Safari Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we hear most often from first-time safari travellers, answered directly.

What is the best time of year for a Tanzania safari?

The dry season (June–October) offers the easiest game viewing as animals gather near water sources; December–March is calving season and excellent for predator action on the southern plains.

What's included in the price?

All park fees, a private guide and 4x4 vehicle, accommodation, and meals as specified in your itinerary are included. International flights and tips are usually separate.

Can I join a safari as a solo traveller?

Yes — we can place solo travellers into a shared-vehicle departure to reduce cost, or arrange a fully private safari at a supplement.

How much should I tip guides and camp staff?

A common guideline is USD 15–20 per day for your guide and USD 10–15 per day split among camp staff, adjusted to service and party size.

How far in advance should I book?

For migration season (July–October) or peak holidays, 6–12 months ahead is safest; other times of year can often be arranged with a few weeks' notice.
