Plus airport code","answer":"Fly into Arusha Airport (ARK) OR Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) and fly out of Zanzibar \u2013 Abeid Amani Karume Airport International Airport (ZNZ).\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight arrive (in time for the welcome meeting)?","answer":"Before 3 pm ideally. The welcome meeting and dinner will be from 6 pm at the hotel, which is 15 minutes away from Kilimanjaro Airport or 1 hour and 30 minutes from Arusha Airport.\nYou can check-in to your room from 11 am, but if you arrive on an earlier flight you are welcome to use the hotel facilities (pool, bar, etc) until your room is ready.\n"},{"question":"What time should my flight depart on the last day?","answer":"Check-out time is 10am but bear in mind that the airport is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes away from your final hotel, so make sure you book a flight from 2 pm onwards in order to leave plenty of travel time. It is also recommended to arrive at the airport three hours before your flight.\n"},{"question":"Do you include airport transfers? ","answer":"If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure, or you book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer will be included. If you book alternative pre-tour accommodation or are arriving by another mode of transport you must arrange your own arrival transfer.\nArrival transfers are private to Flash Pack and will be in groups depending on flight times. Sometimes this means waiting in the airport for a short while until other flights have arrived.\nWe don\u2019t offer a departure transfer as Flashpackers leave at different times of the day and many stay for extra nights. We will offer you support with finding a local taxi, which should cost around 70 USD.\n"},{"question":"When is the best time to go? ","answer":"From June to mid-July, the Bush Rover Migration Camp is located on the fabulous Grumeti river where the migration is expected to be at this time of year. The aim of the camp is to be right in the heart of the great migration\nAfter the November rains when the fresh grasses grow in the southeast of Serengeti, the wildebeest continue to move from north to south. The Bush Rover Suites are in situ, having arrived at their final annual destination in the area of Kusini. The camp will remain here, with the wildebeest, until mid-March\nDuring mid-July, the Bush Rover Suites move from the west to the north of Serengeti with a stunning site with a view of the great Mara river that many would envy. Why is this so important? At this time of year, the herds move to this area in the far north to graze on the new grasses in this area. To see an actual crossing of the Mara river by thousands of wildebeest is the holy grail of wildlife viewing.\n"},{"question":"Do I need a visa?","answer":"You will need a visa to enter Tanzania, which you can apply for in advance on the Tanzanian Government website: \u00a0https:\/\/eservices.immigration.go.tz\/visa\/. \nIt is possible to get a tourist visa for a single entry on arrival (multiple entry visas are not granted on arrival) at the main ports of entry to Tanzania.\u00a0\nIf you are a US national, you must apply for a multiple entry visa in advance as you are not entitled to enter with a single entry visa.\u00a0\nWe recommend that you have at least six months validity remaining on your passport and can show a return ticket.\n"},{"question":"What are the Covid-19 requirements for visiting Tanzania?","answer":"Due to the changeable nature of Covid-19 entry requirements, we strongly advise Flashpackers to consult the travel advice issued by your local consular services well in advance of your departure date. Some countries do still require travelers to comply with pre-arrival testing and\/or vaccination requirements. Links to the key consular services can be found on our Safety page.\n"},{"question":"What other vaccinations and medication will I need? ","answer":"We recommend checking with your local travel clinic six to eight weeks before your trip to see if any medications or vaccinations are required.\n"},{"question":"How much should I budget per day for extras?","answer":"All Pack Leader and driver tips are included and most of the meals are all-inclusive.\nApproximately 95,000 TZS, the equivalent of 35-40 USD per day.\n"},{"question":"Will the itinerary change? ","answer":"Please be aware that the itinerary, activities and hotels are subject to change. These changes can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control \u2013 but we\u2019ll always do our best to ensure it has little impact on your experience. From time to time, we may also make changes to your itinerary to try out new ideas and keep things fresh and exciting.\nThe order of some of the activities may change. Please check with one of our trip experts about the specific departure you are interested in.\n"},{"question":"Can I request a single room on this adventure?","answer":"Single supplements are not possible on this adventure due to the nature of the accommodation you\u2019ll be staying in. Please contact us should you require more information.\n"},{"question":"Do we have a dedicated Pack Leader for the duration of the trip?","answer":"For the duration of your safari in the Serengeti (days 2 to 6) you will have a dedicated Pack Leader with you.\nOn Day 1 when you arrive, you will be met by a lovely member of our team on the ground who will help you check in and catch your flight the following morning where you\u2019ll meet your official Pack Leader. Then, when you land in Zanzibar on Day 6 you will be greeted by the Zanzibari hotel staff who will whisk you away to your beach-front boutique hotel.
