Wondering if you are running this tour the opposite direction? We are looking for a 1-way safari tour FROM Arusha TO Nairobi (or even better, Entebbe)

No we do not, but you do have the option to continue with your crew to finish in Nairobi.

We would like information regarding the quality of the lodge, the permanent tented lodging and the basic camping. Particularly relating to the basic camping, will the passengers be expected to set up their own tents, help with the cooking, etc?

Do you also provide a single supplement for the tour?

Can you send me details of this tour East Africa highlights with Coastal addition and with 'upgraded' accommodation facilities. Interested in this tour for 2024.

We do use a mix of hotels, permanent tented camps and 2 nights camping in canvas tents with basic facilities. Unfortunately we do not have an upgrade option available on this itinerary.

Is there availability for one on the December 15 tour?

The December 15th departure is On Request. We require full payment and passport details to request this trip. It takes 2-4 business days for our local team to confirm. We recommend you do not book any non-refundable portions of your travel such as flights until our local team has confirmed the trip.

Our guide, Julius Leteele was exceptionally good with his local knowledge. He went out of his way to make sure we were secure and informed at every step of the way. Our chefs, Godfrey and Jeremiah provided delicious and nutritious food sourced locally every single day. We really tasted the local authentic cuisine in spite of being in the road. Our driver, David was supremely skilled and kept us safe even with the wild and uncertain roads. We realise how risky travel can be in the wild with uncertain terrain but we always felt safe with him. All in all, it was an enriching and memorable experience.Show more

  Is there any additional charge to return to Nairobi with the crew? Is that done in a single day drive?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written May 2024
  There is no charge for returning to Nairobi with the crew, it's a single day drive. Any flights out of Nairobi should not be booked to depart before 9 pm tonight. We highly recommend you book a post-trip accommodation and depart the following day.

  Do you also provide a single supplement for the tour?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written November 2023
  Accommodation within the Serengeti is in two-person canvas dome tents with sleeping bags and camping mattresses supplied. The campsite does have facilities but they are very basic and are not to the same standard you would find in western countries. There is rarely toilet paper provided and shower pressure is often reduced to a trickle of cold water.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written November 2023
  The cook will prepare meals for the group for most of included meals. While not required, any assistance you provide, such as chopping vegetables or washing dishes, will be appreciated. A typical camp breakfast might be toast with spreads, cereal, something hot such as eggs or pancakes, as well as tea and coffee. Lunch is almost always a sandwich with healthy salad and assorted fillings, sometimes with fruit to follow. Dinner might be a BBQ, rice dish or pasta dish and there is usually the chance to try some African food such as ugali and stew.
