FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Once you send in the quote form, I personally take a look at everything you’ve shared—your travel dates, group size, budget, the kind of safari you want, and any little details that help me understand what you're dreaming of. This helps me match you with the right local safari companies.

Then, I’ll connect you with one to three trusted tour operators who I believe are the best fit for you. These aren’t just random companies—I’ve worked with them for years and only recommend operators I know are reliable, friendly, and passionate about what they do.

You’ll get an email from me confirming which operators will be in touch with you. So you’re never left wondering or waiting around—I keep things organized and stress-free.

From there, the operators will send you their safari proposals, usually within 24 to 48 hours. Each one will be tailored just for you, based on the information you gave me.

Usually, you’ll start receiving your safari quotes within 24 to 48 hours after sending your form. I ask the operators to take a little time to build something truly personal for you—not a cookie-cutter itinerary.

Some quotes come in sooner than others depending on how complex your request is, or how busy the operators are. But don’t worry—I’ll keep you in the loop and follow up if needed.

When the quotes arrive, they’ll include everything you need to know—dates, parks, accommodations, activities, and prices. It’s all presented clearly so you can easily compare them.

If you ever feel confused by the proposals or need help understanding the differences, I’m always happy to go through them with you.

Absolutely! The proposals you receive are just starting points. Everything can be changed—whether it’s adding more days, choosing different lodges, or including activities like a hot air balloon safari.

Once you’ve reviewed the quote, you can let the operator know what you’d like to adjust. They’re very flexible and used to creating tailor-made safaris to match each traveler’s wishes.

And if you’re not sure what to change or what to include, I’m always here to offer suggestions. I can help you fine-tune the trip so it fits your style, pace, and budget.

The final plan should feel perfect for you. It’s your safari, and my job is to help you build the version that excites you the most.

You’ll book your safari directly with the local tour operator you choose. I simply introduce you and help along the way—I don’t take any payments or act as a travel agent.

Booking direct means you’ll get the best local price and can communicate easily with the people organizing your safari. There are no middlemen, no extra fees—just honest, direct service.

Even though I step back at the payment stage, I don’t disappear. I’m still here to support you if you have questions, want to double-check something, or need advice on travel plans.

So, you get the personalized care of a small business (me!) with the professional planning of experienced safari operators. It’s a great combo.

Not at all—there are no extra costs when you use my service. I have clear agreements with all the operators I recommend, and they promise to give you their best local price.

That means the price you get through me is the same (and sometimes even better) than what you'd get by contacting them directly. You’re not paying a penny more for my help.

In fact, many of my travelers say I helped them save money by avoiding overpriced quotes or helping them understand what’s really worth including.

So you’re getting extra support, guidance, and peace of mind—all at no extra cost. Just honest help from someone who’s been in your shoes.

I’ve spent years testing and comparing safari companies so I can confidently recommend the best ones. It started with lots of research—looking at reviews, prices, communication, safety, and overall service.

Then I personally went on safaris with many of them to see how they perform in real life—not just on paper. Some were wonderful, some were okay, and a few were disappointing. I kept only the best.

Even now, I continue checking up on them. I read new reviews, collect feedback from every guest, and speak directly with the owners. If something slips—even slightly—I take action fast.

I’m very protective of the people I help. If I wouldn’t send my own family on safari with a company, I won’t recommend them to you either.

Of course! Please reach out at any time. Whether you have a question about a quote, want packing advice, or need help choosing between two options—I’m here for you.

You don’t have to figure things out on your own. I’ve helped hundreds of people through this process, and I know how overwhelming it can feel, especially if it’s your first time.

I’ll answer honestly, kindly, and in a way that helps you feel confident. There’s no such thing as a silly question—I’ve heard them all, and I’m always happy to help.

Think of me as your safari sidekick, here to guide you through every step of the planning journey.

I stay with you through the whole process, from your first message to the moment your safari is confirmed—and sometimes even beyond that! My goal is to make sure you feel supported and informed every step of the way.

I can help review your quotes, explain anything that’s unclear, and offer my honest thoughts about what’s good or what might need changing. I’m on your side, always.

I also send helpful guides, videos, and tips to get you ready—like what to pack, how to prepare, and what to expect during your safari days.

And if something feels confusing or you hit a small bump along the way, I’m just an email away. You’re not just planning with a company—you’re planning with me.

What makes my service different is how personal and real it is. I’m not a big company or a faceless platform—I’m a real person who genuinely loves helping people plan amazing safaris. I take time to understand what you want and make sure you’re matched with companies I know and trust.

Unlike many websites that connect you to any operator who signs up, I only recommend a small number of tour operators who’ve been tested thoroughly. I’ve either been on safari with them myself or heard consistently great feedback from my travelers. That gives you a layer of safety and quality you won’t find everywhere.

I also stay involved from beginning to end. I don’t disappear after I send your quotes—I’m always available to answer questions, explain details, and give you honest advice. You don’t need to figure things out alone.

It’s this mix of personalized care, honest feedback, and top-notch operators that sets “Safari with Tiana” apart. You’re not just booking a trip—you’re getting support from someone who really cares about your experience.

Yes, absolutely—I’d love to help with that. Sometimes travelers receive two or three quotes and feel unsure which one to go with. That’s totally normal, especially if it’s your first safari.

If you send me the quotes, I’ll take a look and break them down for you. I’ll tell you what looks great, what might need adjusting, and if I notice anything missing or overpriced. I want you to book something that makes sense, not just something that sounds good.

I’ll also ask you a few simple questions like: Do you prefer comfort or adventure? Do you want to move around a lot or relax more in one place? Answers like that help me guide you better.

My goal is to help you choose the safari that feels right for you—without stress, pressure, or confusion. I’m here for you the whole way.

Yes, 100%. Safety and reliability are my top priorities. I only recommend safari operators that have proven they can deliver a smooth, safe, and enjoyable experience again and again.

Each one has experienced guides, well-maintained vehicles, proper insurance, and the correct park permits. I look at their track record with past guests and how they handle problems (if they ever come up). I don’t just go by what they say—I look at what they do.

Many of these operators I’ve worked with for years. I’ve also gone on safari with them myself, so I know what they’re like in real-life situations. And I regularly ask travelers for feedback, just to make sure standards stay high.

If even one guest has a serious issue, I follow up immediately. And if I notice a pattern, I stop recommending that operator. You’re in very safe hands when you book through me.

That’s the beauty of this process—you can customize everything. If you’ve always dreamed of flying in a hot air balloon over the Serengeti or staying in a luxury lodge with amazing views, just let me or the tour operator know.

When you fill out the safari request form, there’s a space to include any special wishes. But even if you forget to mention something, you can add it later. Nothing is set in stone.

Balloon safaris, cultural visits, bush breakfasts, walking safaris, even proposal setups—I’ve helped guests organize all of these. The local tour operators I work with are flexible and happy to adjust the plan for you.

I’ll also give you honest advice if something isn’t worth the cost or doesn’t match your route. My job is to help you make smart choices and have the experience of a lifetime.

If anything unexpected happens during your trip, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Because I work directly with the owners of each safari company I recommend, I can step in and help solve things quickly if needed.

In the rare case something isn’t going as planned—like a delayed pick-up or lodge issue—you can message me, and I’ll follow up with the operator on your behalf. This gives you an extra layer of support that many travelers don’t have.

I’ve helped guests sort out last-minute flight changes, safari date shifts, even personal issues like medication access. So please feel free to reach out at any time. I’m always happy to help.

Most safaris go smoothly, but it’s comforting to know someone has your back if anything does come up. That’s part of the peace of mind I offer.

Yes, I help all kinds of travelers—families with kids, solo explorers, honeymooners, groups of friends, and more. I’ve matched travelers of all ages and backgrounds with safaris that suit them perfectly.

If you're traveling with children, I’ll match you with operators who understand family needs—like shorter drives, kid-friendly lodges, and private guides. If you're on your own, I’ll make sure you’re with a safe, friendly, and welcoming team.

I also help solo travelers save money by suggesting smart options—like joining small group departures or choosing affordable lodge combinations.

No matter who you’re traveling with—or even if you’re not sure yet—I’ll help you plan something comfortable, exciting, and totally right for you.

While I don’t book international flights for you, I can definitely give you advice on routes, airport transfers, and the best times to fly. I can also tell you which domestic flights are most reliable within Tanzania.

As for visas, I’ll guide you through the process depending on your nationality. Most travelers can get a visa on arrival in Tanzania or apply online before traveling. I’ll make sure you have the latest info.

I’ll also remind you about things like passport expiry dates, yellow fever requirements (if needed), and airport pick-up plans.

Basically, I’ll help you prepare step-by-step so you arrive in Tanzania confident, ready, and excited.

I collect feedback from every traveler who books a safari through me. I ask how things went, what they loved, and if there’s anything I should know. I use this feedback to keep improving and make sure I’m only recommending the very best.

If you'd like to read reviews, just let me know and I can send you some recent ones or link you to stories shared by happy travelers. I’m proud of the lovely words people have sent me over the years.

What I love most is that many of my travelers write to me after their safari—not just to say thanks, but to tell me how meaningful the experience was. That always makes my day.

So yes, there are plenty of real stories and reviews I’m happy to share. They show what Safari with Tiana is really all about—personal care, trusted advice, and incredible memories.
