Whether booking a reservation or right before boarding an aircraft to the land of dreams, Tecomate Tours has produced a list of helpful answers to often-asked questions that may come up.[/ultimate_heading][vc_accordion active_tab=”false” collapsible=”yes” style=”3″][vc_accordion_tab title=”When is the best time to go on a safari in Tanzania?”][vc_column_text]Tanzania is a fantastic destination all year round because of its lovely locations and lovely people. The ideal time to go depends on a number of variables, including your flexibility with regard to travel dates and the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti each year. Some people prefer to travel during the rainy season, which we refer to as our low season months, which run from March to May, while others prefer to travel during the dry season, which we refer to as our high/peak season, which runs from June to February. There is never a poor time to travel to Tanzania because the country offers a variety of entertaining activities throughout the year and the greatest service is guaranteed by our team.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”How far in advance should I book my safari?”][vc_column_text]Whether your vacation is taking place between June and October or December to February, we strongly urge you to make your safari reservations as far in advance as you can. This makes it possible for us to manage crucial practicalities, such as finding out the room availability during these busy months at your selected lodging.
It’s highly advised to reserve your safari at least six to twelve months in advance. Although they are subject to the accommodations’ room availability, last-minute reservations are also permitted.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”What are the road conditions like in the park?”][vc_column_text]All of the park’s roads are uneven due to conservation initiatives. However, are regularly maintained by park management. “A real Africa Massage” is our catchphrase for it, which is ironic. You should be prepared to go on such rocky roads. Clients with back problems should notify us in advance so we can provide advice and arrange for extra cushions on their vehicle seats to improve comfort.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Is Tanzania a Malaria hotspot?”][vc_column_text]Due to its tropical temperature, Tanzania have mosquito-infested areas. The installation of mosquito nets and daily spraying of the rooms are among two of the precautions that have been taken in a number of locations, including lodgings, to lessen the impact. Nonetheless, before going on a safari, we strongly advise guests to bring bug repellents and speak with their doctor about the best anti-malaria treatments.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”How many drivers do we have on safari?”][vc_column_text]Every vehicle is operated by a single driver-guide the entire time. You can choose to switch drivers during game drives if you have a confirmed group tour with two or three vehicles. Your departure will include drivers according to the number of vehicles. But, a single-driver guide will provide service if you reserve a private trip from one to six persons.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”When should you begin the game drive?”][vc_column_text]Starting early is generally advised. Game drives are normally permitted by the park authority from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Because we provide unlimited game drives, you can begin as early as possible depending on your flexible sense of game drive.
When you start early, you have a unique opportunity to see the sunrise while in the bush, as well as many animals since many animals are actively searching for food during the morning.
You can choose to leave your lodge with breakfast and lunch boxes for the entire day game drive, or you can have an early hot breakfast at 630am and then leave with a lunch box for the entire day game drive.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Can we do a balloon ride during our safari?”][vc_column_text]Yes! In the Serengeti or Ndutu areas, balloon trips can be booked for an extra fee. We advise expressing this interest at the time of booking to guarantee a seat at the balloon company. Even if you decide to go at the last minute, seat availability must be taken into consideration.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Is it possible to do a fly-in or fly-out option instead of driving throughout?”][vc_column_text]Customizing your departure to incorporate a local flight to/from the park is entirely doable and customizable. Please share your preferences with us so that we can tailor the package to your needs.
Note: Small planes with a seating capacity of 15 to 40 people fly daily within national parks. They function regularly and are safe and quick as the laws permit.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Is it possible to start the safari soon after arrival at the airport instead of booking a pre-night in Arusha city?”][vc_column_text]The arrival time of your international or domestic flight will have an impact on your ability to begin your safari right away, as indicated in the highlights below.
- You might be able to drive right to a neighbouring national park, such as Arusha, Tarangire, or Lake Manyara for a wildlife game drive if your flight lands at Kilimanjaro or Arusha airport between 3 am and 10 a.m. East African time.
- If your aircraft lands in the afternoon and before 15:00hrs, you can only drive and spend the night in a lodge inside the park or outside but close to the listed parks because there won’t be enough time for a game drive. The following morning, the game drive can be scheduled early.
- If your flight lands after 16:00, we advise staying in Arusha and making the drive to the park the following morning. Considering the distance from the airport, it is hard to travel to the national park for an overnight stay since park gates often close at 6 p.m.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Which type of electronic outlets are used in Tanzania?”][vc_column_text]Tanzania uses UK pin-square outlets frequently, and some regions utilize both UK types with USB connections. If you have a USA cable, you should bring an adapter/malt plug to avoid the hassle of charging your batteries. We strongly advise bringing power cords that are compatible with the above outlets.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Is it possible to do a cultural excursion during the safari?”][vc_column_text]Cultural activities can be added to your package at any moment, depending on your safari schedule. We are glad to show you our unique settings of real cultural practices that are thought of as the true African identification.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Which accommodation levels do you offer?”][vc_column_text]We think we have covered all bases, making it simpler for you to organize your upcoming trip to our lovely nation.
The basic level cannot be combined with another level due to its arrangements and functioning, however, levels can be coupled to generate tests ranging from Comfort to Luxury.
- Basic Level
- Comfort Level
- Classic Level
- Luxury Level
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Which meal plan is booked in our lodges?”][vc_column_text]Bookings for all safari lodgings are made on a full board basis, which includes (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). The first lodging option in Arusha, however, is reserved on a bed-and-breakfast basis, so your package includes both an overnight stay and breakfast the following morning. Dinner on the day of arrival can be paid directly depending on the client’s arrival time. Please let us know if you’d like dinner included when you arrive so we can book and charge you the extra fee for it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Do accommodations accommodate clients with meal restrictions?”][vc_column_text]Yes! If the information is shared well in advance, all establishments will accommodate any meal requirements of customers while providing service. You can select or request your favourable meal from the customized menus that are produced and served to customers during check-in or dinner time and include culinary classes for persons with diverse dietary restrictions.
We firmly advise you to communicate with us for any of your food or medical information so that we can communicate it to the accommodations for efficient service delivery.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Do accommodations in the bush have a fence?”][vc_column_text]No! Neither our parks nor the hotels inside the parks are fenced. A more genuine experience is often had while sleeping inside the park. Even though the rooms are not walled, the team always takes precautions to ensure your comfort and security.
At the arrival briefing, you will be given advice on how to stay safe in the camp and what safety precautions to take just in case. Security personnel and staff are on duty for your protection, and they can take you from your tent to the main area or restaurant and back again while being familiar with the neighbourhood. Each lodging offers a unique way of staying in touch with the front desk during the night in case of trouble or an emergency.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Is there a hot shower at each lodge?”][vc_column_text]Yes! Each lodging promises a hot shower. The most alluring aspect of a tented camp, though, is the hot shower, which is accessible but not always, as in lodges, until you request it.
A camp staff member will direct hot water to your bathroom after you leave a note at reception or use the radio available in your tent to let them know what time you prefer a hot shower.
This is because tented camps frequently have boilers and use a pipe to supply hot water, in contrast to lodges and hotels, which have water heaters in each bathroom.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Which method of payment is used at the lodge to pay bills?”][vc_column_text]Cash or credit card payments are accepted. Your bills should be no older than 2006 if you pay with cash. Also, if you pay with a credit card online, you must abide by the beneficiary bank’s bank fee instructed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Which rooming configurations are available in accommodations?”][vc_column_text]Each accommodation has a different rooming configuration but common configurations are:
- Single room/Tent for solo client
- Double/twin room for two clients
- Triple room for three clients
- Family and/or interconnecting rooms that accommodate four clients at once (2 children and 2 parents).
- Luxury properties especially in Zanzibar and some in Arusha city have villas that can accommodate 4 adults in one villa
[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”What should I do if I have a problem in my lodge?”][vc_column_text]Although it is quite rare that you will experience issues while staying at the suggested accommodations, you should contact the management right away so that he can come up with a speedy solution in the event that you do. While in the room you can use a radio provided to contact the front desk during the night to request quick assistance. If you need further help, kindly let us know so that we can give it to you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Do accommodations offer laundry service?”][vc_column_text]Laundry services are paid for in each lodging. Nevertheless, since the laundry process relies on hand washing and sun drying, you will need at least two nights if you wish to do laundry while camping in a tent. Even if you only stay for one night, you can still clean your clothing if you stay in a big hotel because some of them provide laundry facilities/Machines.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”How should I pack for Safari?”][vc_column_text]The choice of colour should be considered. Pack Khaki, neutral, grey, olive, and beige clothing instead of blue, red, yellow, pink, and other vivid colours. Vibrant colours are not advised during game time since they draw insects like Tse-Tse flies.
Layer your clothing, making sure to include warm clothing for chilly morning and nighttime hours. An attire that is casual is advised during the day. Bring comfortable shoes throughout the day and sandals for the game drive’s conclusion.
Don’t forget to pack your camera with extra batteries, sunscreen, insect repellents, a sun hat, sunglasses, an outlet adapter, and your chosen toiletries, depending on your preferences.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”How much money will I need for the safari?”][vc_column_text]It is wholly reliant on personal expenditures. To cover your lodging, gratitude, and any purchases, however, we advise having a certain amount set aside.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=”Can you store my luggage for me?”][vc_column_text]I have no doubts! At no additional cost, we would be pleased to store your baggage and deliver them back to you at the conclusion of your tour. We will ask you to sign a luggage form during the meeting, and your contact person will get it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_accordion_tab][/vc_accordion][/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12″ css=”.vc_custom_1491744105105{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Didn’t Find the Answer?” alignment=”left” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:34px;” main_heading_line_height=”desktop:44px;” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:25px;”][/ultimate_heading][dt_contact_form fields=”name,email,message” message_height=”5″ required=”name,email,message” button_title=”Send Question” button_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
