Frequently asked questions
Anything else? Message us and you will hear back from the team in Arusha.
01Is the vehicle private?
Yes. On every trip the vehicle and guide are yours alone.
02When is the best time to go?
The dry season (June–October) offers the best general game viewing, while the dramatic river crossings of the Great Migration typically peak from July to September. We'll tailor timing to what you most want to see.
03How do I pay?
A 40% deposit by bank transfer to Viaggio Horizon Limited confirms your dates. The remaining 60% is paid in cash on arrival in Tanzania, before your safari begins.
04Is it safe to pay a Tanzanian safari company directly?
Yes, once you have verified the company and you are paying into an account in the registered company's name, against a proper invoice and written terms.
05How many parks should I visit on my first safari?
Two or three is usually right. Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti make a strong first combination.
