Deaf & Disability-Inclusive Safari
Visual briefings, adapted vehicles
A safari planned from the airport transfer to the tent layout, with visual safety briefings, a vehicle we have checked ourselves, and sign language only when a trained guide is free on your dates.
Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and disabled travellers From $405 pp / night From $2,025 pp (5 nights)
The story of this trip
Deaf and disabled guests should not have to adapt a standard itinerary for themselves. We start with a video call, with live captions if you want them. Then we book a vehicle whose entry we have checked and ground-floor rooms, and we provide written and visual briefings, such as cards, diagrams and hand signals, alongside speech. Tanzanian or Kenyan Sign Language is available on request when a trained guide is free. If nobody is free that week, we say so. A support companion can travel at a reduced rate when the lodge will take the extra bed.
What this safari is for
- A planning call, with captions available
- Visual and written briefings, not speech alone
- A vehicle with an adapted entry when we can source one
- Step-free routes at lodges that have them
- A support companion at a reduced rate if the lodge agrees

A sample northern week
This is a working route. We confirm the camps and pace on your quote, within 24 hours.
Arrive in Arusha
You transfer in the vehicle we described. We brief you with cards and diagrams, not with a lecture over the engine. There is no park visit today.
Tarangire
Guides point out sightings visually, and not only by announcing them. You have a picnic if getting out of the vehicle is comfortable.
Lake Manyara
We skip a track if it is a bad idea for the suspension or the seats we booked.
A rest day in the highlands
Take time to rest your ears, eyes and joints. We offer an optional short walk, but only on a step-free path.
Ngorongoro Crater, if agreed
If the call ruled out the floor, we stay in the highlands. The road is steep either way, and that is a fact, not a selling point.
Return to Arusha, or Zanzibar if the transfer works
We do not fit a 16:00 flight after a crater morning. If you have an international flight, leave some time to spare.

When to travel
June to October, when the tracks are firmer. We confirm sign-language cover and the vehicle layout on the planning call, not after you land.
Why this route
The sample week is six days in the north. Day trips and Zanzibar extensions use the same notes. We do not claim that every driver signs.
