Important Notes:
Accommodation: Our standard tours feature shared accommodations in twin or double rooms, unless otherwise requested and agreed upon. Single supplement options are available upon request. For full details of your lodging arrangements, please refer to the itinerary.
Meals: In Moshi and Arusha, accommodations typically include breakfast only, unless other meal plans have been arranged in advance. Please check your program for specific meal details.
Beverages: Most safari lodges do not include beverages (tea, coffee, soft drinks, or alcohol) as part of the accommodation package to avoid extra charges for drinks you may not require. You can purchase drinks directly from the lodge’s restaurant or bar.
Tented Lodges: The majority of accommodations in the savannah are tented lodges, many of which operate using solar energy. This may mean certain limitations, such as bucket showers, limited Wi-Fi, and the absence of hair dryers, all aimed at reducing environmental impact. We encourage you to review the accommodations in your itinerary to ensure they align with your personal travel preferences and expectations.
