Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to go on safari?
Tanzania is a year-round destination, but June–October offers dry weather and easier wildlife viewing. January–March is calving season in the southern Serengeti. The Great Migration river crossings usually happen July–September.
Do I need a visa to enter Tanzania?
Most nationalities can obtain a visa on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (USD 50 for tourist visa, USD 100 for US passport holders). E-visas are available online in advance — we recommend applying at least 3 weeks before departure.
What vaccinations do I need?
Yellow fever certificate is required if arriving from a yellow-fever endemic country. Malaria prophylaxis is strongly recommended. Consult your travel doctor 4–6 weeks before departure for personalised advice.
How difficult is Kilimanjaro?
Kilimanjaro is a non-technical climb — no ropes or climbing experience required. It is however a serious high-altitude trek and the summit day is genuinely demanding. Our 7–9 day routes give you the best acclimatisation, boosting summit success to 98%.
What's included in your prices?
All safari and climb packages include: park fees, government taxes, professional guide, transport, accommodation, all meals on trip, and airport transfers. Excluded: international flights, tips, personal items and travel insurance.
