The best time to visit Tanzania depends on the type of experience you’re seeking. For wildlife safaris, the dry season from June to October is ideal, as animals congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. For beach holidays, Zanzibar and other coastal areas are great year-round destinations.
Tanzania is home to many incredible attractions, including:
- Serengeti National Park – Famous for the Great Migration and abundant wildlife.
- Ngorongoro Crater – A UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to a rich variety of animals.
- Mount Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest peak, offering trekking opportunities.
- Zanzibar – Known for its stunning beaches, historical sites, and spice farms.
- Tarangire National Park – Famous for its large herds of elephants and unique baobab trees.
- Selous Game Reserve – A lesser-known, pristine reserve with a diversity of wildlife
Many visitors to Tanzania will require a visa. This can typically be obtained on arrival at the airport, but it is recommended to check specific visa requirements based on your nationality before traveling. Alternatively, you can apply for an eVisa online.
Vaccinations such as Yellow Fever (for travelers coming from countries with a risk of Yellow Fever) and routine vaccinations (like MMR, Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Hepatitis A) are recommended. Malaria prophylaxis is also advised, especially for travel to rural areas and national parks.
Transportation options in Tanzania include:
- Domestic flights – Many safaris and long-distance routes are connected by flights.
- 4×4 vehicles – Common for safari tours and getting around national parks.
- Public buses – Available for intercity travel, though less reliable.
- Private transfers and taxis – Popular for more comfortable travel within cities.
Tanzania is generally considered safe for tourists. However, as with any destination, it is important to stay aware of your surroundings, follow local advice, and take precautions in busy areas or when traveling alone.
The official currency is the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS). However, US dollars are widely accepted, especially in tourist areas. It’s a good idea to carry some local currency for smaller purchases and tips.
You can book a safari through reputable tour operators, either online or in person. They will assist with itineraries, accommodation, and park fees.
Internet access is available in most major cities and tourist areas, but it may be limited or slower in remote areas. International phone coverage is also generally available in urban and tourist spots.
