Popular questions about Tanzania Safaris

Curious about what to expect on your safari? We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions to help you prepare for your adventure.

Tanzania is one of the safest destinations in East Africa. The locals are generous, friendly, and eager to help visitors. However, you need to take the necessary precautions, including storing your valuables in the hotel safe and carrying only what’s necessary (camera equipment, cards, cash, jewelry, or any other valuables). On a safari, your safety will be in the hands of your guide. Make sure that you follow everything your guide says and do not wander around in the wild.

Usually, safari tours and packages are prepaid which includes airfares, meals, vehicles, lodges, camps, and some or all activities. Once this is settled before you depart from home, on the safari you will need money to tip the guides and accommodation staff, and buy any souvenirs, drinks, and optional activities. Some of these can be paid for with credit cards, and some you will need cash for. Around 50-100 pounds or dollars is probably the most you’ll need to spend per day in Tanzania, plus you can carry traveler cheques and credit cards.

Depending on your medical history and travel itinerary, certain vaccines may be required, such as yellow fever. It is recommended to get vaccinated at least 4-6 weeks before your trip, in order to give your body enough time to develop immunity.

When planning a safari in Tanzania, there are a few things you need to consider:

  • The time of year: The best time to go on safari in Tanzania is during the dry season, which is from June to September and December to March. During this time, the animals are more concentrated and the visibility is better.

  • The budget: Safaris can range in price from budget-friendly to luxury. It is important to set a budget before you start planning your trip.

  • The type of safari: There are two main types of safaris: self-drive safaris and guided safaris. Self-drive safaris are more affordable, but they require you to have a valid driver's license and to be comfortable driving on dirt roads. Guided safaris are more expensive, but they offer the convenience of having a guide who can help you spot animals and learn about the local wildlife.

  • The accommodation: There are a variety of accommodation options available in Tanzania, ranging from budget-friendly campsites to luxury lodges. It is important to choose accommodation that fits your budget and style.
