Questions Before You Go

Every journey with Back to Eden Adventures is thoughtfully designed around your interests, pace, and sense of adventure. Here you’ll find answers to the questions our guests often ask about planning, accommodation, activities, logistics, and what to expect along the way. If there’s anything you’re still wondering about, our team is always here to help you plan your journey with confidence.

Yes. This journey is ideal for honeymooners, couples celebrating anniversaries and travellers looking for a romantic tropical escape. Special arrangements such as private dinners, couples’ spa treatments and romantic room decorations can be requested.
Absolutely. Accommodation can be selected according to your preferences and budget, ranging from charming boutique hotels to luxury beachfront resorts and exclusive private pool villas.
The itinerary includes a boat excursion in the Mnemba Island marine area for snorkelling and ocean exploration. Access to the protected island itself is restricted, so activities take place at permitted locations around the marine area.
Yes. A private beach dinner or another special dining experience can be arranged subject to availability and the selected property’s services.
Yes. Additional nights can be arranged for couples who would like more time to enjoy the beaches, explore the island or simply relax at their resort.
The cost of a Zanzibar holiday depends on your travel dates, accommodation category, length of stay, activities and transport arrangements. Budget accommodation and local experiences can make a holiday more affordable, while luxury beachfront resorts, private excursions and exclusive experiences require a higher budget. At Back To Eden Adventures, we can help customise a Zanzibar or Pemba holiday according to your preferred travel style and budget.
Lightweight, breathable clothing is ideal for the tropical climate. Swimwear is appropriate at hotel pools and beaches, but modest clothing is recommended when visiting Stone Town, local villages and other public areas, particularly because Zanzibar has a predominantly Muslim culture. Comfortable walking shoes, sandals, sunglasses and sun protection are also useful.
Yes! Zanzibar and Pemba are excellent destinations to add after a Tanzania safari. After exploring national parks such as Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, you can fly to the islands for a relaxing beach holiday. It is a wonderful way to combine wildlife adventures with tropical beaches, ocean activities and cultural experiences.

Incredible experience with Back to Eden Adventures As the Great Migration season kicks off in June, I'm excited to share my unforgettable Safari experience in Tanzania with Back to Eden Adventures. Their expert guide Hassan took us on thrilling game drives, bringing us face-to-face with incredible wildlife. We savored every moment, eagerly awaiting sightings of lions and cheetahs in action. The highlight of our trip was a luxurious 2-day glamping adventure deep in the middle of forest, with impeccable service from the staff. Special thanks to Laurent and Gift and for their exceptional customer service, which truly made our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend Back to Eden Adventures to anyone planning a Tanzanian adventure.

7-Day Kilimanjaro Trek We recently completed the 7-day Machame trek with Back To Eden Adventures and it was an absolutely incredible experience. The entire team, from our guides to the porters, were exceptional. The itinerary was well-paced and allowed us to acclimatize properly. We enjoyed stunning views throughout the trek, and the campsites were well-chosen and offered incredible vistas.

Great safari experience! Planned a trip for my parents and another couple, and they had an amazing time! They mentioned Laurent specifically took very good care of them during the whole tour and to their particular needs whether it was the food, their medical conditions etc. I definitely recommend this tour for safari in Serengeti. Reach out to Laurent! He's so easy to get along with and communicate with so that you can plan in advance with him before your trip.

Tanzania

17 Days Kilimanjaro Summit & Great Migration Safari Expedition

Experience the best of Tanzania’s mountain and wildlife adventures on this carefully designed 17-day expedition. Combining the physical challenge of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with the extraordinary wildlife encounters of the Great Migration season, this journey is ideal for travellers who want to experience two of Africa’s most iconic adventures in one holiday.

Your mountain adventure follows the popular Machame Route, known for its beautiful scenery and varied landscapes. Over seven days on the mountain, you will pass through lush rainforest, open moorland, the dramatic Shira Plateau and the alpine desert. The route includes an acclimatization experience at Lava Tower and the famous Barranco Wall before your final ascent to Uhuru Peak, the highest point in Africa.

Following your descent, you will have time to recover in Moshi before taking a scenic bush flight to the Northern Serengeti. August is traditionally an exciting period in the Great Migration calendar, when large herds of wildebeest and zebras may be found moving through the northern ecosystem. You will spend time exploring the Mara River area, with opportunities to witness dramatic river crossings when wildlife movements and conditions allow.

The expedition continues into Central Serengeti, a year-round wildlife destination known for its resident predators, big cats, elephants and expansive savannah landscapes. From here, you travel towards the Ngorongoro Highlands for an overnight stay before descending into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full-day wildlife experience. Your final safari destination is Tarangire National Park, famous for its large elephant herds and magnificent baobab trees.
