Tanzania Safari Companies and Tour Operators
If you are to decide on the best tour operator to use on your safari to Tanzania, always make the first round Itinerary which you need to send to several that’s to say 5 or 6 tour operators so that you can be able to compare the given options when they respond to you. These safari operators in their response always provide you with a quote that is usually for a private safari therefore they will take you to where ever you desire rather than where they have a group go. This is always inclusive and all other charges you will have for the safari minus your airfare, personal items, or any tips to the driver or guide.
Some safari operators’ websites have sample itineraries that you can read and get an idea of where you might want to visit which might be a good start for you. You can do a google search “Tanzania Safari” and you will be able to find a number of them or alternatively visit www.junglesafaristanzania.com and check on the several sample safari itineraries, you should always base on company reviews and experience from the past clients. In my opinion, the big safari companies are the best since they are established and will beat up to your expectations. Most safari companies are honest and good and always aim at giving you a good time when you are in Tanzania.
Alternatively, I would ask for other people’s judgment of them by asking any safari operator for a list of people in your country area who have used them in the past, then call them and ask their opinion of the company and for any personal suggestions.
For any Safari company to operate effectively it must be licensed in order to take people to the parks and this is done by the Ministry of Tourism and Natural Resources which is a government organization. A list of licensed operators can be accessed from the Tanzania Tourist Board but I can’t guarantee that it has a complete list of them.
While communicating, be explicit in your requests and suggestions be it in accommodation or food, and always avoid being blurred. Make specific statements with specific terms that are easy to understand and you should always communicate special requests repeatedly. Don’t expect minor requests like a food allergy to be remembered or passed on to each camp or your guide therefore you need to take up the duty of reminding them.
Never leave unclear information “We want mid-level accommodations,” or “we are on a tight budget” well knowing that one man’s luxury is another’s budget.
Social media, Facebook likes, Twitter followers, as well as google plus page likes, can be good indicators of what you should expect from a tour operator.
