When planning your safari wardrobe, comfort and practicality are key.
Wild animals in Tanzania's parks are generally not dangerous as long as you follow the rules. Attacks are extremely rare but respecting wildlife and adhering to safety guidelines is crucial. Always stay inside your vehicle during game drives unless instructed otherwise. Listen carefully to your driver-guide, who is experienced in managing wildlife encounters. In safari camps, especially unfenced ones, avoid wandering alone, particularly at night. An escort will typically accompany you after dark for added safety. Small children require extra supervision to ensure their safety around wildlife.
No, we provide airport transfers as part of our Tanzania Safari Package. We can also arrange group transport if required. Just let us know your needs in advance.
A day on safari is a perfect blend of exploration and relaxation:
Absolutely. We cater to various dietary requirements, including medical (Coeliac, food allergies), ethical (vegetarian, vegan), and religious (kosher). Please inform us in advance so we can prepare.
Roads between towns and national parks are generally well-maintained, except for the road to the Serengeti. Inside the parks, roads are rough and can be muddy during the rainy season and dusty during the dry season.
Pack light, focusing on essentials for comfort and safety:
Keeping it simple ensures a hassle-free journey.
Tipping is customary and greatly appreciated in Tanzania’s safari culture. Here’s a guideline:
Tipping is optional, but it’s a meaningful way to show appreciation for the team’s hard work in making your safari memorable.
We use reliable Toyota 4X4 Land Cruisers equipped with open roofs for the best wildlife viewing. Our vehicles are spacious, well-maintained, and designed to handle Tanzania’s rugged terrain. Our driver guides are experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife and safari tours. In the unlikely event of a vehicle breakdown, replacements are quickly arranged to ensure your safari continues uninterrupted.
Most lodges have outlets for recharging batteries, though the electrical current may be weaker than usual. Tanzania uses 220v electricity, so bring the appropriate converters and adapters (Type D & Type G). Our safari trucks also have charging ports.
The Great Migration is a year-round spectacle, but key moments occur in specific seasons:
These peak times are highly sought after, so book your safari early to secure your spot.
Walking around Moshi and Arusha during the day is generally safe, but keep your valuables hidden to avoid attracting unwanted attention. At night, it’s best to avoid walking alone or in unfamiliar areas for your safety.
To enter Tanzania, you’ll need:
Double-check these requirements before your journey to avoid delays.
While no vaccinations are mandatory, these are highly recommended for travel to Tanzania:
Consult your doctor or travel clinic for personalized advice before your trip.
Many lodges offer free Wi-Fi, but the speed and quality can differ. It’s usually good for basic tasks like checking emails or making WhatsApp calls, but it might not handle streaming or large downloads. For internet access on your phone while travelling, you can buy a local SIM card with a data plan at airports or shops. Airtel is a great choice because it has excellent network coverage across Tanzania.
