Question 2

How do I participate?

Accepted Answer

Simply fill out our form and we'll keep you informed about any upcoming trips you might be interested to join.

Question 3

What is the difference between a group tour, and a "join a group" safari or trek?"

Accepted Answer

Our group tours are full trip itineraries: we provide transport, accommodation, meals and excursions for your complete trip.    Join a group safaris or treks only cover a part of your trip: only for safari or trekking you'll be joined together with a group. Before & after the excursion is not included. On top of this, when you choose to join a group for safari or trekking, you can be joined together with clients from other reputable tour operators when we don't have enough clients ourselves. This is how we keep departure dates flexible and guarantee departure on almost every date.

Question 4

Why do I have to pay a deposit?

Accepted Answer

We can only offer trips at a certain price if a minimum of participants is confirmed. We do not want to endanger departure should anyone cancel. That is just unfair towards other participants. Once confirmed, only force majeure should stop the trip.   This deposit (useally around 50% of the trip base price) is refundable up until 2 days prior to the trip, and to the extent that all extra costs caused by your cancellation are paid for (i.e. the bigger the group, the greater your refund, with an average of $250 to be refunded)

Question 5

How is the rest of the payment handled?

Accepted Answer

The remainder of the base price can be paid either upon arrival in cash or by card (transfer fees apply) in USD or in GBP/EUR/TZS (exchange rates of the day applies, according to financial instituations in Tanzania).   The additional trips should be paid 24 hours in advance, should you wish to participate. This leaves our agents with enough time to confirm and make arrangements. Our staff will enquire about additional trips during breakfast and dinner.

Question 6

What happens if not enough people paid the deposit?

Accepted Answer

If the minimum required number of people confirmed their interest, yet we did not reach the minimmum number of deposits, everyone will get a full refund. We will contact you with future offers should you wish so.

Question 7

I've entered the form, yet I now wish to participate on another trip. What should I do?"

Accepted Answer
