December 8th, 2009

Selecting a tour agent or safari operator in Kenya Uganda Tanzania out of the many is very difficult let alone where to travel and which travel package is budget friendly luckily you can profit from specialized information of previous Africa safari travelers and the feedback they have given. By using the procedure below you can select the best safari company and tour agency for your travel needs in East Africa.

The knowledge by travelers through African safari trip reports, safari articles, forums, blogs as well as Kenya tourism board, Tanzania safari board, Uganda safari association helps narrow the vast number of Africa safari companies and travel agents to a list of dependable tour operators in Africa.



Selecting A Trustworthy Safari Company and Tour Operator



Thinking of a Kenya Tanzania Uganda Zanzibar Safari, these guiding principles should assist travelers judge a genuine travel agent or con travel

Travelers should know that the Tour operator and travel agent have different roles in planning an African safari; however both have an influence in the success of your planning your safari in Africa.

If you have chosen a safari itinerary from a travel agent that you have dealt with and trust, always ask the travel agent who the safari ground handler operator is for the tour. This is because most travel agencies in Africa don’t operate safari vehicles of their own and only sell tickets.

Both the safari operator and travel agent should have a good reputation, come highly recommended and have driver guides with fine character

Ask the travel agent or tour operator for details of one or two of their previous travelers and ask the travelers directly what are their thoughts of the said tour operator or travel agents.

Do their recommendations march up? Safari association membership isn’t a fool-proof gauge of finding top safari companies us most tour and safari association membership is based on annual subscription as opposed to merits.

What are their payment policies? Genuine Safari companies operate on a 30% deposit and balance on arrival. Genuine Africa travel agents and tour operators should be open with their cancellation policy. Travel agents and the safari operators should be superb, not only during the email correspondences and planning stages of your safari, but also during the tour

Do the tour operators or travel agents members of staff come highly qualified? Do they run an actual office with a physical address? As it is with the increase in tourism, there are many tour operators who only have a website with no offices and only operate from cyber cafes

Well maintained safari vehicles are important as well is the number of travelers reserved per vehicle. Ideally each passenger should have a window seat and a normal safari vehicle is licensed to carry between seven to eight. Emergency equipment should be kept on the vehicle, for example a fire extinguisher and spare wheels
