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.

Bring Extra Batteries and Memory Cards: Safaris offer excellent photography opportunities, so ensure you have enough space and power.
