Tanzania Safari, Kilimanjaro Climb, and Zanzibar Beach Vacations

Northern Circuit Safaris usually start and finish in Arusha while Southern Circuit safaris start and finish in Dar es salaam. However, we can provide pickup services from other cities like Moshi.

This is a difficult question and a personal one. The Northern Circuit is more popular because Serengeti NP is one of the most well-known National Parks on Earth and Ngorongoro Crater is one of the new Wonders of the Natural World. On the other hand, the South has its special allure by being a more out of the beaten track circuit, with less tourists, amazing wildlife, a higher sense of wilderness and remoteness. Usually we recommend the Northern Circuit for travellers coming to Tanzania for the first time and recommend the Southern Circuit for those that have already been in the Northern Circuit or would particularly value the fact that the Southern Circuit will have less tourists and vehicles and provide a more alternative itinerary. We also recommend the South to those landing in Dar es Salaam and only having a few days for the safari.

Each safari is tailor made so there are always services/tours that would be added to the exclusions of a specific safari, like flights, hotels, balloon flights, etc. However, each safari has, at least, the following inclusions:
* 4WD Toyota Land Cruiser with pop-up roof for game viewing and Unlimited Mileage
* Accommodation during safari as detailed (Full Board)
* All National Park entrances **
* Unlimited Water and Unlimited mileage during game drives.
* Donations and payments to local community projects.

** Unlikely and unexpected official Governmental increases of park fees or taxes (after booking time), which are beyond our control, are not included and may be charged to the client.

Excluded:
* Visas
* Souvenirs
* Items of Personal Interest
* Tips for the driver/guide (10 USD per day per person, but it is ultimately up to the Client’s discretion)
* Tips for the cook (5 USD per day per person, but it is ultimately up to the Client’s discretion. The cook will only be present on public camping safaris)

When you contact us for a quote, we will provide you different levels of luxury for your safaris. The most different one is the standard one, which is included in the daily price of the safari. It normally refers to public campsites where we will bring our own tents (you do not need to put them up, our staff will do it for you), camping equipment (sleeping bags, pillows, mats, sheets, etc.), a cook to prepare your meals, food and cooking equipment.
Now, if you upgrade to any other level of accommodation, the level of comfort will increase drastically. On any level above the basic one, you will stay in private tented camps or lodges, with large tents or rooms with plenty of space, real beds, private en-suite toilets and showers. In this case, we will not send a cook with you because all the meals will be prepared by the camps/lodges (full board is always included).
There will be more than one option for upgrades, ones more expensive than the others, but they will all have beds and en-suite bathroom as mentioned above. The main difference between further higher levels of luxury will be the comfort level, the quality of the tents/rooms, decoration, service level, quality of the restaurant, location of the camp/lodge in the park, etc. The higher the level, the more comfort and luxurious your stay will be.
