Frequently Asked Questions

Is this safari suitable for travellers who want more than traditional game drives?
Yes. The itinerary combines game drives with guided walking and a Kilimanjaro foothill experience, making it ideal for travellers looking for a more active and varied Tanzania adventure.
No. The walking experiences are designed at a gentle pace and are not summit climbs. Your guides can adapt the pace to the group’s fitness level and the conditions.
