Let's Go on a Safari in Tanzania!

 A Tanzania safari is an amazing adventure. From exploring the Serengeti, with its rolling Plains and abundance of wildlife, to trekking through Ngorongoro Crater home to zebras, gazelles, hippos, and some of Africa’s last remaining wild rhinos – it's a unique experience like no other! Witness epic migrations of hundreds or even thousands of animals making their yearly journey across vast grasslands looking for food while enjoying breathtaking sunsets from your tent overlooking the Savannah plains. Whether you choose to take on more challenging activities such as mountain hiking around Mt Kilimanjaro or simply relax in one of many beautiful national parks - be sure not to miss out on this spectacular once-in-a-lifetime destination.

Best time to go on safari
Tanzania is a great destination for safaris year-round. It’s best to go during the dry season, which generally runs from late June through October, as this is when animals and vegetation are more accessible due to less rain. The migration of wildebeest typically takes place between July and September in the Serengeti National Park so it is especially popular then. Temperatures can be very pleasant at these times with average highs around 27–30°C (81–86°F). December through March usually sees warmer conditions but brings thunderstorms making game viewing harder at times. April, May, and November bring some light rains that make the bush greener—a sight many find incredibly beautiful!

What to Expecting on a Tanzania Safari
A Tanzania safari can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, offering breathtaking landscapes and an array of wildlife. You can expect to encounter nature reserves teeming with animal life including lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, wildebeests, and zebra among many others. There will also likely be spectacular bird-watching opportunities as well. Accommodations vary; some offer luxurious tent lodges while others are basic campsites or rustic cabins depending on the tour operator and your preferences. A variety of activities may include game drives through national parks like Serengeti National Park or Ngorongoro Crater; boating trips for fishing or sightseeing in Lake Victoria; visits to local villages where you'll learn about daily Maasai life; hot air balloon rides over the plains for observing animals from above—the list goes on! Regardless of what type of safari tour package you book, there's no doubt that it will bring unparalleled memories you won't forget anytime soon.

What to Bring For a Tanzania Safari
• Sunscreen/Sunblock: Be sure to bring high-SPF sunscreen or sunblock to protect your skin from the strong African sun. A hat and sunglasses can also help reduce sun exposure.

• Insect Repellent: Bring insect repellents that are safe for use in animals as you will be in close proximity with wildlife during your safari trip.
• Clothing & Footwear: Should be lightweight, breathable, and long-sleeved where possible; cotton T-shirts and trousers are ideal as they provide protection against insects but don’t hinder movement when exploring sights on foot. Comfortable walking shoes should ideally have ankle support (hiking boots) so wear them accordingly while a good pair of sandals come in handy once at camp after a day out game driving or trekking! Waterproof clothing such as rain jackets is essential too due to Tanzania's wet season which occurs between November - April each year. Pack an extra dry set of clothes just in case it rains unexpectedly – all items should be stored away airtight within your dry bag

• Binoculars: Good quality binoculars may cost quite a bit, but they play an important role in enabling guests who are staying overnight at campsites to keep watch over various wild animal activities during the evenings without having to stay up all night! As well this piece kit helps get some great photos from far distances, giving one a better opportunity to capture different species across vast areas easily visible through lighter lens magnification provided by technological advances these days!

How much does a Tanzania safari cost?
The cost of a Tanzania safari will vary depending on factors such as the type and duration of your trip, the number of people traveling, and desired accommodation. A 3-day/2-night basic Tanzania safari for two adults starts at around $1,100 USD per person; this would include transportation in a 4x4 vehicle (with one window seat for each guest), an English-speaking local driver with knowledge about wildlife areas, accommodation in tented camping or budget lodges plus all meals and park fees. Travelers seeking more luxury can opt to stay overnight in private bush camps which offer exclusive access to wilderness areas, higher quality accommodations, and additional services like customized game drives – raising the price tag significantly ($3,000 -$5,000+ USD). Ultimately there is no single definitive answer since it really depends on where you are going and what kind of experience you want!
