What to Know Before You Go

Best Time to Visit

Tanzania's dry seasons — late June to October and January to February — provide the best overall conditions. Vegetation is thinner, animals concentrate around water, and the Great Wildebeest Migration river crossings peak July to September. The wet seasons bring lower prices and fewer visitors but more challenging roads.

Health Requirements

Yellow fever vaccination is required if arriving from an endemic country and recommended regardless. Malaria prophylaxis is advisable for all mainland Tanzania. Consult a travel health clinic at least four to six weeks before departure.

What to Bring

Neutral-coloured clothing (khaki, olive, tan) is standard on safari. Bright colours attract insects. Bring a wide-brimmed hat, high-SPF sunscreen, insect repellent with DEET, and binoculars (8x magnification minimum). A headlamp is useful for early morning departures.

Frequently Asked Questions

On a 5-day safari through Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, you can expect excellent Big Five sightings. The Serengeti has the highest lion density in Africa and strong leopard populations in riverine areas. Ngorongoro Crater has one of the highest wildlife concentrations per square kilometre anywhere on earth. Tarangire is exceptional for elephants. Wildebeest migration crossings peak July-September.

From $1,100 per person: return airport transfers, all park and conservation fees, 4x4 Land Cruiser with pop-up roof, experienced guide-driver, all accommodation as specified, all meals during the safari, and bottled water. Not included: international flights, Tanzania visa fees (~$50), travel insurance, gratuities, and personal expenses.

Late June to October is the main dry season — best overall for Big Five sightings and the Great Migration river crossings (July-September). January-February is excellent for predator activity. April-May (main rains) and November-December (short rains) are lower-season with lower prices.

We use purpose-built 4x4 Toyota Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs. Private safaris have the vehicle exclusively for your group. Group joining shares with up to 5 other travelers.

“The guide's knowledge of the Serengeti was exceptional — he knew where the cheetahs would be before we arrived at the area. Three sightings in one morning.”
