Must-Know Travel Essentials

Tanzania, in East Africa, is a top destination for wildlife enthusiasts with over 22 national parks. While the Serengeti is famous for the Great Migration, lesser-known gems like Mikumi National Park offer diverse landscapes and wildlife. Tanzania provides an authentic safari experience, showcasing majestic animals in their natural habitats and emphasizing conservation efforts. It's a must-visit for those seeking an unforgettable wildlife adventure.

Typical Duration of the Trip

Tanzania wildlife safaris usually last 3 to 10 days, letting you explore specific parks or multiple locations. The duration depends on your preferences and chosen itinerary. A brief three-day trip could take you to Zanzibar, but for a thorough wildlife experience, aim for at least a week, focusing on the "Northern Circuit." Two weeks allow exploration of multiple regions, and those trekking Mt. Kilimanjaro need a minimum of one week.

FAQs on packages

How much does a safari cost in Tanzania?

Prices can vary. Mid-range safaris (4-6 days) can range from $1,500 to $4,000/person. Luxury options exceed $10,000, while budget safaris start around $1,000. Factors include accommodation, duration, and inclusions.

What are the top 5 animals in Tanzania?

In Tanzania, the top animals are lions in the Serengeti, elephants in Tarangire, leopards in diverse areas, Cape buffaloes as part of the "Big Five," and wildebeests during the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti.

Is safari better in Tanzania or Kenya?

Choosing between a safari in Kenya and Tanzania depends on what you like and your budget. Kenya is famous for the Maasai Mara, with smaller parks that are easy to reach and might be more affordable. It's great for wildlife and different landscapes, but some places can be crowded.
Tanzania has the big Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, offering amazing wildlife, especially during the Great Wildebeest Migration. Tanzania's parks are spread out, which might make the overall cost a bit higher, but it gives you a chance for a more off-the-beaten-path experience in some areas with diverse ecosystems.

Why are Tanzania safaris so expensive?

Tanzania safaris can be pricey because the country has vast and diverse wilderness areas, making it more expensive for safari operators to manage. Conservation fees, essential for protecting Tanzania's wildlife, are usually included in safari packages. The remote locations of many wildlife destinations mean higher costs for transportation and accommodations. Having professional guides, crucial for a successful safari, also adds to the overall expense.

What is the best time for safari in Tanzania?

The best time for a Tanzania safari is from late June to October during the dry season. Wildlife gathers around water sources, and visibility is best. This is also when the Great Wildebeest Migration happens in the Serengeti, making it a popular time for safaris. Read More

How safe is Tanzania safari?

Tanzania safaris are generally safe, but travellers should follow guidelines, choose reputable operators, and stay informed about the current situation. Common precautions, like avoiding wildlife close encounters, contribute to a secure safari experience.

Is safari cheaper in Kenya or Tanzania?

Safaris can be relatively cheaper in Kenya due to a wider range of budget options and more accessible parks. Tanzania's safaris may be pricier, attributed to its expansive wilderness, exclusive experiences, and higher operational costs.

How many days do you need in Tanzania?

For a well-rounded Tanzania trip, plan for at least 7-10 days to cover key spots like Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. If you have specific areas in mind, a shorter trip might work.

What is the cheapest way to do a safari in Tanzania?

You can save money on a Tanzania safari by staying in budget accommodations, joining group tours to share costs, and exploring less-known parks with lower entry fees.

What is the best area to stay in Tanzania?

Arusha is a popular base for safaris, offering proximity to key national parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The island of Zanzibar is also a favourite for its beautiful beaches and cultural attractions.
