The best time for dry season safaris is during the dry season from June to October when wildlife viewing is optimal. However, the parks are beautiful year-round, with green landscapes during the wet season (November to May).
Pack light, neutral-colored clothing (khaki, beige), a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, comfortable walking shoes, binoculars, and a camera. A light jacket is recommended for early morning and evening game drives. For luxury accommodations, bring elegant evening wear for dining experiences.
Yes, dry season safari is suitable for children aged 6 and above. Children under 6 may find the long drives and camping experience challenging. Please inform us in advance if traveling with young children so we can make necessary arrangements.
Ngorongoro Crater has excellent chances of seeing the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino). Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire also offer good opportunities for seeing most of the Big Five. While wildlife viewing is never guaranteed, our experienced guides maximize your chances.
Accommodation is included in selected luxury lodges/camps in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and near Ngorongoro. We offer options from budget to luxury lodges. Please specify your preference when booking, and we'll confirm availability and pricing.
Yes, all meals are included from breakfast on day 1 to dinner on day 7. We provide packed lunches during game drives and dinners at your accommodation. Special dietary requirements can be accommodated if notified in advance.
Our safari vehicles accommodate a maximum of 6-7 passengers to ensure everyone has a window seat and optimal viewing experience. Private safaris are available at an additional cost.
Consult your doctor or travel clinic for specific recommendations. Commonly recommended vaccinations include yellow fever, hepatitis A & B, typhoid, and routine immunizations. Malaria prophylaxis is also recommended for Tanzania.
