Frequently Asked Questions
Tanzania offers excellent wildlife viewing year-round. The dry season (June to October) is ideal as animals gather near water sources making game viewing easier. The short dry season (January to March) is great for bird watching and the calving season. For the Great Migration river crossings, plan for July to October in Northern Serengeti. Contact us to discuss the best time for your specific interests.
Yes, all our safari itineraries are fully customizable. We can adjust the number of days, parks visited, accommodation category (budget to luxury), add Zanzibar beach extension, Kilimanjaro trekking, cultural experiences, or any other special request. Simply contact us with your preferences and we will design your perfect Tanzania safari.
Pack light, neutral-colored clothing (khaki, beige, olive green), a warm fleece or jacket for early morning drives, comfortable walking shoes, wide-brim hat, sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars, camera with extra batteries and memory cards, and any personal medications.

Arusha has several international-standard clinics and a flying doctor service. Ngorongoro and Serengeti have basic medical posts and radio communication for evacuation. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance including medical evacuation. Bring sufficient personal medications as pharmacies in the parks are limited. Your guide carries a first aid kit and emergency contacts at all times.
Absolutely. Senior safaris are designed to be entirely flexible. Game drives start when you are ready, rest stops happen as frequently as needed, and there is always the option to return to camp early or skip an afternoon drive for rest. Share your preferences at the start and your guide will customise each day accordingly.
Our vehicles are standard 4x4 Land Cruisers which require stepping up approximately 60 cm. If you have limited mobility, please let us know in advance — we can arrange a step stool and a guide who will assist. In the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti, most game viewing is done from the vehicle, so you spend minimal time walking. Hotel selection is also adjusted based on your mobility needs.
