There is no doubt that the world has changed as a result of Covid-19. Its impact has been far-reaching and it is difficult to find anyone who has not been affected in some way. For Tanzania, the hardest hit area has been tourism. At Wipa Tours and Safaris, we continue to take every possible measure to help support our clients, staff and their families.
The Government of Tanzania continues to implement measures towards controlling Covid-19. Many people in the world have been vaccinated but at the same time, there are new variants of the virus still emerging.
The best option is for you to postpone your trip. Clients can postpone their travel plans without any penalties providing travel is within 24 months of the Safari start date. You will need to inform us of this in writing, via email. Any deposit made may be used for the amended /postponed booking. The final cost of the amended booking may reflect any changes in rates e.g. accommodation, park permits etc. that are applicable on the new dates. If you are unable to re-book within 24 months, or have any further questions about current or future bookings, please do get in touch with one of our Tour Consultants who will be happy to help you
Unfortunately, we are not able to refund your deposit, as stated at the time of booking. The deposit is used to secure accommodation and goes towards on-going operational costs. The majority of accommodations are not able to accept cancellations, only postponements. We sincerely hope that you don’t cancel, but fully understand that postponement may not be an option. If this is the case and you have insurance, your losses may well be covered. We are happy to provide any information needed by the insurance company. We are able to keep your deposit as a credit note for future bookings, as detailed above.
Like many other countries in the world, it is difficult to know the exact numbers of Covid-19 in Tanzania. Testing is not widely available for Tanzanians and the Government has been inconsistent in its reporting.
The most recent Travel Advisory from the Tanzanian Government was released on 24th December 2021 and important information is reflected here:
You can come on safari any time.
For many of our clients, you will be rescheduling a safari that had already been booked. We offered to do this free of charge; using the deposit towards your new booking. It is important to note that whilst every effort will be made to replicate your itinerary and accommodations, it is possible that some places may not have availability on your chosen travel dates, or may not have re-opened after the pandemic. If this is the case, we will book you accommodation of a similar standard and location. We will, of course, consult with you every step of the way if there need to be any changes
Yes (please see information above)
This is normally required. Please check to see if the airline you are travelling with, or the country you are returning to, requires it. We strongly advise contacting the relevant authorities before you travel. It is possible to get a Covid-19 PCR test in Arusha, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Karatu, Ngorongoro & Serengeti. It takes approximately 24-48 hours to get your result and costs are approximately U$D 50-100 per person, depending on where you get tested. If your home country or airline requires you to have a Covid-19 test, please tell your Tour Consultant and s/he will advise you on the best way to plan this into your itinerary. Some countries now require Rapid Tests which can be done at the International Airports, but you will need to arrive 4 hours before your scheduled departure time.
If you need to isolate for any period of time, we will help you to find a suitable hotel which is within your budget and will manage all communication with the hotel staff. If you receive a positive RT-PCR test whilst in Tanzania, the official time needed before you can re-test is 7 days from the date you receive your test results. Some airlines / destination countries are now accepting negative Rapid Antigen Test Certificates for boarding / entry. If this applies to you (please check carefully), you may be able to leave as soon as you get a negative Rapid Test result.

Incredible Kilimanjaro Experience – Thanks to an Amazing Team! I had an absolutely excellent trip to Kilimanjaro! The climb was much easier and more enjoyable than I expected, thanks to the outstanding support and organization from the whole team. A big thank you to Benson and Richard for making everything run smoothly from start to finish. And a very special thanks to my guide Alex – his knowledge, patience, and encouragement made all the difference. He kept me motivated and safe all the way to the summit. The entire crew worked hard behind the scenes, and I truly appreciate every single person who contributed to this unforgettable journey. Kilimanjaro is an incredible adventure, and with a team like this, it becomes even more special. Highly recommended to anyone dreaming of standing on the Roof of Africa!Posted on Tripadvisor

Manna SWhat a wonderful experience What a wonderful experience with this wonderful professional team; they did a really great job taking us on the Ngorongoro Safari. We saw all five of the big five thanks to this experience company. What a well-planned trip! Serena Lodge Serengeti and Serena Lodge Ngorongoro were excellent; the cars are very good quality and well maintained, which matters on some roads, and safety always comes first. The guides are very professional and knowledgeable, but they are also very friendly and humorous, so we would learn a lot while having a great time together. They are incredibly knowledgeable about the behaviors of birds and mammals. Thank you very much.Posted on Tripadvisor
