Frequently asked questions

Do I need to budget for anything beyond the package price?

While your main costs like park fees and transport are covered, you should plan for
personal expenses such as alcoholic drinks, laundry, and souvenirs, as well as the
customary tips for your driver-guide and camp staB which are not included in the base
price.

How do I handle the required travel insurance and visas?

Because these requirements vary based on your nationality and personal health needs,
travelers are responsible for securing their own international flights, entry visas for
Kenya or Tanzania, and comprehensive travel insurance that includes medical
evacuation coverage.

Are there any extra costs for the activities mentioned in the itinerary?

Most game drives are fully included, but specialized experiences like hot air balloon
safaris over the Serengeti or visits to a traditional Maasai village are optional add-ons
that can be paid for separately during your trip.
