Alvin African Safaris Terms and Conditions

Thank you for choosing Alvin African Safaris as your trusted travel partner. We are dedicated to providing exceptional safari experiences across Africa. Before confirming your booking, please read and understand the following terms and conditions that govern our services.

On all booked trips, the ANVR Traveller Terms (available here) apply in addition to our own terms below. The terms and conditions of Alvin African Safaris prevail in all situations unless otherwise specified.

This 4-day wilderness safari with Alvin African Safaris takes you deep into the legendary Northern Safari Circuit — a perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and iconic wildlife. You’ll travel across breathtaking landscapes: witness elephants grazing beneath ancient baobab trees in Tarangire National Park, explore the wildlife-rich floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, and marvel at the pink-hued shores of Lake Manyara, home to tree-climbing lions and flocks of flamingos.

Designed with midrange accommodations in mind (but fully customizable), this safari brings you close to Tanzania’s best — guided by locals who make sure every moment counts.
