What does the trip cost per person?

Early bird pricing — book by October 31 — is $11,321.34 per person double or $12,898.14 per person single. After October 31, double occupancy (sharing) is $11,682.16 per person and single occupancy (own room) is $13,258.97. Adding the sunrise hot air balloon safari makes it $12,370.16 double or $13,946.97 single. These rates are available until January 1, 2028, and price and availability are subject to change until booked.

How much extra should I budget beyond the package price?

Plan for international airfare, a $100 USD cash Tanzania visa, travel protection, tips, and personal spending. A practical guide for tipping is roughly $15–25 per day for your safari guide and $5–10 per day for camp and lodge staff, in clean USD bills dated 2009 or newer.

Is the hot air balloon safari worth adding?

If it's in budget, yes — a sunrise float over the Serengeti is the single most requested add-on. It's $688.00 per person, available on both double and single occupancy packages, and is added at the time of reservation.

Do I need travel insurance?

It's strongly recommended and is not included in the package. Deposits are non-refundable and supplier cancellation penalties escalate as departure nears, so insurance protects your investment. We recommend Global Rescue for this itinerary — medical, evacuation and field rescue from remote parks. Buy through our partner link: https://partner.globalrescue.com/floknowlestravel/index.html

What's included in the price?

9 nights of accommodations, meals as listed in the itinerary, a professional safari guide, private 4x4 safari transportation, airport transfers and domestic flights, park fees, taxes and tourism charges, AMREF emergency evacuation coverage, Zanzibar travel insurance, all listed sightseeing and activities, bottled water throughout your safari, and select beer and wine.

International airfare, the hot air balloon safari add-on, visa fees, tips, travel protection, and personal items such as laundry, spa treatments, and souvenirs.

Are meals covered every day?

Meals are included exactly as listed on each day of the itinerary — most safari days are full board, while Zanzibar days include breakfast with some lunches and dinners free for you to explore. Bottled water on safari plus select beer and wine are included.

What if I'm traveling solo?

You're very welcome — it's an adults-only trip (18+). Pricing is based on double or single occupancy, and travelers booking without a roommate are charged the single occupancy rate. Roommate matching is not available for this trip.

Are airport transfers included?

Yes. Airport transfers and the domestic flights within the itinerary are included in the package. You're met on arrival at Kilimanjaro (JRO) for the private transfer to Arusha, and driven to Zanzibar airport (ZNZ) for your departure.

How do we travel between destinations?

The northern circuit is covered overland in a private 4x4 with your guide, with bush flights from Arusha into the Serengeti and from Arusha to Zanzibar, followed by a private road transfer to the resort. See the route map for the full sequence of stops.

What about my international flights?

International airfare is booked separately by you. Flights can be booked starting June 19, 2027 — airlines release international flights 12 months before your travel date. Aim to arrive into Kilimanjaro (JRO) on Day 1 and depart from Zanzibar (ZNZ) on Day 10, and share your flight details so transfers can be timed to your arrival.

Is there a luggage limit for the bush flight?

Yes — plan on a soft duffel of roughly 33 lb (15 kg) for the light aircraft leg. Pack light, and note that laundry is available at most stays.

How do I book and what's due today?

Reserve through the booking link on this page. A per-person deposit is due January 6, 2027 to hold your spot — from $952 for double occupancy up to $1,142.72 for single occupancy with the balloon add-on.

When is the balance due?

Final payment is due May 20, 2028 (30 days before arrival). Your per-person deposit is due January 6, 2027, and once it's paid the balance is broken into monthly payments beginning February 2027 — depending on the package (with the balloon safari added), they run roughly $467–$554 per person per month. You can also pay in full at any time; timely monthly payments are mandatory to keep your reservation in good standing.

Are deposits refundable?

No. All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.

What are the cancellation terms?

All cancellations must be submitted in writing to cancellations@floknowlestravel.com. Supplier penalties on the full package price per person are: 90+ days 20%; 89–60 days 30%; 59–30 days 40%; 29–15 days 70%; 14–0 days 100%. A non-refundable $350 per person agency cancellation fee applies at all tiers.

Do I need a visa and vaccinations?

Most travelers need a Tanzania visa, which can be obtained online in advance or paid in $100 USD cash on arrival. Yellow fever proof may be required depending on your routing, and malaria prophylaxis is commonly recommended — confirm current requirements with a travel clinic closer to departure. Your passport must be valid through November 21, 2028.

How much walking or physical activity is involved?

Moderate. Most wildlife viewing happens from the vehicle, with some uneven ground at camps, Stone Town's cobbled alleys, and optional short walks. Game drive roads can be bumpy, so a bit of stamina helps.

What's the weather like in June?

Warm days and cool mornings on safari — layers are essential for sunrise game drives. Zanzibar is hot and humid with occasional short showers, and the ocean stays swim-warm throughout.

Visa & entry

What you need at the border.

Written for US passport holders flying into Kilimanjaro. If you hold another passport, tell us and we'll confirm your requirements — rules differ by nationality and can change before 2028.

Passport

US passport with at least six months' validity beyond your return — valid through Dec 28, 2028 or later — and a minimum of two blank facing pages for stamps. Damaged or nearly-full passports are refused at the border, so renew by early 2028 if yours is close.

Tanzania visa

US citizens need an ordinary tourist visa, $100 USD, single entry, valid 90 days. Apply online at visa.immigration.go.tz or buy it on arrival at Kilimanjaro. Zanzibar is part of Tanzania — the same visa covers both, no second visa needed.

Yellow fever certificate

Not required if you fly to Tanzania directly from the US or Europe. It is required if you transit or stop in a yellow-fever country (including Kenya, Ethiopia and Rwanda) — carry the original yellow card, not a photocopy.

Onward ticket & funds

Immigration can ask for proof of onward travel and where you're staying. Keep your return e-ticket and the first-night lodge confirmation on your phone plus one printed copy.

Travel insurance

Not checked at the border but required for this trip: comprehensive medical coverage with emergency evacuation from remote parks. We recommend Global Rescue — buy your plan through our partner link below and send us the policy number once purchased.

Get a Global Rescue plan ↗

Zanzibar arrival fee

Zanzibar's mandatory inbound travel insurance is included in your trip price — nothing to buy. The $5 infrastructure fee is paid online before you fly — keep the QR confirmation.

Before you go

Essential travel info & what to pack.

Everything practical in one place — health, weather, connectivity, and dress. Full details are in your downloadable itinerary.

Vaccines & health

No vaccines are legally required for US travelers arriving directly, but yellow fever proof is required if you transit an at-risk country — carry your certificate. CDC recommends being current on routine shots plus hepatitis A and typhoid. Malaria prophylaxis is recommended for the mainland and Zanzibar: see a travel clinic 6–8 weeks before departure.

Weather in June

Safari mornings are crisp — 55–60°F on the crater rim and in the Serengeti at dawn, warming to 75–80°F by midday. Zanzibar runs humid and 82–88°F. Late June is peak dry season: clear skies, dust on the plains, excellent game viewing and cool crater mornings.

SIM & eSIM

Camps and the resort have Wi-Fi, but it is slow and patchy in the parks. Easiest option is an eSIM (Airalo, Holafly or your carrier's Tanzania pass) activated on landing. For a local SIM, Vodacom or Airtel at Kilimanjaro airport costs a few dollars for 10–20GB — bring your passport for registration.

Dress code

Safari days: neutral, breathable layers — khaki, olive, stone; a fleece and scarf for open-vehicle mornings. Camouflage print is illegal for civilians in Tanzania, so leave it home. Stone Town and villages: shoulders and knees covered. Resort evenings are relaxed resort-elegant — one nice outfit for the farewell dinner is plenty.

Money & tipping

Bring clean USD bills dated 2009 or newer for visas, tips, and markets; cards work at lodges but rarely in Stone Town shops. Visa on arrival is $100 for US passports. Budget roughly $15–25 per day for your guide and $5–10 a day for camp staff.

Power & water

Tanzania uses UK-style Type G plugs at 230V — bring a Type G adapter and a power bank, as tented camps run on generators or solar with limited charging hours. Drink bottled water only (provided throughout your safari) and skip ice outside the lodges.

Packing list

Pack light and neutral. Bush flights limit checked bags to roughly 33 lb in a soft duffel, and laundry is available at most stays.
