We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against:

  • Unauthorized access
  • Accidental loss

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may securely delete, destroy, or anonymize it, subject to applicable legal requirements.

  1. Information Concerning Children

Our website is primarily intended for adults planning travel.

However, families traveling with children may need to provide information about minors when arranging family safaris and holidays.

Where information concerning a child is required for a booking, we expect it to be provided by the child’s parent, legal guardian, or another person properly authorized to provide the information.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from children for marketing purposes.

  1. Third Party Websites

Our website may occasionally contain connections to websites or services operated by airlines, accommodations, tourism authorities, payment providers, social networks, or other independent organizations.

Tansania Toll Safaris is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of independent third-party websites. Visitors should review the privacy policies of those services before submitting personal information.

  1. International Travelers

Our guests may contact us from countries throughout the world. Personal information may therefore be communicated to and processed in Tanzania and, where necessary to fulfil an itinerary, other destinations involved in providing the requested travel services.

We will seek to process such information responsibly and in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

  1. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Tansania Toll Safaris may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, booking procedures, technology, business operations, or applicable laws.
