Practical Information on Tanzania Safaris

1.Best Time to Visit

Dry Season (June to October): This is the optimal time for wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources. The weather is also more pleasant with minimal rainfall.
Wet Season (November to May): The landscape is lush and green, offering fewer crowds and lower prices. January to February is particularly ideal for witnessing the calving season in the Serengeti.

2.Visa Tanzania

International travelers must obtain a visa for entry into Tanzania, which is available at major entry points or online through the eVisa portal. Single-entry visas are valid for up to 90 days, while multiple-entry visas may be available for certain nationalities. Requirements include a valid passport, a completed application form, passport-sized photos, and a visa fee. Some nationalities, like EAC citizens, are exempt.

3.Packing Essentials

Clothing: Pack lightweight, breathable clothing in neutral colors. Layering is key as temperatures can vary widely, especially in the early morning and evening.
Footwear: Bring comfortable, sturdy hiking shoes or boots, and sandals for around the campsite.
Sun Protection: Essential items include a hat, sunglasses, and high SPF sunscreen.
Insect Repellent: Mosquitoes can be an issue, so a quality repellent is a must.
Personal Items: Don’t forget basic toiletries, a first-aid kit, and any necessary medications.

4.Health Precautions

Vaccinations: Consult with a travel clinic for recommended vaccinations. A yellow fever vaccination is required if traveling from a country with yellow fever risk.
Malaria Prevention: Tanzania is a malaria zone, so consider prophylactic medication and take measures to prevent mosquito bites.
Water Safety: Stick to bottled or purified water to avoid waterborne diseases.

5.Respecting Wildlife

Keep a Safe Distance: Always follow your guide’s instructions and maintain a safe distance from animals.
Quiet Observation: Avoid loud noises and sudden movements to prevent startling the wildlife.
Food Storage: Do not keep food in your tent to avoid attracting animals.
No Littering: Keep the environment clean by avoiding littering.

6.Cultural Sensitivity

Respect Local Customs: Tanzania is culturally diverse, with many different tribes. Learn a few Swahili phrases and be respectful of local customs and traditions.
Dress Modestly: Especially when visiting local villages or towns.

7.Tipping

Tipping Guides and Staff: It’s customary to tip safari guides, drivers, and lodge staff. Typically, $10-15 per day for guides and $5-10 per day for lodge staff or chefs (for camping safaris) is standard.

8.Photography Tips

Bring Extra Batteries and Memory Cards: Safaris offer excellent photography opportunities, so ensure you have enough space and power.
Use a Zoom Lens: A zoom lens (200mm or higher) is ideal for capturing distant wildlife.

9.Booking in Advance

Plan Early: Safaris can fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons, so it’s advisable to book several weeks or months in advance.
