The itineraries are well planned with a guaranteed departure on your requested date.
Accommodations can be adjusted to a degree for certain nights. Overall, group joining safaris are generally more economical than private ones.
At Zamunda Tours, we provide private safaris year-round, while group joining safaris are offered on specific dates from June to October and December to February in Tanzania.
