Tanzania Travel Guide

PREPARATION TIPS FOR TRAVELLING

A Tanzania Safari Tour adventure first of all requires thoughtful preparation to ensure an enjoyable experience.

  • Begin by familiarizing yourself with Tanzanian culture, customs, and entry requirements.
  • Consider consulting with a healthcare professional to discuss vaccinations and health precautions.
  • Additionally, we recommend obtaining comprehensive travel insurance to cover unforeseen circumstances.
  • For safari enthusiasts, understanding the wildlife and ecosystems you'll encounter enhances the appreciation of the journey.

To complement all this, you can rely on our guides who navigate you through these essential preparations, ensuring you're well-equipped for the wonders that await in Tanzania.

EXPECTATION LEVELS

Setting the right levels of expectations is important for a fulfilling Tanzania Travel adventure. The country is a land of diverse experiences – on the spectrum ranging from exhilarating wildlife safaris to more toned-down relaxation along the coast.

  • Understand that the pace of life in Tanzania may differ from what you're accustomed to, allowing for a more relaxed and immersive journey.
  • Wildlife sightings are natural, yet unpredictable, contributing to the authenticity of the safari experience.
  • Embrace the warmth of Tanzanian hospitality and the vibrant culture that colours your journey.

Above all, set realistic goals when considering the varying accommodations, transportation options, and the blend of adventure and relaxation, ensuring your expectations align with the unique offerings of Tanzania.

PACKING ESSENTIALS

Essential items for the Tanzania Packing List include lightweight and breathable clothing for warm days, layers for cooler evenings, and comfortable walking shoes for explorations. Don't forget to pack a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen for sun protection.

For safari excursions, neutral-coloured clothing is advisable, and binoculars enhance wildlife viewing. Form a detailed checklist of the Things to Pack for Tanzania, ensuring you have essentials such as travel documents, necessary medications, and a universal power adapter. By packing thoughtfully, you'll be prepared for the varying climates and experiences of Tanzania.

BEST TIME FOR TRAVEL

Landing in Tanzania at the optimal times is key to maximizing the travel experience. The dry season from June to October is ideal for safari tours and the different Things to do in Tanzania.

  • The reason for this is because animals gather around different water sources.
  • Combining this with the fact that the vegetation is shorter (making animal sightings easier) results in a winning experience.
  • The Great Migration in the Serengeti typically occurs from July to September.
  • The dry season is also favourable for beach holidays in Zanzibar.

On the flip side, the wet season from November to May brings lush landscapes and vibrant birdlife, though some areas might be challenging to access. We suggest first figuring out your priorities and then selecting a suitable time.

We (2 adults plus 2 kids aged 9+11) undertook a 10 day trip to Arusha, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. We wanted an individual tour which included not only game driving but some insights into socio-cultural life in Tanzania (the kids attended a local school for two days and we wanted to spend some time with the Datoga tribe and bushmen at Lake Eyasi)
