I'm very interested in traveling with Tour Radar on the Grand East African Safari. I've traveled with Tour Radar on numerous occasions but always with a smaller group. My only concern is the number of people I will be traveling with on this safari. Do you have any smaller group trips? 6-8 is preferred - thank you.

This is a small group tour of 12 people maximum. The minimum number is 2 and the maximum is 12, and the trip is not always run with full capacity.

Why can't you book as a solo traveler and select a single private room? Why does the accommodation drop down list 17 nights accommodation, when the tour is 12 days and the flights dropdown includes Regional Flights Kigali Nairobi (one Way) and Arusha Zanzibar (One Way), when Kigali, Arusha and Zanzibar are not even on the itinerary? Are there possibilities of extending the tour i.e. adding nights before or after?

Yes, you can book as a solo traveler for this trip though the price will be US$ 11700.00. Accommodation is 11 nights and not 17 as stated. We have made that correction on the site. The trip has only one flight inclusion of Kigali Nairobi (one way) which is stated in the itinerary. Yes we can add extra nights before the and after the tour departing on your time of travel.

I want to confirm if this is a group tour and how many people will be on the tour. Also, is this focused on seeing the great migration at the Maya River? Is August or September the better date to see the river crossing?

We do have an alternative safari of 11 days and 10 nights of unforgettable safari experiences for Affordable Kenya Tanzania. We have few spaces available and it departs on August 4th. We trust that this safari tour suits your preferences and aspirations as it focusses more on migration.

I am from United States and have had covid vaccination and ONE booster. I do NOT want the the other booster shots that followed the first one. Will I be able to go on this vacation?

Not happy.....you did NOT answer my question about covid vaccines. Do I need all the boosters, or is the one booster I had sufficient for travel?

The Best of East Africa Safari was an incredibly wonderful tour. The tour leader and drivers were professional and a pleasure to work with. The itinerary was superb for watching and photographing wildlife in 5 national parks in Kenya and Tanzania. The safari lodges and camps were of high quality with excellent meals and a pleasure to stay in. Really a perfect once in a life time experience. We highly recommend it.Show more

  Traveler•Written March 2025
  That would be double the listed price and effectively means I would be paying for 2 people. How is that correct or justified? I appreciate a single supplement would be added and could increase the price by $1000-$1500 for instance. That is way out of my budget, with an international flight still to add and for just 12 days.
- Holiday Destination SafarisOperator•Written March 2025
  The price of US$11,700.00 is based on traveling just alone on the trip and not accompanying any group. We can still customize the trip to suit your needs and budget.

  All you need is a covid vaccine and a yellow fever inoculation certificate. The emphasis is on the main vaccine and not the boosters.
