Passport & Visa Information
  • Passports must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended duration of stay in Tanzania.
  • Visas are required for most foreign nationals (including US, UK, and EU citizens). It is strongly recommended to apply for an eVisa online before your trip to avoid delays on arrival.
  • At least 1 to 2 blank passport pages are required for entry and exit stamps.
Air Connectivity
  • Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) is the primary gateway for the Northern Safari Circuit, while Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) serves the south and Zanzibar.
  • There are no direct flights from the US; connections are typically made via Europe (KLM), the Middle East (Qatar, Emirates), or East Africa (Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways).
  • Domestic bush flights seamlessly connect major parks and Zanzibar. Please note that light aircraft strictly enforce a luggage limit of typically 15kg (33 lbs) in soft-sided bags.
Health & Safety
  • A Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is mandatory if you are arriving from, or have had a layover longer than 12 hours in, a Yellow Fever endemic country.
  • Malaria is present throughout Tanzania, so anti-malarial medication (prophylaxis) is strongly advised for all safari-goers.
  • Travelers should stick to bottled or filtered water provided at the lodges and ensure routine vaccines (Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Tetanus) are up to date.

Common Questions

When is the best time to go on safari in Tanzania?

Tanzania offers excellent game viewing year-round, but the best time is during the dry season from June to October. If your goal is the Great Migration, visit the Southern Serengeti between January and March for the calving season, or the Northern Serengeti between June and October for the dramatic river crossings.

How many days do you need for a safari in Tanzania?

We recommend spending 7 to 10 days on safari. This allows ample time to explore the iconic Northern Circuit—including the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire—without feeling rushed. Longer stays of 10 to 14 days offer the perfect opportunity to add a relaxing beach extension in Zanzibar.

What part of Tanzania is best for a safari?

The Northern Circuit is the most popular and accessible, home to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, offering world-class Big Five viewing and the Great Migration. For travelers seeking a more remote, off-the-beaten-path experience with fewer crowds, Southern Tanzania parks like Nyerere (formerly Selous) and Ruaha are exceptional.

How much does a safari vacation in Tanzania cost?

A typical mid-range 7 to 10-day safari ranges from $4,000 to $6,500 per person, covering accommodations, park fees, and most meals. Luxury safaris featuring high-end lodges, private guides, and premium experiences like hot air ballooning start from $7,000 to $12,000+ per person. Every itinerary is custom-tailored to fit your vision and budget.
