Practical Information

Everything you need to know to prepare for your Tanzanian journey.

When to Travel

Tanzania is a year-round destination, but the best time depends on what you want to see:

  • June to October (Dry Season): Best for game viewing. The Great Migration is in the Northern Serengeti (Mara River crossings).
  • January to March (Green Season): Calving season in the Southern Serengeti. Lush landscapes and excellent birding.
  • April to May (Long Rains): Low season. Fewer crowds, lower rates, but some camps may close.

Visas & Entry

Most visitors require a visa to enter Tanzania.

  • E-Visa: We strongly recommend applying for the Online Visa at least 3 weeks before travel to avoid queues on arrival.
  • Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates with at least one blank page.
  • Vaccinations: Yellow Fever certification is required only if traveling from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission (including transit >12 hours).

Sustainable Travel

We are committed to preserving Tanzania for future generations.

  • Plastic Ban: Tanzania has a strict ban on single-use plastic bags. Please pack using reusable bags or packing cubes.
  • Respecting Wildlife: We maintain strict distance protocols. We observe, we do not disturb.
  • Cultural Etiquette: Always ask for permission before photographing people. We facilitate meaningful interactions, not "human zoos."
