    Timothy

    Asked on October 27th, 2023

    Since I will have a long trip (coming from the US), I would like two extra nights in Arusha so that I am rested before starting the tour. Is that something you can arrange? If yes, what would be the extra cost?

      TravelerWritten October 2023

      I want to book my spot for this tour, including the extra nights in Arusha and the transfer. Do you have a document anywhere about luggage restrictions (weight, size), what to pack (temperatures in mid-June in the different places), and other practical issues?

    • T
