When is the best time to go on a balloon safari in the Serengeti?

During this time, the weather tends to be clearer, significantly reducing the likelihood of flight cancellations caused by adverse weather conditions.

Is it safe to go on a balloon safari in the Serengeti?

What is the tipping etiquette for safari guides and mountain crews on trips like this?

Tipping is greatly appreciated at the conclusion of your safari or mountain climb. The amount you choose to tip can vary based on the duration and difficulty of the trip, as well as the number of staff and clients involved. It’s common for groups to gather before the trek ends to discuss how much to tip each staff member, reflecting on their personal experiences during the journey. After your trek, it’s a good idea to prepare an envelope for your tip at the hotel. You can use US dollars, Euros, TZ Shillings, or a mix of these currencies. If you need guidance, feel free to ask the Safari or Climbing coordinator at the hotel.

RECOMMENDED TIP:

Mountain Climbing: Expect to pay between $25 and $50 USD daily for each climber, which will be divided among the guides, chefs, and porters.

Safaris: The cost for a driver or guide is typically $35 to $50 USD per day per vehicle. For camping safaris, an additional tip of $10 USD per day for the cook is appreciated.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE GENERAL GUIDELINES, AND you can offer tips to the safari staff or mountain crew based on the quality of service you receive.
