All about Tanzania

When to Visit

The ideal time to visit Tanzania depends on your plans. The dry seasons, from June to October and January to February, are perfect for safaris, as wildlife congregates around waterholes. For the Great Migration in the Serengeti, plan your trip between June and September. The green season from November to May offers lush landscapes and fewer crowds, though some parks may have limited accessibility due to rain. Zanzibar is a year-round destination, but March to May can bring heavy rains.

Getting Around

Tanzania’s vast landscapes require thoughtful planning to get around. Domestic flights are the fastest way to travel between safari destinations, Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar. On land, safari tours often include guided transfers, while buses are a budget-friendly option for local travel. In cities like Dar es Salaam and Arusha, taxis and ride-hailing apps are common. Always confirm transportation schedules, as they can vary by season and weather conditions.

Traveler Tips

Pack lightweight, breathable clothing for the tropical climate, but bring warmer layers for mountain treks or cool safari evenings. Stay hydrated and drink only bottled or purified water. Take anti-malarial precautions and consider vaccinations before traveling. Respect local customs by dressing modestly in rural areas and on the mainland. Sample local dishes like Ugali and Swahili curries. A good pair of binoculars and a camera are essential for capturing Tanzania's incredible wildlife and landscapes.
