What to Know Before Your Last Minute Safari
How Last Minute Booking Works
Send your travel dates, group size, budget and must-see parks. We check lodge and camp availability, then send a tailor-made itinerary and itemized quote. After you confirm and pay the required amount, we secure everything and send vouchers and pre-trip information.
Best Parks for a Short-Notice Safari
Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater are close to Arusha and easy to add at short notice. The Serengeti is reachable by road or a short flight. Lodges outside peak months usually have more availability for quick bookings.
When Last Minute Safaris Work Best
The green season, from November to early June, usually offers the most availability and flexibility. Peak months from July to October and holidays fill early, so last minute options exist but may involve alternative lodges or routes.
Travel Documents at Short Notice
Check that your passport is valid for at least six months with blank pages. Many nationalities can apply for a Tanzania visa online before travel; check official requirements and processing times for your passport. Arrange travel insurance before departure.
Health, Safety & Packing
Speak with your doctor or a travel clinic as soon as possible about vaccinations and malaria prevention, even for a short-notice trip. Pack neutral-colored clothing, a warm layer, sun protection, insect repellent, binoculars and a camera.

Tanzania Last Minute Safari – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Tanzania last minute safari?
A Tanzania last minute safari is a safari booked shortly before travel, sometimes only days or weeks ahead. Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris checks current lodge availability and quickly designs a private itinerary, so you can still enjoy the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire at short notice.
How late can I book a safari in Tanzania?
Safaris can often be arranged within a few days to a few weeks, depending on lodge availability and flights. Short northern circuit safaris are easiest to organize quickly. Contact us with your dates and we will confirm what is possible.
Are last minute safaris cheaper?
Sometimes. Some lodges release rooms or offer seasonal rates, and green season travel is usually better value. In peak months, availability can be limited, so prices may be similar. We always look for the best value options for your dates.
Which parks can I visit on a last minute safari?
Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti are the most popular and easiest to arrange from Arusha. With flights available, southern parks and Zanzibar can also be added, depending on availability.
Can I see the Great Migration on a last minute safari?
Yes, if you travel to the right part of the Serengeti for the season and lodges are available. Calving season in Ndutu runs from about January to March, and river crossings in the north from July to October. Sightings are never guaranteed.
How long should a last minute safari be?
Three to eight days works well for short-notice trips. Three days covers Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater, while five to eight days adds the Serengeti and a more relaxed pace. Longer trips are possible depending on availability.
What is included in a last minute safari?
A Foot Slopes Tours and Safaris safari typically includes a private 4x4 vehicle with pop-up roof, a professional guide, park fees, accommodation, most meals, drinking water and airport transfers. Every quote clearly lists inclusions and exclusions.
How do I pay for a last minute safari?
For short-notice trips, payment is usually required in full or soon after confirmation so lodges and flights can be secured. Payment terms and methods are explained clearly in your quote and invoice.
Can I book a last minute safari after climbing Kilimanjaro?
Yes. Many climbers decide to add a safari after their trek. We can arrange a short safari from Moshi or Arusha, often starting the day after you descend, with a rest night in a lodge first.
