Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does ABTA protection cover?

ABTA protection means your holiday arrangements, financial payments and support throughout your trip are safeguarded under the ABTA code. Should your tour operator fail, ABTA steps in to help you return home or resume your itinerary.

2. What is ATOL protection?

ATOL (Air Travel Organiser’s Licence) protects your flights and flight-inclusive holiday bookings. If your airline or travel company collapses, the Civil Aviation Authority covers your repatriation and refunds unused services.

3. When is the best time to visit Tanzania and Zanzibar?

The peak safari season runs June–October for game viewing during the dry months. November offers fewer crowds and lush landscapes. Zanzibar’s dry season (June–October) is ideal for beach escapes, though the island offers warm weather year-round.

Absolutely. All properties accommodate special diets, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and cultural menus. Please notify Louise or Scott at booking.

7. How fit do I need to be?

Game drives involve minimal walking; vehicles are comfortable and air-conditioned. Some lodges have uneven terrain—moderate mobility is required. Let us know of any mobility needs in advance.
