Best Time To Visit Tanzania

The best time to visit Tanzania is during the dry season from June to October, when the weather is sunny, wildlife is easy to spot, and the Great Migration takes place in the Serengeti. For those who love lush landscapes and fewer crowds, the green season from November to March offers beautiful scenery and great bird-watching. Each season brings a unique safari experience across Tanzania's national parks and beaches.

Visa to Tanzania

Most travelers visiting Tanzania require a tourist visa, which can easily be obtained online through the official Tanzania e-Visa portal or upon arrival at major airports such as Kilimanjaro International Airport or Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam. A single-entry visa allows visitors to stay up to 90 days. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel date. Always apply early to make your Tanzania safari or Zanzibar holiday hassle-free.

Tanzania Safari Costs

The cost of a Tanzania safari depends on the type of experience you're looking for. On average, expect to spend between $250 and $2,500 per person per day, which typically includes park fees, accommodation, meals, and transportation. Prices vary based on the season, trip length, and destinations such as Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, or Tarangire National Park. Or if you choose a luxury lodge, mid-range camp, or adventurous budget camping safari.

Combine Safari and Zanzibar

Yes, you can seamlessly combine a wildlife safari in Tanzania's national parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro with the Zanzibar white sand beach time. With a quick flight from either Arusha City or Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar is an easily accessible paradise from mainland Tanzania. Let us structure a seamless adventure and beach relaxation holiday.

Packing for a Safari

It is recommended to pack the lightweight neutral-coloured clothing, comfortable shoes, a hat, and warm layers for early mornings and evenings plus beachwear for Zanzibar if it follows your safari. Other items such as passport, cash and sunglasses are important for your holiday.

Which Animals will I see?
