When booking a safari, you want to focus on the joys of that experience. But before you can do that, you of course need to pay for your beautiful holiday plans. As Tanzania Specialist, we’ve tried to make the payment process as smooth as possible. How? Read on to find out!
Since we have clients from different countries, we need to be as flexible as possible. That’s why we have a bank account in the Netherlands for bank transfers, but we also accept credit/ American Express/ debit card payments (via iDeal, Bancontact, EPS, Giropay and Sofort, but not Paypal).
Some people feel bank transfers are easier, whereas others prefer (credit) card payments for international transfers. In the end, it’s up to you.
Bank transfers are common in some countries, and uncommon in others, but we receive bank transfers from all over the world. As long as you have the details needed for a (international) transfer, it’s pretty straightforward and can usually be done online or in your banking app.
When doing an international transfer, you need two important things: the IBAN of the receiving party, which is their bank account number written in the international standard. The second thing is the BIC/SWIFT code, which is the international code for your bank.
When paying for your safari in Tanzania, you need the bank details listed below:
Name of the bank: Rabobank
Account holder’s name: Tanzania Specialist B.V.
International bank account number: NL39 RABO 0308 5684 78
(NL and RABO in letters, the rest in numbers)
Swift / BIC Code: RABONL2U
(only the 2 is a number)
Phone Number (if required):
US: +1 (518) 634-1139
NL: +31 174 35 2016
FR: +33 257 28 0079
DE: +49 408 7407061
ES: +34 932 20 61 15
Paying by (credit) card is fairly simple, as you just use the payment link you receive with our invoice. It is good to keep in mind that we prefer you pay in euros and that all credit, debit, American Express and other direct card payments are charged a 2% fee for service costs.*
In some cases, address details are needed for payments. Please find the address of our office and bank below:
