No — often you actually get more value for your budget because everything is custom-made. Moreover, you can make choices that better suit your wishes, ensuring you don’t spend money on elements you consider less important.

Within 48 hours. In most cases, you will even receive a first draft sooner, depending on the complexity of your request. This allows you to quickly proceed with planning your trip.

No, everything is completely without obligation. You are not committed to anything and can review the proposal at your leisure before making a decision. Only when you agree will further steps be taken.

There is no minimum age, but we recommend slowing down the pace of your safari somewhat when traveling with children and choosing less intensive activities during long days. All LAZY LION safaris can be adapted to any age group. Some lodges have a minimum age of 6 due to the proximity of wildlife, but this certainly does not apply everywhere.

Please feel free to contact us to discuss which safari is most suitable for your family.

A few months before the safari departure, you will receive a digital document containing a complete practical guide and checklist. However, suffice it to say that your clothing should be comfortable and casual. Khaki, olive green, brown, and light brown clothing increase your chances of seeing wildlife and offer the added benefit that if you get dirty, it will be less noticeable. Since laundry services will occasionally be available at places we visit, you should avoid the temptation to pack and unpack too much. Also, do not forget that a baggage limit applies more or less during a safari.
In summary: casual, comfortable clothing is encouraged.

High-quality medical facilities are available in every major city, such as Arusha, Nairobi or Dar es Salaam. The founders of LAZY LION SAFARIS live, work, and reside in East Africa themselves and have an extensive network of local contacts, enabling them to provide you with the best recommendations.

In more remote locations in East Africa, you can rely on the services of the Flying Doctors, a group of highly qualified doctors who travel through the bush by plane to provide initial medical treatment and transport. This insurance is included in the price of every safari, allowing this organization to provide immediate medical assistance and air transport in the highly unlikely event of an emergency.

During the safari, almost everything is included with LAZY LION. This includes transfers, all meals, free bottled water, tea, coffee, and even some soft drinks. In more luxurious lodges, beer, wine, and local spirits are also included in the price.

Generally, the costs you need to account for yourself include the international flight, passports, and visa fees. Furthermore, there are vaccinations and personal expenses such as phone calls, extra (alcoholic?) drinks, souvenirs, tips, and optional travel insurance.

Absolutely. As our valued guests, we are happy to welcome you personally to our home country of Tanzania. Or in our neighboring countries, one of our regular local staff members will do so. As soon as you have cleared customs at the arrival airport, a LAZY LION SAFARIS staff member will be ready to greet you and take you quickly to the hotel.

For personal service and exclusive packages, we always offer private safaris. Every safari is carefully designed to avoid the feeling of impersonal large groups.

Whether you are traveling alone, with family, or with friends, we tailor the program to your dates and aim to give you the time of your life. In principle, this is therefore also possible as an individual solo traveler.

In summary: whichever safari you choose, you are assured of a comfortable vehicle and excellent views to experience unforgettable moments in the bush.

Although Wi-Fi is not available in all camps, it is available almost everywhere in Tanzania and Kenya—nearly 99%—and is free of charge.

Most smartphones can be used internationally, but guests should be aware of high data roaming charges while traveling.

While modern phones generally work well in urban areas such as Nairobi, Arusha or Karatu, they may not always be able to connect in remote regions such as the Serengeti.

It is remarkable that even in many remote areas of the bush of East Africa good reception can be had.

Sometimes a domestic flight can be a huge time saver, and LAZY LION SAFARIS naturally arranges these flights as well. The size of the aircraft can vary depending on the number of passengers traveling from a specific location.

Even within national parks can be flown. The pilots of these small planes have often spent their lives in the bush. Some even learned to fly before they could drive a car! They are highly qualified and often serve as sources of information about what can be seen from the air.

For domestic flights from, say, Arusha or Nairobi toward the Indian Ocean, “larger” aircraft are used.
