Tips for Planning Your Tanzania Safari

Plan your timing carefully

if you want to see the Wildebeest Migration on your safari or enjoy the best beach weather in Zanzibar, make sure your itinerary matches your travel wishes.

Book early for high season

Tanzania’s sought-after safari destinations and well-located camps at Wildebeest Migration hotspots get booked out early, often a year in advance.

Choose your activities

Morning and afternoon game drives are standard safari activities, but excursions like night game drives, guided bush walks and hot-air balloon safaris are only allowed in certain areas or camps.

Go private

if it’s exclusivity you want, then head for one of Tanzania’s private reserves. The accommodation is superb, game viewing is as good as the main parks, and extra safari activities are occasionally offered.

About

When to Visit

Tanzania’s weather is generally warm year-round, but its seasons are divided into dry and wet periods. The dry season, from June to October, is the best time for wildlife safaris, as animals gather around water sources and vegetation is sparse, making them easier to spot. The short rainy season occurs from November to December, while the long rainy season lasts from March to May. While wildlife viewing is still possible during these months, roads can be muddy, and some camps may close. The green season, from November to March, is ideal for birdwatching and witnessing the Great Migration calving in the southern Serengeti.

About

Where to Visit

Tanzania is home to some of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. The Serengeti National Park is famous for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras move in search of fresh grazing. The Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers year-round wildlife viewing in a stunning volcanic caldera. Tarangire National Park is known for its large elephant herds and towering baobab trees, while Lake Manyara National Park is perfect for spotting tree-climbing lions and diverse birdlife. For those seeking off-the-beaten-path adventures, Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park provide remote, untouched wilderness with incredible wildlife encounters. Each of these destinations has its own unique charm and is best experienced during the dry season from June to October, when animals are easier to spot.

Visa and Passport Requirements

Almost all visitors to Tanzania require a visa. You must contact the relevant issuing authorities in good time (ideally, several months in advance) to ascertain the entry requirements to Tanzania, and to arrange the necessary permits and visas. We strongly encourage all clients entering Tanzania via Kilimanjaro International Airport to obtain their visas online at Tanzania Immigration Department before arriving in Tanzania. E-visas can take 2 to 3 weeks to be issued.

Visitors to Tanzania must possess a passport that is valid for six months after the initial date of travel.
