Why Tanzania
Few places pack this much variety into one trip. The northern circuit delivers big horizons and efficient logistics; the south trades crowds for river safaris and long, empty views. A large share of the country is conserved through parks and reserves—wildlife areas alone cover about 28%, and some estimates place total protected land closer to 38%—one reason wildlife viewing stays strong year-round.
Where to go (by circuit)
Northern Circuit

Serengeti National Park

FAQs
Short, honest answers to the questions we’re asked most. If you don’t see yours here, just ask.
How much does a Tanzania safari cost?
Season, lodge tier, and private vs shared vehicles drive price. We quote clearly with no surprises.
When is best for the Great Migration?
Dry season is June–October overall; river crossings typically July–October up north. Calving is most reliable January–February in the south.
How many days should I plan?
Seven to ten nights hits a natural rhythm. Add Zanzibar for a gentler landing before you fly home.
North vs south—what’s right for me?
North = iconic, efficient, lots of variety. South = quieter, river and walking options, more space between sightings.
Is a Tanzania safari good for families?
Yes—shorter drive windows, adjoining tents, kid-friendly guides, and plenty of pool breaks make it work well.
Do I need vaccines or yellow fever proof?
Requirements change. As of now: if you travel direct from non–yellow fever risk countries (e.g., the U.S./UK), a yellow fever certificate isn’t required. If you arrive from—or transit for 12+ hours through—a country with yellow fever risk, you must show a valid vaccination certificate. We’ll share the latest official guidance before you travel.
Always consult your clinician for personal vaccine advice (e.g., Hep A, Typhoid, etc.).
