Important notes

  • Flights inside Tanzania: Arusha → Serengeti · Arusha → Zanzibar.
  • Prices are per person, sharing a room, in USD, for travel 1 April 2026 – 31 December 2027. They are high-season prices; green-season dates (April–May) are usually cheaper — ask us for a quote.
  • More travellers means a lower price per person, because the vehicle and guide are shared: the 4–5 and 6-traveller prices are applied automatically.
  • Children (2–12), solo travellers, single rooms, odd group sizes and groups larger than six are quoted on request.
  • Every trip is private and can start on any date. Lodges are confirmed at booking, subject to availability; a lodge of the same standard is offered if one is full.
  • Small planes allow about 15 kg of luggage per person in a soft bag.
  • Medical and air-evacuation insurance is required. Ask a travel clinic about malaria tablets; no yellow-fever certificate is needed from Singapore, the UAE or Bangladesh unless a connection in Addis Ababa or Nairobi lasts more than 12 hours.

Cancellation

Sending a booking request is free and non-binding. We confirm lodges, flights and the final price within 24 hours before you pay. Once confirmed, cancellation charges follow the lodge and domestic-flight terms and depend on how close to departure you cancel; we tell you the exact terms with your confirmation.
