The complexity of the current wholesaling industry and the economic difficulties encountered in countries like Kenya and Tanzania with the Government's continuous increase of taxes and fees, have made a trip to these destinations very expensive.
As to visas and entry fees to the National Parks, unfortunately there is nothing we can do, but internet has allowed us to dispose of intermediation services and offer our safari tours directly to clients at a more competitive price.
The are many reasons behind our low prices:
- For all
International and internal flights we ask clients to pay the flight company or the Tour Operator (in case of Charter flights) directly.
On our part we shall do our very best to assist you in finding the cheapest and shortest route and suggesting carriers guaranteeing flight cancellation compensation.
This way there will be
no fees or surcharges on the cost of the ticket.
- When possible, we often make use of our own
private properties both in Kenya and Tanzania:
during stays at the sea, for those who prefer to avoid the crowded atmosphere of International hotels or who travel on a limited budget, we offer a room with private bathroom and cook at your disposal in our
villa in Watamu, right next to one of Kenya’s most beautiful beaches. The cost of 120 euro per person per week (classic) or 180 euro p.p. per week (superior) hardly covers our expenses but we consider these rooms as a mere accessory to our safari.
Guests are made to feel at home and are constantly attended to by our hospitable and professional local staff always there to satisfy your needs and help you with anything that you may require. Food can be bought at a low price at the Mama Lucy's supermarket and at local shops in the nearby village, or, if you are uncertain on what you would like to eat, why not ask one of our staff to accompany you and offer a few suggestions? Fish, lobsters, crabs and other seafood are freshly cought each day (except on fridays) and can be easily found at incredibly low prices. You can indulge in a wonderful fish dinner, stick to your favourite home recipes or try a typical homemade swahili dinner.
For those, instead, who have other preferences, it will be our commitment to find a suitable
hotel, take care of the booking and ask our guests simply to pay the hotel directly avoiding any form of intermediation and possible surcharges.
- Finally, as regards to the safari themselves, the competitiveness of our prices is due to the fact that, by selling directly to our clients,
we do not incur in any intermediation costs and can, therefore, afford to offer safari holidays at a lower price.
Furthermore, once again we make use of
our own vehicles and private properties. Migungani Lodge, in Tanzania, boasts an unbeatable position, right in the centre of the Country's most beautiful and world renowned National Parks: a small and friendly colonial property surrounded by a park with acacia trees, its position allows customers to spend most nights at the lodge, avoiding expensive lodges and strenuous packing and unpacking each day.
Both in Kenya and in Tanzania we collaborate with
professional and expert english-speaking local guides who will accompany you during your trip ensuring, with their knowledge and experience, that your safari is a rewarding adventure.
We do not ask for deposits: guests shall pay the entire amount on arrival before leaving on the safari thus avoiding any possible hindrances.
The safari trip shall be considered officially booked as soon as we receive notice from our customers of flight confirmation.
In case of cancellation you are not required to pay any fee but we kindly ask you to let us know at least a week prior to departure.
Thirty years in the safari travel industry have allowed us to offer these favorable conditions and establish a relationship with our clientele based on honesty and reciprocal correctness.
Our company organization encourages a direct contact between service providers and clients guaranteeing what undoubtably can be considered...
...the best relationship between quality and price in Eastern Africa
