TANZANIA SAFARI

Tanzania is one of Africa’s top safari destinations, famous for its breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich culture.

Safaris here combine game drives, cultural encounters, and even beach extensions in Zanzibar for a perfect African holiday.

FAQs

Do I need a visa for this safari?

Most travelers require a visa to enter [Kenya/Tanzania/Uganda/etc., depending on your safari location]. You can usually apply online for an e-Visa before arrival. Visa fees and requirements vary by nationality, so we recommend checking with the official immigration website of your destination. Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates and have at least 2 blank pages.

Can you accommodate special dietary needs?

Yes! Most lodges and camps are happy to cater to special dietary requirements such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, or allergies. Please let us know your preferences at the time of booking so we can make arrangements in advance.

What does a typical day on safari look like?

Most safari days start early in the morning when wildlife is most active. You’ll usually have a light breakfast, then head out on a game drive. After returning to the lodge for brunch or lunch, you can relax during the hottest part of the day. In the afternoon, another game drive awaits, followed by dinner and time to unwind by the campfire.

Will I see the “Big Five”?

The Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino) are often seen on safari, but wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed. That’s part of the adventure! Our guides are highly experienced and know the best spots and times for wildlife viewing, maximizing your chances.

Is the safari private or with a group?

We offer both options. You can join a shared safari with other travelers (a great way to meet new people) or book a private safari for your family, friends, or partner for a more personalized experience.

Will I need special vaccinations or malaria protection?

Yes, depending on your safari destination. Common recommendations include yellow fever vaccination and malaria prophylaxis. Always check with your doctor or a travel clinic before traveling.
