You will need spending money to cover drinks, lunch and souvenirs and different small incidental costs whilst on tour such as cheap excursions costing under U$20 Other costs to note are those times we dont cover meals or accommodation on the tour, as well as tipping, extra transfers and upgrades. Be aware during the trip tour there are busy times where we dont cover meals and/or accommodation as during these sections most people are away from camp doing their own thing on different excursions. It is then impractical to cover meals or accommodation. The times to note on the Kenya and Tanzania tour are when the truck parks up for a few days at Zanzibar so please ensure you have enough money to cover meals during these times. And note as well spending money is needed to cover camping on the off-chance you chose to stay back on the overnight excursions. The overnight excursions on this tour are the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater safari (x2 nights) and the Zanzibar Island break (x4 nights). Tipping is customary in Africa, so budget for gratuities if you wish for guides or drivers who provide good service such as on game drives or guided tours. Again it is at your discretion, but your tour leader and driver will appreciate a tip to acknowledge their hard work during your tour. The recommended spending money for the Kenya and Tanzania trip is: US$500 - US$600

Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6-9 months after your trip finishes. Ensure also that you have adequate pages in your passport for each country that you visit. As a guide then, for the Kenya and Tanzania Safari you will want to have a minimum of 4 blank pages (sides).

If you have dual nationality you can only use one passport for the entire trip, but bringing both passports is a wise back-up strategy. You can find more information in the different country listings on the FCOs website (www.fco.gov.uk) under entry requirements. Do be aware it can be illegal to travel in Africa on two passports.

For this tour, most passport holders will need to apply for an eTA to Kenya online prior to arrival.

For most passport holders the visa for Tanzania can be bought at the border en route. Visas on the ground can only be paid for in US Dollars cash.

Below is an estimation of current visa requirements and their cost. Please note this information refers to British, Australian, New Zealand, Irish, South African, German, French, Dutch, Canadian and American passport holders. If your passport is not detailed please do not hesitate to contact the office if you would like further details of your visa requirements.

Be aware that visa requirements can change without prior notice. This information is given as a guide.
