Accommodation

is based on twin bed rooms or tents with private bathrooms where possible. Single rooms may be available with the payment of a supplement fee but cannot always be guaranteed. Some facilities have double beds available upon request.

Kagera Safaris reserves the right to substitute equivalent or superior hotels. If a hotel of equivalent standard is not available Kagera Safaris may substitute the next best quality hotel or suggest a superior at an extra charge.

Transportation & flights

The mode of transport utilized will be dependent on the number of clients and the route taken based on the specifications of the chosen itinerary. Every effort is made to ensure that vehicles are provided in a roadworthy condition but no liability can be accepted for a puncture, breakdown, damage, or any delay as a result of the poor road conditions.   On most our safaris we use 4WD minibuses (up to eight passengers) with pop-up tops and seven window seats for game viewing. We also use 4WD land cruisers. Groups of twelve or more people who would like to travel in one vehicle are offered 25-28 seat coasters that have about 16 window seats.   Experienced English speaking driver/guides are provided; who will be the only persons allowed to drive the vehicles of Kagera Safaris. The driver’s decision on all matters, such as the route taken, is final. Kagera Safaris reserves the right to alter any route or arrangement, to cancel the operation of any scheduled tour or vary the safari services in any way in the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as road closures, bad weather, problems with national parks or hotels and security considerations. In such cases alternative arrangements will be made as circumstances permit.
Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance alongside your travel package to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other contingencies. It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
Visa requirements
Visa requirements vary depending on your country of origin and your country of destination. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the relevant requirements. For a handy tool that can help you quickly find the requirements, please visit this link .
