Frequently Asked Questions

Everything international travelers need to know about Serengeti safaris with Jae Travel.

Q:Can I do a Serengeti safari from Nairobi, Kenya?

A:Absolutely! We offer daily departures from Nairobi. You can either fly directly to Serengeti (1.5-hour flight from Wilson Airport) or take a road transfer via the Namanga border (5-6 hours). Both options include pickup from your Nairobi hotel. Many guests combine Kenya and Tanzania safaris with us.

Q:Do you accept international payments?

A:Yes, we accept multiple payment methods for global clients: Credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), bank wire transfers, PayPal, and even cryptocurrency (Bitcoin/Ethereum). All payments are secure and receipts provided.

Q:What's included in the package price?

A:All our packages include: Private 4x4 safari vehicle, professional English-speaking guide, park entry fees (conservation fees), accommodations as specified, meals as per itinerary, airport transfers, and 24/7 support from our Nairobi office. International flights and visas are not included.

Q:How far in advance should I book for 2026?

A:For peak season (July-October), we recommend booking 8-12 months in advance as luxury camps fill up quickly. For green season (January-March), 4-6 months is usually sufficient. However, we always check last-minute availability — contact us for current openings.

Q:Is the Serengeti safe for international tourists?

A:Yes, Serengeti National Park is very safe for tourists. All our guides are professionally trained, first-aid certified, and have decades of experience. We follow strict safety protocols, and our vehicles are equipped with satellite phones and first-aid kits. Tanzania is a politically stable country welcoming millions of tourists annually.
