Guide pricing starts from $599 per person. Final cost depends on season, party size, accommodation level and how the experience sits inside your wider itinerary — we send a fully itemised quote with no hidden extras.

Year-round. Our Tanzania-based planners will match your travel dates to the strongest conditions and flag anything worth shifting by a week or two.

How long does it take?

Typically 3–4 hours, in Serengeti · Tarangire. We can shorten or extend it to fit the rest of your journey.

Is it suitable for families or first-time travellers?

Yes — we brief every guide on your party's ages, pace and interests, and we will tell you honestly if an experience is better swapped for something else.
