    Alexander

    Asked on March 2nd, 2023

    I am very interested in this East African tour, and with the June 2024 departure I have plenty of time to prepare. However I wanted to know if its possible to end my participation at Arusha? I am not interested in going to Zanzibar or do the beach. Is it possible I can go to Nairobi after Arusha instead? I am hoping this is possible, and therefore cut the cost a little. I would much rather visit Masai Mara than go to Zanzibar. If that can be an option, that would be great.

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written March 2023

      If you're not interested in going to Zanzibar, there is a tour that starts and finishes in Nairobi. We do not offer the Tanzania section without Zanzibar. So you could leave the tour early if you wanted and return to Nairobi, but this would not decrease the price of the tour as our packages are sold as stated on the website.
