Galloping Safaris and COVID Safety
We at Galloping Safaris faced the Global Pandemic in 2020 was an anomaly in many ways, most due to the Covid-19 pandemic. From March through June 2020, NO TRAVELERS arrived in Tanzania for tourism. This was the first time ever in over 50 Years that there were NO Photographic Tourist and Climbers on Kilimanjaro.
Tour operators all over Tanzania encountered a difficult time and financial hardship. Some struggled to pay running cost of office space, while many could not afford to maintain the salaries of their employees.
During this time, Galloping Safaris had one main priority, to save out team. Meaning, we aimed to not let go a single member of staff because because we recognized that while business was struggling, individuals were facing economic difficulties, too and this good team of staff has the families and children’s to take care of and we work hard to maintain and support them financially the best we could for them to survivor and we pass together through this difficult time and everybody were happy for the good gesture and support from the Company.
We are proud to say we did not reduce even a single member of our team, and have kept all of our managers, mountain guides, safari guides, drivers, cooks and other specialists.
Tanzania is Safe to Travel during the Pandemic
Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, international travel is slowly resuming across the globe. Unfortunately, some countries are still unpredictable for tourists, places like France, Spain, Australia, Germany, UK and Italy are constantly changing entry requirements, allowing or denying entry to citizens of different countries.
Borders open and close with little notice, and could leave travelers stranded due to government changes. For many, there is quite a risk involved in booking a trip that be cancelled at the last moment.
Further, the risks of contracting coronavirus (and especially its new strains) have not been eliminated. Traveling to large, congested cities or staying in a foreign country present new challenges that many travelers didn’t consider before.
One national has taken a very different approach that Europe, and even the rest of the world: that is TANZANIA Unforgettable.
