Choosing the Right Safari Partner: 5 Questions Every Travel Advisor Should Ask

When you’re planning a safari for your clients, the itinerary is only part of the story. Who you partner with matters — from the people your clients meet in the field to the experience they have from start to finish. That’s why it’s worth getting to know the company behind the safari.

Join us for a conversation about 5 questions every travel advisor should ask a safari operator and learn what to look for when choosing a partner for your clients.

We’ll discuss:

Who’s behind the safari?
How does the company operate on the ground, how long have they been doing it, and what sets them apart?

Who are the guides?
What experience, knowledge, and training do they bring? What do their guests have to say about them?

Where will my clients stay?
What makes the accommodations distinctive? What exclusive experiences do they offer?

How does the operator travel responsibly?
How does the company support local communities, conservation, and responsible travel?

How will we work together?
What can you expect from your safari partner before, during, and after your clients’ trip?

We’ll share our perspective from more than 45 years of operating safaris in Tanzania, but these are questions worth asking of any safari operator you work with.
