Our updated covid-19 terms & conditions
While covid- 19 has thoroughly rained on our 2020 & 2021 travel parade, we like to believe that no matter how dark the storm clouds there’s always a silver lining to be found! Seeing as we’re unable to travel right now, this is the perfect time to plan for when we can.
We at Picture Tanzania Safari, we will continue to look to tourism as the force that uplifts Tanzania’s poorest communities and protects her wildlife.
Tourism not only enriches the lives of our incredible guests, but supports millions of livelihoods across our continent. As such, we at Picture Tanzania Safari are committed to redoubling our efforts, to ensure we help maintain decades of conservation, by encouraging guests to pick Africa as their holiday destination of choice.
To support these efforts, during this uncertain time, we have amended our standard terms and conditions to provide our clients with additional certainty around their future travel, allowing added benefit, should clients be directly impacted by covid – 19.

Insurance
Over the years many of us have become complacent when it comes to travel insurance in protecting our holiday investments. While we recognize all travel insurance is limited in respect to coverage for covid – 19, we have adjusted our standard terms and conditions accordingly, to provide our guests coverage. Sufficient travel insurance cover for cancellations or medical emergencies is absolutely essential in fully protecting your holiday investment. Regrettably we are not permitted to offer travel insurance directly. However, we have done the research on your behalf and have excellent recommendations for you, including “any reason” cancellation protection.
These include:
For comprehensive insurance, we recommend that you speak to your local insurance broker. Alternatively, we had very positive feedback from clients who utilized the following services
1) Earth travel protection
2)Trip mate
3)USA- Assist
4)Global Rescue
Please reach out to your Travel Expert who will gladly assist you in choosing the right cover for your travel.
We at Picture Tanzania Safari, we are looking forward to welcoming people back to Tanzania again!
