Tanzania Safari FAQs

The best time largely depends on personal preferences. The dry season (June to October) is popular for wildlife viewing due to sparse vegetation, while the wet season (November to May) showcases lush landscapes and fewer tourists.

Tanzania is renowned for its diverse wildlife. Expect to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros), wildebeests, zebras, giraffes, cheetahs, and an array of bird species in renowned parks like the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire.

Popular parks include the Serengeti for the Great Migration, the Ngorongoro Crater for its unique ecosystem, and Tarangire for its large elephant herds. Other options include Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park.

Safari durations vary based on personal preferences and budget. A week-long safari allows for in-depth exploration, while shorter 3-4 day safaris offer a taste of the experience.

Accommodations range from luxurious lodges to tented camps, budget camps, and mobile camps. Choose based on comfort preferences and budget.

The Great Migration is an annual movement of wildebeest and other animals across the Serengeti ecosystem. It occurs year-round, with specific times (generally between June and August) witnessing river crossings.
