    Amanda

    Asked on August 12th, 2025

    I was wondering if it's a possibility to upgrade accommodations on this tour from basic camping tents to tented camping/cabin or bungalow with toilet/ shower facilities, and what would the cost be.

    Accommodation
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten August 2025

      There may be a choice of camping or upgrading to a room. Rooms cost approximately USD 40-100 per room per night for a twin room and cannot be pre-booked. Standards of these rooms vary greatly, and we recommend viewing the room before purchasing the night's accommodation. The day-by-day itinerary advises when upgrades may be possible (subject to availability). Accommodation upgrades are possible on Days 02, 05 and 08 (subject to availability).

  • D

    Dennis

    Asked on March 17th, 2024

    Is it true that April is a rain season in Tanzania - so not good period of time for tourists?

    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten March 2024

      April is a rainy season in Tanzania. Actually, the rainy season is from March to the end of May. The only setback may be just the cold weather then, but wildlife and game viewing is still great. Alternatively, if you are flexible with their travel plans, you can opt for the June through September period which is much warmer, with a much better wildlife experience.

  • I

    Ivan

    Asked on January 17th, 2024

    I would like to inquire about a vacation in more detail. Can I customize it so that I spend two weeks on the beach in Zanzibar after I do the basic tour? In other words, I would like to do a 7-day tour and then add two weeks on the beach.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2024

      The tour is as per brochure and can not be customized. If you wish to stay on in Zanzibar, either at the Northern Beaches beach resort or in Stone Town, we'll be happy to organize additional accommodation (subject to availability).
