Reservations during the COVID-19 Pandemic
To accommodate the ongoing pandemic, we have adjusted our deposit requirements:

Insurance & Liability
Northern Circuit Adventure is insured for legal liabilities related to injuries sustained in our vehicles, under the jurisdiction of Tanzanian, Kenyan, Ugandan, and Ethiopian courts. We strongly recommend securing comprehensive personal insurance to cover potential risks during your trip.
Safety
Wild animal encounters are minimal on safari, as most animals avoid human contact unless provoked. Always follow your guide’s instructions for safety. Interestingly, the most dangerous animal in Tanzania is the mosquito—be sure to protect yourself accordingly.
Cuisine
Tanzania offers a variety of international dishes, as well as local specialties like fresh seafood, spiced tea, and Halua, a delicious almond-based dessert. On the coast, enjoy flavorful biryanis and curries. Only consume bottled or boiled water.
