Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time to visit Tanzania?
The best time depends on what you want to see. For the Great Migration, visit June–October. For fewer crowds and greener landscapes visit during the short rains (November–December) or the long rains (March–May).
Do I need a visa for Tanzania?
Most visitors need a visa. You can obtain a visa on arrival at major entry points or apply online in advance where available. Visa fees and rules vary by nationality—check the official Tanzanian government or your embassy website for current details.
What vaccinations do I need?
Yellow fever vaccination is required for travelers arriving from countries with risk of yellow fever transmission. We also recommend consulting a travel health clinic for malaria prophylaxis and routine vaccines (e.g., tetanus, hepatitis A). Requirements can change, so check with your healthcare provider before travel.
What should I pack for a safari?
Pack neutral-colored clothing (beige, olive, khaki), lightweight layers for warm days and cool mornings, a wide-brim hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, comfortable walking shoes, and a good camera with extra batteries. We provide a detailed packing list when you book.
How safe is Tanzania for tourists?
Tanzania is generally safe for tourists. We work with experienced local guides, provide 24/7 support during safaris, and follow strict safety protocols. Standard travel precautions apply: keep valuables secure, follow guide instructions, and avoid isolated areas at night.
Can I use my credit card in Tanzania?
Major hotels, lodges and some tour operators accept international credit cards (Visa/Mastercard). In remote areas and local markets cash (Tanzanian shillings or USD) is preferred. Notify your bank before travel to avoid card blocks.
