Tanzania Safari Info
A group of four passengers on the same safari
may choose any departure day and will be entitled to upgraded accommodation
at no extra charge. Single seats may be booked on all safaris but are
subject to a single supplement for accommodation except during April,
May and June.
Any of the above itineraries can be taken with an exclusive vehicle. for
a group of 4 or more there will normally be no extra charge for the exclusive
vehicle. for two clients requiring an exclusive vehicle, there will be
a supplementary charge of around 25%. We can offer groups of 5 or more
exclusive vehicles at per person rates lower than the standard "seat
in vehicle" costs.
If you do have an exclusive vehicle for your safari then the timing and itinerary becomes completely flexible, within logistical constraints. You will be free to change the start and finish days and times, the places visited and the order in which you visit them to suit your individual preferences and interests.
When you are on safari you can ask your driver/guide to look out specifically for the things you want to see, and take as long looking or photographing them as you want, within your overall timetable.
TRANSPORTATION ON SAFARI:
All
safaris begin and end in Arusha. Depending on how and where you arrive,
you will be collected from and returned to either Mount Meru Hotel (for
the Nairobi shuttle bus), Kilimanjaro International Airport, or Arusha
local airport. Clients travelling from Nairobi Airport may arrange private
transport to and from Arusha.
Set date departures normally use specially converted Nissan safari vehicles
with a maximum capacity of 7 passengers; guaranteed window seats and easy
access to the roof hatch for game viewing and photography.
Specially
adapted Land Rovers or Land Cruisers with a maximum of 5 passengers per
vehicle are used on all camping safaris and are available as an option
on any other exclusive vehicle safari. On lodge or camping safaris clients
may choose to have their own exclusive vehicle. There is generally no
charge for this for groups of 4 or more.
All our safaris in Northern Tanzania start and finish in Arusha. Kilimanjaro International Airport is about 40 miles from Arusha and receives daily KLM flights from Europe.
Since the KLM flights continue to Dar-es-Salaam, it is possible to arrange an itinerary with arrival into Kilimanjaro and departure from Dar or visa versa. This is particularly useful for those wishing to include a visit to Zanzibar or the Southern reserves into their schedule.
Arusha is a great deal closer to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, than it is to Dar-es-Salaam. The number of airlines and frequency of flights into Nairobi is much greater than those into Dar, and the prices more competitive. For these reasons, 80% of safari visitors to Northern Tanzania fly into Nairobi. We arrange shuttle bus transfers or private transportation for clients from Nairobi to Arusha. For UK residents we can book British Airways flights into Nairobi and out of Dar es Salaam- ideal for a Northern Tanzania Safari combined with a Zanzibar extension. Also, we can book flights on Kenya Airways into and out of Nairobi..
There is an inexpensive shuttle bus running
twice daily between Nairobi and Arusha.The shuttle
bus from Nairobi has one early morning departure (08:00 AM) and one afternoon
departure (14:00). The terminals are the Norfolk, Stanley and Hilton Hotels
in Nairobi and the Mount Meru Hotel in Arusha. The journey takes at least
3 and 1/2 hours, dependent on road conditions and subject to formalities
at the border crossing at Namanga. Clients do have the option of arranging
private transportation from Nairobi to Arusha and return at a supplementary
charge.
NAIROBI TO ARUSHA FLIGHTS
There is a daily flight available from Nairobi airport to Kilimanjaro
airport.
