The Ultimate Guide to Wito Africa’s Safe Safari Travel

The Ultimate Guide to a Safe African Safari in 2020/2021

As the engine of adventures is starting to warm up again, the world is slowly opening up, and allowing our amazing guests to travel again while taking all precautions to protect themselves and our host community in all the destinations they get to explore. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Wito Africa’s priority has been with guests’ health and safety, as well as that of our local partners, our community and our families. By working closely with local authorities and accommodation partners, we have extensively enhanced our promise to promote safe travel and ensure everyone stays safe during their unforgettable safari experiences in Africa. Many of our favourite African safari destinations are now endorsed by the globally renowned World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) for their safe travels standards. We have also implemented all the recommended health and hygiene protocols in all destinations that our guests visit as follows:

Safe Safari Starts with Safe Guides

In addition to the special health and hygiene training that was provided to our team in Africa, we have also implemented a regular temperature check for all staff members to ensure they are healthy prior to hosting our guests. We find that the mandatory monitoring of temperature before/after servicing clients will give us a head start to prevention of the spread (if any). Furthermore, all safari guides will wear masks to protect you and themselves and they will have hand sanitizers handy to keep all surfaces clean at all times.

Face Masks and Sanitized Vehicles is the Way to Go

From the very first moment, we meet and greet you in person at the arrival point of entry, during your safe unforgettable safari with us, to the time we wave you goodbye at the departure point; all safari guides will wear masks to protect you and themselves and they will have hand sanitizers handy to keep all surfaces clean at all times. Prior to your safari departure, Wito Africa will provide every guest with a complimentary face mask which is 100% reusable and washable!

A Selective Bubble of Safe Partners Make a HUGE Impact on Your Safety!

One of the biggest lessons we quickly learned from the pandemic is that we need to keep each other healthy by forming “a safe bubble” , it is through this idea that we have gone ahead and carefully selected a small group of best accommodation partners who share the same commitment to keeping everyone safe during travels. Collectively, we will continue to ensure that the health of our guests, local community and staff is a top priority.

Have Questions? We have the answers.

Your total cost will vary depending on seasonality, size of group and specific travel arrangements, but this is a good guideline for an all-inclusive safari (everything except international flights): $499 USD per person per day for 3-star accommodation $699 USD pp per day for 4-star $999+ USD pp per day for 5-star It’s worth noting that, depending on your itinerary, your lodge cost will make up about 75–85% of your total safari trip cost.

Just for you, we have hunted out the very best lodges, villas, camps and even treehouses in Tanzania to suit every budget, itinerary and personal preference. Trust us – you’re going to be spoilt for choice! An awe-inspiring setting is just the beginning… Every one of our recommended accommodation options will blow you away with personal service, attention to detail and various levels of luxury.

When it comes to the Serengeti, there is no such thing! Every day promises its own, unique delights. Your guide will be in constant communication with other guides in the area to find out what the herds are up to, and you will have a chat each evening to make a plan for the following day. Sometimes, the herds will be just around the camp or within a half hour’s drive, and at other times you may need to pack a picnic breakfast and/or lunch in order travel further afield. These days out, exploring all that the Serengeti has to offer, are never predictable but always an adventure. We recommend that you set aside a minimum of four nights to spend in the Serengeti so that you really can make the most of this remarkable part of the world.

The classic time to visit Tanzania is during the main dry season, from June to October, when good weather conditions can be expected across the country and wildlife viewing should be spectacular. Another major highlight is the migration calving season in Serengeti (December – March), which coincides with good trekking conditions on Kilimanjaro and fair weather down on the coast, too.

Read what our clients have to say about their recent dream African safari with us ...

When my friend and I booked our flights to Africa, we were sure we were going to plan the whole trip ourselves. Turns out that was a very overwhelming thing to even begin! So happy to have connected with Wito Africa Safaris, because not only did we get to do everything we set out to, we got so much more! A trip tailored to our wants and must dos, without any of the stress that comes with planning and not knowing what or who to book with and transfers to and from airports that we had never been to. It was the most amazing experience and not having to worry about the details made it that much more incredible. The most magical part of our trip was by far the Ngorongoro crater and the Serengeti. Words can’t describe how amazing it is! We also went to Zanzibar for the beach, Cape Town for the mountains (and wine!), Botswana for more animals and Zimbabwe for Victoria falls. If you’re considering booking a trip to Africa, don’t think, just do it! And planning with Wito Africa Safaris will make it a thousand times more relaxed and enjoyable:)

This trip has left me speechless. Tanzania will take your breath away the Serengeti is an absolutely magical place and the ngorongoro crater is an absolutely must!!. Abdullie planned a dream trip for us. Every detail was perfection and tailored exactly to the type of trip we wanted to have. The accommodations were beyond expectations. The communication with this company is top notch, Abdullie was readily available for any and all questions prior and during the trip. I would very highly recommend booking your trip to Tanzania with Wito!!!

Amazing experience! Abdullie from Wito Safaris organized the perfect trip for us and while doing so, stayed in close contact with us to listen to our wishes and explain the possibilities. We explicitly chose an Tanzanian organization and we were very happy with the outcome. All the lodges were excellent quality with very nice staff. Our guide was the best. We stayed together for 6 days, so you better get along! And we certainly did. He had great knowledge of the wildlife and their ecosystem, which really enhanced our enjoyment. We had a chance to see all the animals, from the big 5 to the small beautiful birds. And everything went smoothly, we had no worries whatsoever. Perfectly organized trip and truly a trip of a lifetime.

Our experience with Wito Africa Safaris could not have been more pleasant from the initial communication through the completion of the safari in Ngorongoro. Our driver was courteous, fun and most informative of the surrounding area, the history of the park, and of every species we saw inside the park and even on the fringe. The vehicle was comfortable and accommodated our group well; the lunch was delicious and even special dietary needs were met. All prearranged details were executed precisely. I would highly recommend Wito Africa Safaris.

We had an amazing experience climbing Kilimanjaro followed by a few days safari. For both elements of our trip the guides were knowledgeable and fun, and everything went smoothly and seamlessly.

Made it to Uhuru! Abdullie was phenomenal to work with before my trip. And the pairing of Wito and Pristine was incredible. Couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you.

Spectacular experience tailored to our requests, went above and beyond in every way.

Booking with Wito Africa Safaris was the best decision I could have made. I enjoyed a first-class quality experience, and everything surpassed my expectations. I booked a safari to follow the world’s greatest migration—the Wildebeest Migration. Not only did I get a close up of the most dangerous and spectacular animals in Africa (I was so close to lions and elephants that I could touch them!), but I also spent time with the Maasai Tribe, Hadzabe Tribe, and the Datoga Tribe. I went hunting and dancing with the Hadzabe, I learned the ways of the Maasai, danced with them and even got the chance to learn their fighting style and practice with the village warriors. The Datoga Tribe thought me the ancient African ways of living and gave me the opportunity to cook, clean, and forge weapons with them. My accommodations were not only luxurious but very authentic. The luxury did not take away from the thrill and aw of being in the wild, gazing at the shooting stars, hearing, and seeing the Serengeti nightlife action. I especially recommend Wito Africa Safaris for their professionalism and care towards their clients. You can rely on this team and they will go beyond their way to threat you like royalty. One evening I felt sick and I called Abdullie the CEO of the company to ask if I could possibly get some medicine and a unique dinner in order to help me feel better. He immediately contacted the lodge, the guide and his team in Tanzania to help. I didn’t even wait 5 minutes, and I had all the attention and service I could ask for. My needs were taken care of quickly, and there were follow-ups made over the phone and in person to ensure that I was ok. If you want the best possible experience in Africa, go with Wito Africa Safaris.
