We share data only with providers who help us deliver your trip, under contract:

  • Stripe for payment processing.
  • Cloudinary for image delivery.
  • Our email and analytics providers.
  • Accommodation, park and transport partners needed to run your itinerary.

We never sell your personal data.

6. International transfers

Your data may be processed in Tanzania and in other countries where our providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses to protect it.

7. How long we keep it

We keep booking and financial records for as long as the law requires, and inquiry data for up to 24 months unless you ask us to delete it sooner.

8. Your rights

You may ask us to:

  • Access a copy of your data, or correct or delete it.
  • Restrict or object to certain processing.
  • Receive your data in a portable format.

We use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. Non-essential cookies load only after you accept them.

10. Security

We protect your data with encryption in transit, access controls, and payment handling through a PCI-compliant provider. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to keep your information safe.
