This policy applies to personal information collected through gapiafricasafaris.com, our booking enquiries, email correspondence, WhatsApp communications, and during the course of arranging and delivering your safari. By using our website or engaging our services, you consent to the practices described here.

We use your personal information to:

• Prepare quotations, process bookings, and coordinate with lodges, parks, and airlines on your behalf.
• Communicate with you regarding your itinerary, safety information, and travel updates.
• Improve our website, services, and the guest experience.
• Send marketing communications where you have opted in, which you may unsubscribe from at any time.
• Comply with legal, tax, and regulatory obligations in Tanzania.

Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on: performance of a contract (to arrange and deliver your safari), legitimate interests (to operate and improve our business), consent (for marketing communications and non-essential cookies), and legal obligation (for tax and regulatory record-keeping).

We share the minimum necessary information with:

• Lodges, camps, ground transport operators, and airlines required to deliver your confirmed itinerary.
• Tanzania National Parks Authority (TANAPA), Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority, and other relevant park bodies for entry and permit purposes.
• Payment processors and our accounting providers, solely to process transactions and maintain financial records.
• Government authorities where required by law, such as immigration or tax reporting obligations.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our site. Full details of the cookies we use and how to manage them are set out in our Cookie Policy.

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Booking and financial records are typically retained for a minimum of seven years in line with Tanzanian tax regulations. Enquiry data from guests who do not proceed with a booking is retained for a maximum of 24 months before being securely deleted.

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including encrypted payment processing and restricted internal access to guest records. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your information, subject to legal retention obligations.
• Object to or restrict certain processing, including marketing communications.
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 13.

As an international safari operator, your information may be transferred to and processed in Tanzania and other countries where our booking, payment, or communication systems operate. We take reasonable steps to ensure such transfers are protected to a standard consistent with this policy.

Our website and services are intended for adults arranging travel. We collect information about children only when provided by a parent or guardian as part of a family safari booking, and solely for the purpose of arranging that travel.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Effective" date at the top of this page indicates the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
