Discounts depend on the actual trip rather than a single permanent company percentage. Safari pricing combines accommodation, park fees, transport, flights and the number of travellers. A hotel may offer a low-season rate while a park fee or airline price remains unchanged.
Do you offer discounts?
Discounts are not a single permanent rule because safari pricing is built from accommodation, park fees, transport, flights, group size and travel season. A property may offer a seasonal rate while park fees remain fixed.
Group size can reduce the per-person cost of shared vehicle transport, and children may qualify for age-based rates from specific suppliers or parks. Those rules vary.
Ask ESA Safaris for a current quotation based on real dates and traveller ages. That is more reliable than applying a generic percentage discount to an old package price.
Are meals included in the package?
Meal inclusions depend on the package and accommodation basis. A safari lodge may be booked on full board, while a city hotel or beach stay may use bed-and-breakfast, half board or another plan.
The quotation should clearly state the meal basis for each night and any meals included during transfers or excursions.
Do not assume 'safari package' automatically means every meal and drink is covered. Check the inclusion list before payment.
What documents do I need to travel from Nairobi to Tanzania?
Travel between Kenya and Tanzania requires valid travel documents for both countries. The exact requirements depend on nationality, residency status and the traveller's circumstances.
At minimum, travellers should verify passport validity, immigration permission or visa requirements, health documentation where applicable and any requirements for minors. Entry systems and fees can change.
Use the official immigration sources for current requirements and share your nationality with ESA Safaris during planning so the route can be discussed accurately. The traveller remains responsible for meeting border requirements.
Why Nairobi changes the answer
East Africa's largest safari gateway and a city where wildlife, museums, restaurants, conservation centres and day trips can be combined before or after a longer safari. The city's unusual appeal is the contrast between urban life and protected wildlife habitat on its southern edge.
Nairobi can be visited year-round; mornings are often cool, and rain can affect traffic and park tracks more than the overall ability to visit.
Use the confirmed property for the final answer
Meal plans and dining facilities vary between lodges, camps and resorts. A full-board safari stay may operate differently from a beach hotel or city property.
If a particular food, late meal or dining style matters, ask ESA Safaris to confirm it with the booked property rather than assuming every hotel offers the same service.
What this means for your itinerary
Meal inclusions also vary. A safari lodge may be quoted on full board while a city hotel or beach property may use bed-and-breakfast or half board. The quotation should state the meal basis for each part of the trip.
For travel from Nairobi into Tanzania, passport and immigration requirements depend on nationality and can change. Check the official entry requirements for both countries before travel, and make sure the route, border point and any visa arrangements match your itinerary.
Before you book or travel
- State allergies and strict dietary requirements during booking, not only after arrival.
- Confirm the meal plan shown for each property.
- Carry suitable snacks if you have a very restrictive diet or long transfer days.
- Use the drinking water supplied or recommended by the lodge and guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can dietary requirements be arranged?
Often yes, especially with advance notice. Remote camps have more limited supply chains, so send clear requirements before accommodation is confirmed.
Is bottled or filtered water available?
Most safari itineraries provide or recommend safe drinking water, but the exact system varies by property. Follow the guidance of the lodge and guide.
Should I carry my own snacks?
It can be useful on long transfer days or when you have a very restrictive diet. Check border and park rules before carrying fresh food.
How early should I report an allergy?
At the booking stage. A severe allergy needs clearer planning than an ordinary preference and should be communicated to each relevant property.
Plan the details around your trip
Share dietary requirements with ESA Safaris before accommodation is confirmed. The team can pass the details to the booked properties and help you understand what is realistically available along the route.
