How to Book a Safari in Tanzania – Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a safari in Tanzania?
Send your travel dates, group size, budget and interests through our enquiry form. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris creates a free, tailor-made itinerary and quote. Once you are happy, a deposit confirms your booking, and we secure your lodges and flights and send your travel documents.
How far in advance should I book a Tanzania safari?
For peak season from June to October, and for holidays or calving season, book six to twelve months ahead, as the best lodges and camps fill early. Green season and shorter trips can often be arranged with a few weeks' or months' notice.
Is it better to book a safari directly with a local operator?
Booking directly with a Tanzania-based operator like Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris means you deal with the team who plans and runs your trip. You get local knowledge, flexible itineraries, faster communication and support on the ground throughout your safari.
How much deposit is required to book a safari?
A deposit is required to confirm your booking and secure lodges, flights and permits, with the balance due before travel. The exact deposit, payment dates and cancellation terms are set out clearly in your quote and booking confirmation.
How do I pay for a Tanzania safari?
We offer secure payment options, which are explained in your quote and invoice. Payments are made in stages, with a deposit to confirm and the balance before travel. Always keep your booking confirmation and receipts for your records.
What information do I need to provide when booking?
We need your travel dates, the number and ages of travelers, full names as in passports, budget, preferred parks and lodge style, dietary needs and any special requests or celebrations. Flight details can be added once you book international flights.
Can I customize my safari itinerary?

Should I book flights before my safari?
We recommend confirming your safari dates first, then booking international flights into Kilimanjaro International Airport or Dar es Salaam. Internal flights to the Serengeti or Zanzibar can be booked through us as part of your itinerary.
