Privacy Policy
Introduction to Our Privacy Commitment
At Grey Joy Safari Adventures, protecting your personal information is not just a legal requirement—it’s a promise. When you travel with us across Tanzania’s wild landscapes, you trust us with more than your itinerary. You trust us with your personal details, and we take that responsibility seriously.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information. If anything here feels unclear, we encourage you to reach out to us directly at info@greyjoysafariadventures.com.
Understanding Personal Information
What Is Personal Information?
Personal information is any data that can identify you as an individual. Think of it as the digital footprint you leave behind when planning your safari.
Examples of Personal Data We May Collect
This may include your name, email address, phone number, passport details, nationality, health information, travel preferences, and payment details. Simply put, if the information helps us plan and deliver your safari safely and smoothly, it likely falls under personal information.
How We Collect Personal Information
Information You Provide Directly
Most of the information we collect comes straight from you. This happens when you communicate with our team via email, phone calls, WhatsApp, live chat, or when filling out forms on our website.
Information Provided by Third Parties
Sometimes, your details reach us through trusted third parties such as travel agents, tour marketplaces, insurance providers, or a friend or family member booking on your behalf.
Booking Your Safari with Grey Joy Safari Adventures
Booking a safari is exciting, but it also requires careful planning. To make your journey seamless, we may collect specific information.

We may request your full name, passport number, nationality, and age, especially where required by airlines, national parks, or accommodation providers.

Your safety comes first. Medical details, dietary requirements, and insurance information help us prepare for emergencies and ensure your comfort.
Payment and Contact Information
We collect contact details and payment information strictly for booking confirmation and financial processing.
Sharing Information with Third-Party Providers

To deliver your safari, we work with lodges, hotels, camps, and experience providers like hot air balloon operators. We only share the information necessary for them to provide their services.
National Parks and Authorities
Certain personal details may be shared with the Tanzania National Parks Authority or other regulatory bodies where legally required.

If you book through a partner agency, we receive your information from them and treat it with the same level of confidentiality and care.
Booking on Behalf of Other Travellers
When booking for someone else, it’s your responsibility to ensure they are aware of this Privacy Policy and consent to the use of their information.
Marketing and Promotional Activities
We work with marketing partners worldwide to promote our safaris. Only generalized, non-identifiable data may be shared for marketing insights. We never sell your personal data.
