Yes, many safari tours cater to families with children. However, some parks and lodges have age restrictions, and it’s important to choose a family-friendly safari.
Essential items include lightweight, neutral-colored clothing, a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, a camera, binoculars, and insect repellent. Don’t forget your passport and necessary travel documents.
Yes, it’s recommended to get vaccinations for diseases like yellow fever, typhoid, and hepatitis A/B. Malaria prevention is also advised for certain regions.
Yes, Tanzania is generally considered safe for tourists. It’s always advisable to follow basic safety precautions, particularly in cities and crowded areas.
We are. We are not agents for anybody, but run the treks ourselves through our own Tanzanian company. So you can rest assured that whoever you speak to in our company has climbed Kilimanjaro – and probably many times.
We aim to keep the size of the public groups to a minimum, as we feel that a group that is much larger than ten trekkers is cumbersome and trekkers lose the sense that they are in a wilderness if there are too many people. That said, if you are a single, private group, then there is no problem accommodating you whatever the size of the group, as, of course, you will be aware before arriving in Tanzania of the number of people you will be trekking with.
