Consider using an agent who specialises in Africa to book your trip.

Although we are happy to make your travel arrangements within Tanzania, making all your flights and arrangements can be a very complex business and we recommend that you consider using a knowledgeable agent in your own country. Note that booking with a good overseas tour operator should be no more expensive than booking directly with us, and may even be cheaper.

Choose a specialist African travel agent or tour operator who can spend the time on the phone (or in person) discussing and debating all the issues and options that will make your safari a great and memorable experience. There are a number of superb Africa specialist travel agencies and tour operators who love Africa and really know about it from personal experience. These operators always come to visit our camps and hotel to see for themselves what they are recommending to their clients before they send a single guest.

What to look for:

Listen out for word of mouth recommendations, they are usually remarkably reliable. The good Africa experts are well known by their satisfied customers. Check for adverts in wildlife newspapers or magazines. Find out how long they have been in business in Africa
If they don't know what they are talking about, withdraw politely. There are local agents and safari companies in Tanzania and Internet searches will give you a lot of information from them and from the International Agents.
