Send us an enquiry with your dates, group size and interests. We reply within 24 hours with an itinerary and a price. Your booking is confirmed when we receive a 30% deposit.

The remaining 70% is paid on arrival in Tanzania, before your trip begins.

The payment methods are listed in section 2 of our Terms & Conditions. Before any bank transfer, please confirm our bank details with Laizer on WhatsApp (+255 745 740 808); we will never ask you by email to pay into a new account.

Yes. Prices are per person in US dollars and depend mainly on how many people share the vehicle. Each tour page shows the price for each group size and what is included.

Park and conservation fees, a private 4x4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof and a professional driver-guide, accommodation and meals as listed in the itinerary, and drinking water. Each tour page has the full list.

International flights, visas, travel insurance, tips, drinks other than water and personal expenses, unless the tour page says otherwise.

Yes. Every trip on our website can be adjusted, and we also plan trips from scratch.

Most visitors do. You can apply online on the official e-visa website, visa.immigration.go.tz, before you travel; a single-entry visa is also available on arrival at the main airports and borders. The ordinary visa costs 50 US dollars; citizens of the United States and Ireland pay 100 US dollars for a multiple-entry visa. Rules can change, so check the official website before you travel.

At least six months after the date you arrive, with at least one blank page. Two blank pages are safer if you also visit Kenya or Zanzibar.

Yes. Since 1 October 2026, foreign visitors to mainland Tanzania need the government's inbound travel insurance, which costs 44 US dollars per person (children up to 2 free, ages 3 to 17 half price) and covers up to 92 days. You can buy it at inbound.nicinsurance.co.tz or on arrival. If you enter through Zanzibar first, you buy the Zanzibar policy instead; you only need one. We also recommend your own travel insurance that covers medical evacuation.

Only if you arrive from a country with a risk of yellow fever, or spend more than 12 hours in transit at an airport in such a country. Check the current list with your doctor or a travel clinic.

No. Plastic carrier bags are banned in Tanzania and may be taken from you on arrival. Small zip-lock bags for toiletries are allowed.

Only with permits from the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority, applied for about a month before you travel, and separate permission from the park. Most visitors leave their drone at home.

Yes. You can book a private trip on your own, or join a group joining safari on fixed dates to share the cost.

On road safaris there is plenty of space for a normal suitcase or bag. On small planes, luggage is usually limited to about 15 kg per person in a soft bag.

Tips are not included and are always your choice. Our tipping guide has the usual amounts for guides, camp staff and Kilimanjaro crews.

You do not need climbing experience, but you should be able to walk for several hours a day on several days in a row. The biggest challenge is altitude: talk to your doctor before you travel, and choose a longer route to give your body time to adjust.
