FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Planning an unforgettable adventure through Tanzania? Here are the answers to some of the questions we get asked most often.

Absolutely! This itinerary is designed to showcase the best of Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar, but it can easily be tailored to suit your travel plans. Whether you'd like to add extra nights in Nairobi or Zanzibar, upgrade your accommodation, or continue travelling after the trip, our travel specialists can help create the perfect adventure for you.

The best time for this itinerary is generally between June and February, when safari conditions are excellent and Zanzibar enjoys warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine. Wildlife is often easier to spot during the dry seasons, while Zanzibar offers fantastic diving and beach conditions

You'll visit some of East Africa's most famous safari destinations, including the Masai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Depending on the season, you may spot lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, hippos, buffalo, and even the endangered black rhino.

The Great Migration moves throughout the year between Tanzania and Kenya. While sightings can never be guaranteed, travelling between June and October generally gives you the best chance of witnessing this incredible wildlife spectacle.

During the safari, you'll stay in two-person dome tents at campsites surrounded by incredible landscapes and wildlife. Accommodation upgrades are available on selected parts of the safari. In Zanzibar, you can choose accommodation that suits your travel style and budget.

We recommend lightweight clothing, comfortable walking shoes, a warm layer for cooler mornings and evenings, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a camera for all the incredible wildlife encounters.

No. This itinerary includes a Learn to Dive package, making it perfect for beginners. If you're already certified, you can swap the course for fun diving and spend your time exploring Zanzibar's underwater world.

Most major transport, accommodation, safari activities, and your diving package are already included. You'll mainly need spending money for meals not included, drinks, souvenirs, and any optional upgrades or activities.

Vaccination requirements can vary depending on your nationality and travel history. We recommend consulting your doctor or travel clinic well in advance of departure for the latest advice.
