Why Hazina

The Hazina Afrika Difference

From the hundreds of tour operators offering safaris in Tanzania, these are some of the differences that set Hazina Afrika apart from the other companies:

• Expedited visa service is included upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport. There is no need to obtain your Tanzania tourist visa in your home country before your trip. Our visa expert will greet you in the Arrivals Lounge at Kilimanjaro International Airport and take care of the details at Visa Control.

• Unlimited mileage and no fuel restrictions on game drives. Most tour operators, including many high-end companies, enforce strict mileage or fuel restrictions on game drives to minimize costs. At Hazina Afrika, we encourage off-the-beaten-path game drives to remote corners of the parks for exclusive game viewing and do not restrict our driver guides with fuel limits or mileage restrictions.

• Extra park permits & special permits. Park permits are single entry and valid for 24 hours. We ensure that your safari has enough park permits for leisurely game viewing and your driver guide will not need to push you to exit the park before the permits expire. Additionally, we include extra park permits on green season safaris so that you can cross the border between Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area in search of the Great Migration. We also include Gol Kopje permits as well to explore the seldom-visited remote eastern plains including Barafu Kopjes, Sametu Kopjes, Soit Le Montonye which boast the highest density of cheetahs in the green season.

• Unlimited bottled water and soft drinks (Coke & Sprite), coffee and tea service, cookies and snacks are provided in the Landcruiser for guests’ enjoyment while on game drives. And camping chairs and a portable table are provided in each Landcruiser so that you can take a break during your game drive and enjoy a coffee in a beautiful location.

• A pair of high quality Nikon binocular for each guest’s use while on safari. Binoculars are a “must have” piece of equipment and absolutely essential for game viewing on safari.

• Mobile phone with prepaid air minutes for use during the safari to reach your driver guide in the evenings (in case you want to change morning plans, or have a problem which needs solving) or to call our head office on any issues or report a complaint, or to receive calls from family or friends.

• Extended 6 seaters or extended 4 seater Landcruiser with custom extra-large windows for exceptional game viewing and photographing; sockets for charging camera batteries, phone, iPad, etc.; small fridge for keeping drinks cold; extra cushions on seats for comfort; removable shade cover; bean bags for photography (if requested).

• Top notch driver guides. We have some of the best guides in the industry who are passionate about the bush and are enthusiastic about sharing their knowledge and love for wildlife with their clients. For them, it’s not just a job. They will go the extra mile in an attempt to exceed your expectations and provide you with an unforgettable safari experience. They love what they do and it shows. Our guides will not follow the crowd or “radio chase” (this happens when guides get lazy and rely on chatter on the radio to find lions, leopards, cheetah). Instead, our guides will take you off the beaten path and will always look for the game using their skills so you’re not sharing a lion sighting with 30 or 40 other vehicles. In order to recruit and retain top guides, we offer excellent compensation and continuing education opportunities to our guides. We understand that on safari, it is the guide who will make or break your safari.
