Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to go on safari in Tanzania?
The dry season (June to October) offers the best wildlife viewing, as animals congregate around water sources. The wildebeest migration peaks in the Serengeti from July to September. The green season (November to May) offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and lower rates.
What is the Big Five and will I see them?
The Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino — are all present in Tanzania. You are highly likely to see lions, elephants, and buffalo in most parks. Leopards require a keen eye, and rhinos are most reliably seen at Ngorongoro Crater.
Is a safari safe for children?
Yes, many of our family-friendly safaris are designed specifically for children. We recommend private vehicles, shorter game drives, and lodges with family facilities. Children aged 6+ generally enjoy the experience most. See our family safaris for more details.
What should I pack for a Tanzania safari?
Lightweight, neutral-coloured clothing, a warm layer for morning game drives, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, binoculars, and a camera with a zoom lens. See our complete packing list for details.
