The best time for safari is during the dry season from June to October when
wildlife congregates around water sources,
making viewing easier. However, Tanzania offers excellent safari experiences
year-round. January to February is ideal
for witnessing the wildebeest calving season, while the green season (March to
May) offers lush landscapes and fewer
tourists.
Most visitors can obtain a visa on arrival at Tanzanian airports for $50–100
USD, depending on nationality. We recommend
applying for an e-visa online before your trip for a smoother arrival process.
Your passport must be valid for at least
6 months from your entry date.
A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is mandatory if traveling from or through
yellow fever endemic countries. We also
recommend vaccinations for Hepatitis A & B, Typhoid, and Tetanus. Malaria
prophylaxis is advised for most areas. Consult
your doctor at least 6–8 weeks before travel.
US Dollars are widely accepted throughout Tanzania, especially for tourism
services. The local currency is Tanzanian
Shilling (TZS), useful for small purchases and tips. ATMs are available in major
cities. Credit cards are accepted at
most hotels and lodges, though cash is preferred in remote areas.
Pack lightweight, neutral-colored clothing (khaki, beige, olive), comfortable
walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat,
sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars, and camera equipment with
extra batteries. Bring warm layers as
early mornings and evenings can be cool. Most lodges offer laundry services, so
you can pack light.
