Important Safari Information
-
By default, our tours include shared accommodation in twin or double rooms, unless you request something different. A single room is available at an extra cost. Please check your program for full accommodation details.
-
In Arusha and Moshi, most hotels include breakfast only, unless stated otherwise. Please check your itinerary to see your meal plan for each night.
-
Most safari lodges in Tanzania do not include drinks like tea, coffee, soft drinks, or alcohol. This helps keep your safari cost lower. You can order and pay for drinks directly at the lodge or camp.

Tented lodges are very common during safari. These camps are comfortable but also eco-friendly. Many use solar power, so you may have limited Wi-Fi, bucket showers, or no hair dryers. This helps protect nature and reduce environmental impact.
