Overview

On arrival

Meeting Point:
Our team will coordinate a specific meeting point depending on your arrival time, location, and activity package, ensuring a seamless transfer to your adventure. Look for a representative with a clear sign displaying your booking name.

For Zanzibar & Pemba Islands:

Zanzibar Airport (ZNZ):
Upon arrival at Zanzibar International Airport, guests can take a taxi or pre-arranged transfer to Stone Town, which is about 10-15 minutes away. From Stone Town, we will provide instructions or a meeting point for the activity.
If you’re heading to Pemba Island, a short flight (about 30 minutes) from Zanzibar can take you to Pemba’s main airport, Pemba Airport (PMA). From there, taxis or transfers will take you to your designated meeting point or accommodation.

By Boat (for Pemba excursions):
Ferries to Pemba depart from Zanzibar’s port, with an approximate 2-3 hour journey. Our local representatives will be there to meet you upon arrival at Pemba’s port.
For Safari in Tanzania:

Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire:
Customers will be picked up from Arusha Airport (ARK) or Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). Transfers to safari parks are arranged via vehicle or small aircraft, depending on the tour package. A professional guide will be waiting at the airport to assist you.

Things to note

Travel Documents:
Ensure you have a valid passport and any necessary visas for entry into Zanzibar, Pemba, and Tanzania. Some countries may require a visa on arrival, while others may need to arrange one in advance.

Health Precautions:
We recommend checking with your healthcare provider for any vaccinations before travel, such as Yellow Fever, Malaria prevention, and Typhoid, especially if visiting rural or forest areas.

Currency:
The local currency is Tanzanian Shilling (TZS), though US dollars are widely accepted in tourist areas. It’s advisable to carry some local currency for small purchases. Credit cards are accepted in most hotels and restaurants.

Packing Tips:

Lightweight clothing suitable for warm weather is recommended, along with a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses.
For safaris, pack sturdy, comfortable footwear, binoculars, and a camera. A light jacket is recommended for early mornings and evenings.
If diving or snorkeling, bring a swimsuit and towel. We also provide necessary gear, but personal equipment is always welcome.
Electricity:
Zanzibar, Pemba, and mainland Tanzania use a 230V supply with a three-pronged plug (type G). Please bring an adapter if needed.

Local Culture:
Zanzibar and Pemba are culturally rich, predominantly Muslim regions. Dress modestly when visiting local villages or religious sites. Respectful behavior is always appreciated.

Wildlife and Safety:
While on safari, always follow your guide’s instructions and stay within designated areas for your safety. Never approach or disturb the wildlife.

Mobile Network & Wi-Fi:
Mobile coverage is good in urban areas but may be limited in more remote locations. Wi-Fi is available at most hotels and lodges, but we recommend checking with your accommodation for the availability of high-speed internet.

Zanzibar and Pemba enjoy a tropical climate with dry and rainy seasons. It’s important to be prepared for occasional rain, especially from March to May.
