Our Policy
Klub Afriko is a small
company and we plan to keep it that way. We feel that the best way to serve our clients
is on an individual basis. Everyone comes to Tanzania for different reasons and we
want to do our best to please everyone in the group. That means we personalize each
safari. We DO NOT have pre-packaged safaris with set dates. We DO
NOT lump strangers together into a mini-van and hope they all get along. We DO
NOT travel in caravans of vehicles, all arguing where and when to go. We DO
NOT dictate your daily program just to suit us. Instead, each client or
group of clients that contact us is treated as an individual group. If you
are a party of 2, then you two have the vehicle to yourselves. We work with our clients to develop an itinerary
that suits THEIR needs and interests. You decide when to come to Tanzania
and we will help you create a program around your dates. We will suggest venues based on your
interests and accommodation preferences. Once you have agreed on your program, the daily
activities are up to you: when to go for game drives, how long to sit and observe
elephants or lions, where to go for specific wildlife, how fast or how slow to hike, etc. This personalized safari is YOURS for the making
let us know
how we can help you!
Whether you choose Klub Afriko
or not, make sure your tour operator or safari company is licensed by the
Tanzanian Tour Operators Association (See the TTO Web site). We have been licensed for over 10 years.
Also, you can find a reference to Klub Afriko in the 1997
"Lonely Planet" Guide to East Africa. We have revived our safari projects since
its publication, but it offers a solid recommendation for the justifiably wary traveler.
Our Programs
We offer a wide range of tours, safaris,
hiking expeditions and cultural activities. We attract many tourists who are interested in
something "off the beaten track" or a more intense cultural experience. You can
choose from wildlife viewing (photographic safari) in the Northern
Parks, mountain climbing on our Hiking Expeditions,
walking through unique ecosystems on an Educational Walking
Safari, take a trip into the bush with the Maasai on the Ngorongoro
Crater Highlands Hike, hike through the tropical rain forests on an Educational Safari in the Eastern Arc Mountains, relax on
the glorious beaches of Zanzibar, or take advantage of
unique Cultural and Language Opportunities.
The best time to visit
the National Parks in Tanzania is between the months of May and November. The short rains
come in December-January and the long rains hit again around March till May. It is NOT a
predictable pattern, and East Africa has seen some crazy weather in the last few years;
droughts followed by floods, for example. We cannot promise it will not rain, but as we
begin our dialogue, we will tell you how the weather patterns are panning out at that
time. For Kilimanjaro, the best time to climb is June-August when it is likely to be
dry... but it will be cold! Zanzibar is hot ALL year round, but it is less so during the
months of June-September. Just remember - the Indian Ocean is there to cool you off!
