Tanzania

Wildlife Safaris

We recommend spending seven days on safari in Tanzania to make the most of the experience. However, spending a fortnight here will allow you to explore the numerous iconic regions and maximise your adventure on safari. 

Known as a safari capital, Tanzania is the home of many famous safari locations, including Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Serengeti National Park. All these locations have the potential to be the best safari in Tanzania based on your preferences.

We suggest scheduling your Tanzania safari holiday during the long-dry season between July and September. This is the best time for safari in Tanzania due to the great migration over river crossings, while less grass and bush density make it easier to spot the wildlife.

Numerous locations in Tanzania would offer an incredible stay during your safari. We’d recommend at least two or three nights in a Ngorongoro Crater lodge alongside seeking some Lake Eyasi accommodation to see the flamingo and white pelicans.

The best location to fly to is Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you can meet your trusted Tanzania adventure planner, who can transfer you comfortably to your first location.

Considered the safari capital of Africa, Tanzania is safe for tourists to visit, with the government making the safety of foreign tourism a main priority. However, tourists are still encouraged to take precautions and choose an official adventure planner provider with proven experience in arranging safari holidays.

We recommend bringing the following items to make the most of your Tanzania safari adventure:

• Camera
• Binoculars
• Sunscreen
• Hand sanitiser
• Eco-friendly wet wipes
• Insect repellent
• Basic first aid and prescriptions medicines
• Malaria tablets
• Handheld torch/Headtorch
• Necessary chargers, batteries and power adapters
• Personal toiletries (Soap, shampoo, toothpaste etc.)

Despite the beauty of the environment, it pays to be practical out on the savannah. Keep your colours neutral and aim to bring layers to abide the hot day temperatures and cold declines at night. We don’t recommend bright, white, and black colour clothes as you should try to blend in with the natural surroundings.

• Boots or sturdy sandals
• Sun hat
• Sunglasses
• Robust shorts with deep pockets
• T-shirts, polo necks, and lightweight long-sleeve shirts
• Jumper, fleece or pullover jacket for when it gets cold
• Light Long trousers or convertible long-short trousers are ideal
• Cotton socks and underwear
