Choosing the lowest price for your African adventure might seem tempting, But it often comes with hidden costs you can’t afford.
When booking with unverified or low-budget operators, travellers often face unpleasant surprises, such as poorly maintained vehicles, damaged or unsafe equipment, low-quality meals, or missing essentials like functioning oxygen tanks during mountain climbs. What appears “cheap” upfront can quickly turn into discomfort, safety concerns, or even a ruined experience.
Beyond the traveller’s inconvenience, there’s also a deeper issue. Many budget operators cut corners by underpaying their guides, porters, and local staff, the very people who make every journey possible. This unfair practice contributes to worker exploitation and poverty within Tanzania’s tourism sector.
At Roots and Routes Africa, we believe in doing things the right way. We pay fair wages, maintain our equipment to the highest standards, and deliver a safe, ethical, and high-quality travel experience every time.
Your journey should empower communities, not exploit them. Choose responsible travel. Choose Roots and Routes Africa.
