Are there any other dietary options other than vegetarian? E.g. gluten free and dairy free?

Yes, we will try our absolute best to ensure that our guests meal requests are met. Specific meals are on a request basis only as we do not have direct control over the food prepared and served at the hotels and restaurants. As a precaution, we recommend that you check with servers when ordering, and to be careful what you eat.

I would like you to book the 16-26 December tour with you guys. I would also want to make a part of the payment online and the rest when I get to Africa.

Full payment is required on the same day upon the creation of your booking. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate arrangements for partial payment online and the remaining balance upon your arrival in Africa.

Are vacunas needed for traveling to Kenya and Tanzania? First time using this website and I'm a bit nervous about payment.

Recommended vaccines for Kenya and Tanzania include: Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Cholera, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis B, Rabies, Meningococcal meningitis, and Yellow Fever. Always consult your doctor before traveling. Payment can be done through a shared payment link.

Do you know the names of the lodges/tents in each destination?

We'll stay in a comfy hotel in Nairobi on our first night, then the rest of the time we're having the full safari experience in African lodges and luxurious campsites. This is doing Africa in style in twin share raised canvas tents with full bathrooms, patios and all the amentites you would expect of a hotel room. It doesn't get any better than sleeping in luxury under the African stars

I was really impressed by this tour as I was unsure what to expect of a traditionally "party focused" company doing an African safari. I have to say I was blown away. This is a very different type of Contiki with local guides and drivers who are professional and friendly as well as being open and knowledgeable about local culture and customs - plus the animal and landscape knowledge. We saw four of the big five on our first game drive and while the animals seen is beyond anyone's control, it was an incredible experience. We were blessed with sun and rain and the team made sure we didn't miss out on anything, even when it rained. There are plenty of game drives to give you the best chance of seeing as much as possible. The vehicles are comfortable and everyone gets a window seat. The accommodation exceeded my expectations and the staff at each lodge or camp were exceptionally helpful and friendly. This is the perfect trip for anyone wanting to see the animals of Africa (especially elephants and giraffes) and the scenery of East Africa, including the elusive Mt. Kilimanjaro.Show more
