FAQ

Safari Questions, Answered

Explore our seasonal guide
How do I choose the right safari?

Start with the parks you want to visit, your travel window and the time you have. Use the style and duration filters, open a route, and contact us if you need help narrowing it down.

What is the best time to visit Tanzania?

June to October is the main dry-season window. January and February are associated with Serengeti calving, while November to May brings greener landscapes and rain. Choose around the park and your interests; wildlife movements and sightings cannot be guaranteed.

How many days should I plan for a safari?

Our catalogue includes day trips and safari itineraries from 2 to 13 days. Choose by the destinations you want to cover and the time you have, then read the day-by-day route.

What is the difference between budget and luxury safaris?

The budget collection focuses on affordable travel; the luxury collection places more emphasis on accommodation and comfort. Routes, overnight stays and inclusions vary by itinerary, so check the individual page and confirm the details with the team.

Can I combine a safari with Zanzibar?

Yes. Our catalogue includes an existing safari-and-Zanzibar itinerary. Open its route to see how the parks and island days are arranged, then discuss your preferences with the team.
