Questions about Safari Types
Can I ask questions before booking?
Yes. Use the planning form, WhatsApp or email to discuss your plans before making a booking decision.
Can Offmap Safaris create a tailor-made itinerary?
Yes. Safari itineraries can be shaped around your interests, pace, travel style, dates and preferred level of accommodation.
Can you arrange a family safari with children?
Yes. Certain parks, lodges and experiences suit families with children better than others (age limits apply to gorilla trekking, for example), and we can shape an itinerary with that in mind.
Can you arrange a safari for a solo traveller?
Yes, we regularly plan safaris for solo travellers, either as a private itinerary or joining scheduled small-group departures where available.
Do your prices include international flights?
Safari pricing covers the itinerary itself (accommodation, park fees, permits where applicable, guiding and ground transport as specified) while international flights to and from East Africa are arranged separately by the traveller unless otherwise agreed.
How do I know which safari is right for me?
Compare destinations, duration, travel style and experiences, or contact us and we will help match your priorities with an itinerary.
