I am a travel agent in the USA and I am planning tours to Africa to include safari and so on. I would like to get more information on how I can get group rates and or collaborate on some tours.

If you would like to enquire about group rates or explore collaboration opportunities, please contact our team directly through our main customer service channels. They will be happy to assist you further and provide the right support.

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.

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).

Can you provide me with the name of the hotels/motels you used for the Road to Zanzibar Tour?

Tentative accommodation list: Day 1 Zanzibar - Hillpark Hotel Day 2&3 Nungwi - Amaan Bugalow Days 3-4 Serengeti National Park - Serengeti NP camping Day 5 Mto Wa Mbu - Twiga Lodge & Campsite Days 6-7 Usambara Mountains - Lushuto Camp Day 8 Dar es Salaam - Kipepeo campsite Day 9 Stone Town - Shangani Hotel Day 10&11 Zanzibar - Mizingani Seafront Hotel

What should I pack for the tour?

Essentials include a sleeping bag, travel pillow, comfortable walking shoes, lightweight clothing, and sun protection. Other recommended items are a waterproof toiletry bag and a high-beam headlamp.

What are some options for optional activities during the tour?

Optional activities available include a Nairobi City Experience for $55, a balloon ride in Serengeti National Park starting from $745, and both a spice tour and snorkeling in Zanzibar for $25 and $50 respectively.

What dining options are available while on the tour?

Most meals are provided during camping on the tour with suggestions for dining out available. Budget between $10 to $25 per meal for non-provided meals depending on location and taste preference.

What accommodations are planned during the tour?

Accommodations vary by location and may include hotels in Zanzibar, campsites in the Serengeti National Park, and lodges in other regions.

Can I extend my stay in Zanzibar after the tour?

Staying longer in Zanzibar can be arranged by booking additional nights at either beach resorts or Stone Town accommodations, subject to availability.

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

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 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.

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).
