Entry into the United Republic of Tanzania is contingent upon the traveler holding a valid passport and an appropriate visa. The passport must maintain a validity of no less than six months from the date of entry and contain a minimum of two blank pages. The visa fee is set at $100 United States Dollars for holders of U.S. passports, and $50 United States Dollars for citizens of the majority of other countries.
Your Safari, All-Inclusive.
We handle the details so you can lose yourself in the adventure. With CaminosdeAfrica , all park fees, private transfers, meals, drinks, and unlimited game drives are covered. You only need to pack your sense of wonder.
(What’s extra: Visas, lodge bar tabs, laundry, and souvenirs.)
Extensive travel insurance effective for the entire duration of your trip is strongly advised. This should ensure coverage for any unforeseen circumstances that may occur such as trip cancellation or postponement, lost or delayed baggage, emergency or accident, illness and evacuation and a need for 24-hour medical assistance.
Please note that many of our remote camps and lodges are solar-powered or run on generators which typically shut off after dinner, creating a magical, off-grid experience. While consistent 24/7 electricity isn’t always guaranteed, you will have ample opportunity to charge your devices in our vehicles and at your accommodations during the day.
A Note on Connectivity: Wi-Fi is available at select lodges, but service is often intermittent and slow. We encourage you to view this as part of the authentic safari experience and recommend downloading any essential content beforehand.
A comprehensive medical consultation is an essential prerequisite for your journey to Tanzania. Beyond the standard requirements for Yellow Fever and Malaria prophylaxis, your physician may recommend additional vaccinations. Please seek advice from a travel clinic well in advance of your departure, specifically regarding Hepatitis A & B, routine booster shots, and appropriate prescription medications.
Itinerary Changes & Airline Policies
Guest-Requested Changes: Any last-minute changes to your itinerary (e.g., accommodations, flights, or services) are subject to availability and will incur all additional costs, for which the client is solely responsible.
Airline Liabilities: Safari Infinity is not responsible for airline schedule changes, cancellations, fare increases, baggage loss, or other issues. All claims must be directed to the airline involved. As flight changes may require adding extra nights to your tour, any resulting costs are the client’s responsibility.
