When is the best time for Tanzania safaris?

The best time is during the dry season, June to October, when animals gather around waterholes and are easiest to spot. This is also when the Great Migration crosses the Mara River in northern Serengeti. However, Tanzania is a year-round destination, and each season offers something different.

What should I pack for Tanzania safaris?

Bring light, neutral-colored clothing for the daytime and a warm jacket for early mornings and evenings. Also pack comfortable walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, binoculars, a camera, personal medications, and insect repellent. We'll send you a detailed packing list before your trip.

What is the Great Migration, and when can I see it on a Tanzania safari?

The Great Migration is the movement of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles across the Serengeti and Kenya's Maasai Mara in search of fresh grazing. Then river crossings happen roughly June–July in the northern Serengeti. Meanwhile, calving season runs December–March on the southern plains.

How long should Tanzania safaris be?

Most safaris run 3 to 10 days. For example, a 3–4 day trip can cover Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara comfortably. However, for a fuller experience that includes the Serengeti and the Great Migration, 7–10 days is ideal.

What accommodation can I expect on Tanzania safaris?

We offer options for every preference. For instance, budget camping comes with shared facilities, while comfortable mid-range lodges have en-suite bathrooms. Luxury tented camps go further, with private bathrooms, gourmet meals, and stunning views of the wilderness.

Do I need vaccinations or a visa for Tanzania safaris?

Check with your healthcare provider about recommended vaccinations, because rules differ. For example, Yellow Fever is mandatory if you arrive from an endemic country, and anti-malaria medication is advised. Most travelers also need a visa, which is available on arrival at major airports and borders or online in advance. However, requirements vary by nationality.

How much should I tip on Tanzania safaris?

As a general guideline, tip your safari guide $10–$15 per person per day. In addition, cooks on camping safaris usually receive $5–$10 per person per day, and lodge staff share a pooled tip of $5–$10 per day. We'll walk you through our full tipping guidance before you travel.

Can I do a Tanzania safari with children?

Yes, safari is a wonderful family adventure, because most parks welcome children and many lodges offer family-friendly services. In addition, we can help you choose parks and lodges suited to younger travelers.
