Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on the Kibulu Tanzania Safaris website, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They allow the site to recognise your browser on future visits, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is being used.
Some cookies are set by us (“first-party” cookies). Others are set by trusted services we use, such as analytics or embedded video (“third-party” cookies).
2. How we use cookies
We use cookies for four main reasons:
- To make the website work properly (e.g. remembering your form inputs)
- To remember your preferences (e.g. language or currency)
- To understand how visitors find and use the site, so we can improve it
- To measure the effectiveness of any advertising or partner referrals
We do not use cookies to identify you personally without your consent, and we do not sell cookie data to third parties.
3. Cookie categories we set

These cookies are essential for the site to function. They cannot be disabled. They include things like your session, security tokens (CSRF), and remembering that you have closed the cookie banner.

Performance & Analytics
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. The data is aggregated and anonymous wherever possible. They are only set if you accept analytics in the cookie banner.

Functionality
These cookies remember choices you have made (such as preferred currency or recently viewed tours) so the site behaves more usefully on your next visit.
Marketing
We may, from time to time, run paid campaigns on platforms like Meta or Google. If we do, we may set cookies to measure the effectiveness of those campaigns. These cookies are only set with your consent.
4. Third-party cookies
Some content on our pages may be loaded from trusted third parties. These services may set their own cookies:
- Google Maps — for embedded map locations of lodges and parks
- YouTube / Vimeo — for embedded videos in articles or trip pages
- Google Fonts — for typography (no tracking cookies, but loads remotely)
- Google Analytics — for understanding site usage (only with consent)
We do not control these third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective providers' privacy and cookie policies for more information.
5. Managing your preferences
You can manage cookies in three ways:
- Cookie banner: use the “Accept” or “Reject” option in the banner shown when you first visit the site, or click “Cookie settings” in the footer to revisit your choices.
- Browser settings: all major browsers let you block or delete cookies. Look in your browser's Settings → Privacy menu, or visit aboutcookies.org for instructions per browser.
- Opt-outs from analytics: install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on if you don't want any of your activity to be measured anywhere.
Please note: blocking strictly-necessary cookies will break parts of the site (forms, sessions, payments).
6. Updates to this policy
We update this Cookie Policy whenever we add, remove or change the cookies we use. The version date is shown at the top of the page.
