Frequently Asked Questions

A mid-range Tanzania safari typically costs around US$250–450 per person per day, so a 5-day northern-circuit safari usually lands between US$1,500 and US$2,500 per person sharing. Budget camping safaris can be lower; luxury lodge and fly-in safaris run higher. A large share of the price is fixed government park and concession fees — not operator profit — which is why prices rarely drop below a certain floor.
All our Kilimanjaro packages include: park and conservation fees, an experienced lead guide and assistant guide, all porters, full board meals on the mountain (breakfast, lunch, dinner, hot drinks), camping equipment (tent, sleeping mat, dining tent), rescue fee, and airport transfers. Excluded: international flights, Tanzania visa, personal gear, tips, and travel insurance.
Park entry, concession and crater fees are set by the government (TANAPA and the Ngorongoro authority) and can total US$70–250+ per person per day depending on the parks visited. These fees fund conservation and anti-poaching, and they apply equally to every operator. They are the single biggest reason a Serengeti or Ngorongoro safari has a high baseline cost.
Yes — travel insurance with high-altitude medical evacuation cover is mandatory for all Kilimanjaro climbers. Your policy must cover helicopter evacuation and repatriation up to 6,000m. We recommend policies from World Nomads, SafetyWing, or Battleface.
Yes. A deposit of roughly 20–35% to confirm a booking is standard practice across reputable Tanzanian operators, with the balance due before or on arrival. Operators need the deposit to pre-pay park permits and reserve lodges. Be cautious of anyone demanding 100% upfront with no contract, or who only accepts untraceable payment methods.
Cancellations 60+ days before departure: full refund minus a $150 admin fee. 30–59 days: 50% refund. Under 30 days: no refund, but we will credit 80% of the value toward a rebooking within 12 months. Force majeure events (natural disasters, government travel bans) are handled case by case.
Check that the operator is registered with TATO (Tanzania Association of Tour Operators) and licensed by the Tanzania Tourist Board. Look for a real physical office address in Arusha or Moshi, verifiable reviews on independent platforms, a written contract and itinerary, and a sensible deposit structure. Visit Kili is a locally registered, Moshi-based operator.
The two best seasons are January–February (short dry season) and June–October (long dry season). These months offer stable weather, clear skies, and the best summit views. Avoid April–May (long rains) when trails are wet and muddy. March and November are shoulder months — possible but wetter.
Zanzibar is generally safe for tourists, but petty scams and persistent beach vendors ("beach boys") are common around the busier beaches. Book excursions through your hotel or a reputable operator rather than street sellers, agree prices in writing beforehand, dress modestly in Stone Town out of respect for local culture, and use trusted transfers. With basic precautions most visitors have a relaxed, trouble-free stay.
You don't need to be an elite athlete, but you should be able to hike 6–8 hours per day at altitude. We recommend training with 3–4 months of regular hiking (ideally on hilly terrain), cardiovascular exercise, and at least one multi-day hike before your climb. Previous experience at altitude is helpful but not essential.
The dry season from late June to October offers the easiest game viewing and the northern Serengeti river crossings. December to March is green, quieter and cheaper, with the wildebeest calving around Ndutu — excellent for predators and photography. The long rains of April–May are the lowest season. The "best" time depends on whether you prioritise the migration, fewer crowds, or lower prices.
For most first-time visitors, yes — the Great Migration is one of the planet's greatest wildlife spectacles, with over 1.5 million wildebeest on the move. The key is timing: the herds shift with the rains, so the river crossings (July–October, north) and calving (December–March, south) happen in different areas. We position your safari to match where the herds actually are for your travel dates.
