Essential Information
Dry Season (June - October): Peak safari season with excellent wildlife viewing. Animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot. The Great Migration crosses the Mara River during July-September.
Green Season (November - May): Lower rates, fewer crowds, and lush landscapes. Perfect for bird watching and witnessing the wildebeest calving season in the Serengeti (January-February).
Year-Round Destinations: Zanzibar offers beautiful beaches throughout the year, though the best months are June-October and December-February.
Clothing: Neutral colors (khaki, olive, beige), layered clothing for temperature changes, comfortable walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, and a warm fleece for early morning game drives.
Essentials: Quality sunglasses, high SPF sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars, camera with zoom lens, and any personal medications.
Tips: Avoid bright colors that may disturb wildlife. Pack light—most camps offer laundry services. Bring a good dust cover for camera equipment.
Vaccinations: Consult your doctor 6-8 weeks before travel. Yellow fever vaccination may be required. Recommended: Hepatitis A/B, Typhoid, and current routine vaccinations.
Malaria: Tanzania is a malaria zone. Consult with a travel medicine specialist about antimalarial medication. Use mosquito repellent and sleep under treated nets.
