    Suggest Tauck consider elliminating Dar Es Salaam on Tanzania-Zanzibar tour. It would make more sense to fly to Dar airprt late afternoon from Zanzibar on last day. Dar traffic is a nightmare and the day is a total loss while staying in Zanzibar would give travellers another half day to enjoy.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the tour except for experience in Dar. Game viewing was excellent and Zanzibar is a pleasant place. We just returned.

    I suggest your tour planner go to Dar to experience what we did.

    Regarding Currency - The Tauck Guide book for our Tanzania: Serengeti to Zanzabar trip says to bring smaller US bills up to $20. For the Tauck Tour Director, can you give $50 or $100 BILLS?

    Hi Al E,

    Yes; it's acceptable to tip the Tauck Director in either US currency or an equivalent amount in the local currency. The normal rate is $8 USD per person per day (so if you and a partner were on an 8 day trip, you would tip $64 per person, to a total of $128).

    I hope this helps!

    Tim,
    Will the Tauck Director accept US $50 or $100 bills for their gratuity? If so, this will cut down the number of $20 bills we would need to bring.
    Thanks!

    Hi Al,

    I can't think of any reason why that would be a problem. :)
