Think about your priorities
Many northern Tanzania itineraries begin with a pickup in or around Arusha. If you are staying the night before a safari, confirm the exact pickup address with your operator and share it with your accommodation host. This helps avoid confusion on departure morning.
Ask what time you need to be ready, whether breakfast is available or needs to be arranged, where luggage can be stored and whether your accommodation can help organise a transfer. If you return after a safari, confirm whether a late arrival is possible before making the reservation.
