Your question opens in WhatsApp. We pass it on to locally registered experts.
Every article answers one traveller question, with the local operators' own answers linked underneath.
Go with a local tour operator who knows the family well. Then you arrive as a guest, not as a tourist to be shown around. Keep your group small, ask before you take photos, and agree with your operator how the family is paid. Many visits are a day trip from Arusha.
Answered by Sam Obae, Nomad Trails Africa · Arusha Read the answer →Every safari and nature trip is run on the ground by a local company. LocalBooking introduces you to them directly: locally registered, nature-based tour operators and lodges, answering travellers’ questions in their own words.
When you book direct, more of what you spend stays in the country where you travel, with the local businesses whose future depends on the parks, wildlife and landscapes you came to see. That income encourages better management of the natural environment and allows your trip to contribute to more sustainable tourism. The more of it that stays, the stronger the reason to manage these places well.
That is why we take no commission, ever, and why every company on LocalBooking is registered in the country where the travel happens.
Starting in East Africa.
