Can I request a French-, German- or Spanish-speaking guide for the five-day safari?

Mention your preferred language when enquiring. We will check guide availability for your dates and confirm any effect on the quote before booking; a particular language should not be assumed to be available on every departure.

Should I choose the five-day safari over four days if Tarangire is my main interest?

Compare how much usable time each programme leaves in Tarangire around the return transfer. The additional day can be relevant if you prefer spending longer in one area rather than adding another destination. Have your departure time reviewed before deciding which programme better suits that priority.

Should two adults and two children use the four-person price for the five-day safari?

Request a family quotation using the children's ages and your preferred room-sharing arrangement. Do not assume the adult four-person table is the final family total: room occupancy and any applicable child rates need to be checked for the selected accommodation and travel dates.
