The food served in our tented camps is particularly good. Our camp cooks are carefully trained,
and many travelers are amazed at the quality of the food they produce in a simple camp
kitchen. Most of our meals are from the familiar Western cuisines, but we’ll mix this up with
characteristic African fare: you can try dishes such as ugali, a maize meal dish, nyama na
ndizi, a meat and banana stew, or sukuma wiki, fried green collards.

receive one complementary bottle of water each day at your lodgings, and during safari days,
you’ll also receive a second complementary bottle of water in your safari vehicle. Additional
bottled water is available for sale in the lodges. Prices vary, but generally fall in the $3-4
range for a one-litter bottle.

Safari Vehicles
In Tanzania, we travel between parks and do our game drives in top-quality four-wheel-drive
vehicles. Each passenger has an individual, high-backed seat with armrests. The vehicles are
designed for maximum visibility: every seat is a window seat. A large hatch lifts up from the
roof for unrestricted viewing. Our vehicles in Kenya’s Masai Mara are similar to the ones we
use in Tanzania.

Reminder: The roads in Tanzania and Kenya can be very bumpy, and there will be times when you are

Safety & Security

As you travel, exercise the same caution and awareness that you would in a large American
city. Don’t be overly nervous or suspicious, but keep your eyes open. Carry a one-day supply
of cash in your pocket. Carry most of your money, and your passport, in a travel pouch or
money belt under your shirt. Replenish your pocket supply when you are in a safe and quiet
place, or in our vehicle. Do not leave valuable items unattended in your room. Almost every
