Frequent Asked Questions & Booking

Our 4-wheel drive safari vehicles offer comfortable place to five people in the rear, and one person in front with the driver. So we can take up to 6 people on a safari. If your group has more people we will schedule additional vehicles.

Of course you can go on your own private safari, together with your driver/guide. In fact, most of our safaris are privately organized. The price however depends on the number of people on safari.

In Tanzania you will only find a self-drive car for short trips within town. It is not possible to rent a self-drive car outside of town. A car with driver can be rented though.

Once we agreed on a certain itinerary and the price, you will be asked to make a down payment on our bank account. Your booking will be confirmed upon receipt of this deposit, and we’ll send you a confirmation e-mail. We shall then also proceed making the necessary reservations.

The balance has then to be paid upon our account 45 days before start of the itinerary (Bank transfer take around 5 working days). More read our TERMS AND CONDITION.
