es, most nationalities require a tourist visa. You can obtain it in three ways: apply online via the official Tanzania e-Visa portal, get it on arrival at main airports and borders, or obtain one in advance from a Tanzanian embassy. The tourist visa is valid for up to 90 days. Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your date of entry.

Tanzania is one of the most stable and tourist-friendly countries in East Africa. Whether you're on safari, relaxing in Zanzibar, or climbing Kilimanjaro, our local team ensures you're in good hands. We work with experienced guides, well-maintained vehicles, and trusted accommodations. Like any destination, you should remain cautious in busy areas and follow local advice, but overall, Tanzania is very welcoming and safe for travelers.

Yes, travel insurance is essential. It should cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and baggage loss. For Kilimanjaro treks, you must have coverage for high-altitude trekking (up to 6,000 meters) and emergency evacuation. We recommend confirming these details with your provider before departure.

The Great Migration is one of nature’s most spectacular events, involving over 1.5 million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and gazelles as they move through the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems in search of fresh grazing. In Tanzania, the best time to witness it is:

• January–March: Calving season in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu

• June–July: River crossings in the western Serengeti

• July–October: Iconic Mara River crossings in the northern Serengeti

• November–December: Return migration southwards
  We help you plan your trip around the specific phase of the migration you want to experience.

The Big Five includes the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—originally named by hunters as the most difficult animals to track on foot. You can see all of them in Tanzania.

• Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater offer high chances of spotting lions, elephants, and buffalo.

• Leopards are more elusive but common in Serengeti and Tarangire.

• Rhinos are rare, but black rhinos can be seen in Ngorongoro Crater.
  We work with expert guides to increase your chances of spotting all five.

Tanzania offers a wide variety of world-class parks:

• Serengeti National Park – Known for the Great Migration and endless savannahs

• Ngorongoro Crater – A UNESCO World Heritage Site with the highest density of large animals in Africa

• Tarangire National Park – Famous for giant baobab trees and huge elephant herds

• Lake Manyara National Park – Known for flamingos, tree-climbing lions, and diverse birdlife

• Ruaha & Selous (Nyerere NP) – Remote and wild, perfect for off-the-beaten-path safaris
  We’ll recommend parks based on the season, your interests, and travel time.

Tanzania is home to over 4 million wild animals across 430+ species. You can see lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, cheetahs, leopards, crocodiles, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, antelope, and more. Birdwatchers will find over 1,100 bird species, including flamingos, eagles, and bee-eaters.

A game drive is a guided wildlife tour in a specially equipped 4x4 safari vehicle. Most game drives take place in the early morning and late afternoon when animals are most active. Full-day drives with packed lunches are also available. You’ll be accompanied by an experienced guide who tracks animals and shares insights about their behavior.

While we can’t guarantee specific sightings due to the nature of the wild, Tanzania’s parks offer exceptionally high chances of seeing iconic animals, including the Big Five. Our local guides are trained trackers and know the best places and times to increase your chances of unforgettable wildlife encounters.

We use customized 4x4 Land Cruisers with pop-up roofs for better wildlife viewing and photography. All vehicles are well-maintained, fitted with charging ports, refrigerators or coolers, and comfortable seating. Private safaris mean you’ll have the vehicle to yourselves.

Yes! Many lodges are family-friendly and some parks offer shorter game drives and interactive programs for kids. We design itineraries with the right pace and comfort to keep children engaged, safe, and excited.

Absolutely. Tanzania has some of Africa’s most luxurious safari lodges and tented camps, offering private chefs, infinity pools, spa treatments, and stunning bush views. Whether it’s a honeymoon, special celebration, or simply a desire to travel in style, we can tailor a luxury safari just for you.

Options range from budget camps to mid-range lodges and luxury tented suites. Most safari accommodations are inside or near the parks, offering comfort, safety, and immersive nature experiences. All packages include en-suite bathrooms, full board meals, and professional service.

Pack light, neutral-colored clothing, a hat, sunglasses, insect repellent, binoculars, a camera, sunblock, and a lightweight jacket for cool mornings. We’ll provide a full checklist tailored to the time of year and parks you’re visiting.

Yes, certain areas like Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Nyerere National Parks, and private conservancies offer guided walking safaris. These experiences bring you closer to nature and allow you to learn about animal tracks, plants, and smaller creatures missed on game drives. Walks are led by armed rangers and expert naturalists.

Our Kilimanjaro treks include national park fees, professional certified mountain guides, experienced porters, camping or hut accommodations, three daily meals, safe drinking water, tents, and airport/hotel transfers. We also provide emergency oxygen, pulse oximeters, and first-aid support. Accommodation in Moshi or Arusha before and after the climb is typically included, depending on the package.

The best route depends on your preferences and fitness.

• Machame Route ("Whiskey Route") is scenic and popular, with good acclimatization.

• Lemosho Route offers beautiful views and a high success rate, with fewer crowds.

• Rongai Route is the only route approaching from the north, drier and quieter.

• Marangu Route ("Coca-Cola Route") has hut accommodations but lower success rates due to rapid ascent.

We’ll help you choose based on your goals, schedule, and experience.

Yes, travel insurance is essential. It should cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and baggage loss. For Kilimanjaro treks, you must have coverage for high-altitude trekking (up to 6,000 meters) and emergency evacuation. We recommend confirming these details with your provider before departure.

Altitude sickness is a real risk above 3,000 meters, and Kilimanjaro reaches 5,895 meters. We mitigate this by using routes with gradual ascent, scheduling acclimatization days, and monitoring your oxygen levels daily. Symptoms like headache, nausea, or dizziness are common, but our guides are trained to recognize and respond to serious cases quickly. Hydration, proper pacing, and rest are essential.

You'll need layered clothing (for hot days and freezing summit nights), good hiking boots, a warm sleeping bag (rated to -10°C), a daypack, headlamp, trekking poles, and personal toiletries. We provide a full packing checklist and can help you rent high-quality gear in Tanzania if needed.

Kilimanjaro treks take between 5 to 9 days, depending on the route and number of acclimatization days. We recommend at least 7 days for a higher summit success rate. Remember: the more gradual the ascent, the better your body adapts to altitude.

Yes, all meals are freshly prepared by our mountain chefs. The menu includes energy-rich foods such as pasta, rice, vegetables, eggs, meat (where possible), fruits, and snacks. We also accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs. Drinking water is purified and provided daily.

Showers are not available on the mountain. However, we provide warm water for washing your face and hands each day. Many trekkers use wet wipes or camping hygiene kits to stay refreshed during the climb.
