What if I want a custom safari?
The
Anenture Afrique team would be delighted to work with you to help you
and your family, friends or organization build the best possible
safari to match your interests and budget. We can organize custom
safaris for professional photographers, honeymoon couples
and families.
Can I take my children on safari?
YES! Anenture
Afrique has a personal understanding and deep
commitment to meeting the special needs of families. Our trips
are well suited for children. We have designed our unique family
safari programs to allow you and your children to experience the
wonders of Africa together. Please outline your particular
family’s interests, so that we can incorporate them. You and your
family will have a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding
of cultural diversity, discover the many miracles of nature, and
at the same time play, laugh, and enjoy the pleasure of one
another.
Will I stay in tents or lodges?
Our safaris offer a wide array of safari styles to suit your
interests and budget. Please scroll the website for a description
of the different types of accommodation available.
What is the average size of a
safari group?
Small. Our scheduled safaris vary in size depending on the nature
of the safari. In general, we keep our groups small (minimum 1 to
5 people, and occasionally up to an absolute maximum of 15). We
feel strongly that the small size allows a more intimate
connection with the African wilderness.
What clothes should
I bring on safari?
Pack lightweight, washable clothes,
plus a sweater for early morning game drives; a sunhat, sunglasses
and sunscreen are strongly advisable as well. Long sleeves and
trousers in light-colored fabrics help discourage insect bites.
Modest length shorts for women are perfectly acceptable, but women
should carry a wrap to cover their legs in rural villages and
towns, since clothes that are too revealing can cause offence
especially in Zanzibar and in Muslim dominated areas. On the
beach and within the confines of beach hotels, normal swimwear
(but not nudity) is acceptable.
Safari dress is basically comfortable
and casual - layers are recommended. Keep it simple and bring
things you don't mind getting dusty. We have included several web
links to guide you in your preparation.
What food can I expect on safari?
You will be pleasantly surprised by both the quality and the
variety of the food available on safari. In most lodges, meals are
served buffet-style, so you can choose what you like. The food is
generally prepared according to western tastes, with some curries
and local cuisine included. If you choose a camping safari, fresh
meat and produce is prepared to the highest sanitary standards by
our team’s expert chefs. Indeed, most returning guests rave about
our camp food! Request for local food is certainly welcome. Your
guide and chef will generally purchase all the food before the
safari starts, so get your orders in on time!
Can special dietary requirements
be accommodated?
Special dietary requirements such as vegetarian or diabetic meals
can easily be arranged with advance notice. If you are vegetarian
or vegan you may wish to bring along some alternative protein
sources. If you have multiple food allergies, you will definitely
want to bring along supplemental snacks. It is important we know
of any possible dietary restrictions as soon as possible.
Is it OK to drink the tap water?
We provide two liters of bottled water per day for each
client, and you can purchase more bottled water at all the lodges
and camps or before the Safari. Overall, we recommend you consume
only bottled water.
What vaccinations should I have?
For medical Travel tip it is always best to consult your
doctor or travel clinic well in advance of your departure. The
minimum requirements for entry into Tanzania are proof of a yellow
fever vaccination and an anti-malarial medication. Bear in mind
that you will be staying in camps and lodges oriented to meet the
needs of North American and European guests.
What if the safari
jeep breaks en route?
Anenture Afrique is responsible
for sending a rescue vehicle(s) within 4 to 5 hours (depending on
your location) upon receiving notification of a vehicle breakdown.
The vehicle shall be replaced and compensation awarded by way of
additional time allotment (extra half day or full day), or a
refund of up to 30% of a full day tour deducted from the total
daily tour cost.
If necessary, an emergency evacuation
can be arranged by “flying doctors” (included in the trip package,
on your request), or a simple transfer to nearby Hotel or lodge
for accommodation and catering services. |
