Security precaution on safari.

Be sure to follow the tips for safety precautions in Tanzanian safaris, so as to have safe and enjoyable moments during your safari.

People in Tanzania are very good and polite but still you have to be careful when you are around the city center with valuable things and big camera hanging around on your neck. Never walk at night alone instead it’s better to use transport, your local guides or nearby hotel.

Make sure you record a number of your passport, airline tickets, traveler checks and credit cards and keep them in a safe place.It is extremely rare for incidents to occur and always your professional guide is there to ensure your safety. Below are the tips to ensure your safety during safaris.

Always follow your guide’s instructions and guidelines.
Stay in the car during game drives except at designated areas where you are allowed to get out of the car.
Never walk off far to a bush it’s better to ask for advice from your guide about where to go
Don’t stand up in the car, hang out of the window or sit on the roof.
Don’t drive too close to animals if you are on a self-drive safari.

What is the Great Migration?

The Great Migration – also called the Great Wildlife Migration – is an enormous, continuous and roughly circular migration across the plains and woodlands of Tanzania and Kenya by two million wildebeests, zebras and antelopes. It’s the largest land-based migration in the world. Witnessing thousands-strong herds stretched out in front of you is a sight you never forget.

What are the Big Five?

The Big Five are lion, leopard, bush elephant, black rhino and Cape buffalo. These are the animals considered to be the hardest and most dangerous to hunt on foot.

How long do I need for safari?

This is obviously a hard question to answer. The longer you spend on safari, the more animals you’ll see, and the greater the variety you’re likely to spot. If you’re hoping to spot the Big Five, for instance, one day in all likelihood won’t cut it. But if you give yourself four to five days, you might well manage it.

What we can say is that you need to factor in driving times when heading on a safari. For instance, from Kilimanjaro International Airport (gateway to the Northern Circuit), you can reach reserves like Arusha National Park and Lake Manyara National Park within hours and go on safari that same day. But Serengeti National Park, fon the other hand, is quite a drive, so you should factor in a day of travel each way. Fortunately, the drive to Serengeti takes you past Ngorongoro Crater, which is a MUST, as well as some other attractions worth a visit like Olduvai Gorge.

Please chat to us for advice on how long is needed based on what you want to see.

When is the best time to visit the Serengeti

Everyone has his priorities and things they want to see some people want to see baby animals being born, for instance, while others want to see as many animals as possible. Still others want good birdspotting, some want to see flowers, and some want to see the animals in a lush setting. And of course, many want to see the Great Wildlife Migration and its chaotic river crossings. Please read Best Time to Visit the Serengeti to identify the best months for each of the above-mentioned highlights. Also, feel free to chat with us so we can advise you.
