Visiting any part of Africa is a life-changing experience; there aren’t many places on the planet that connect you with nature and wildlife the way Africa does. But because the continent is so massive, it’s impossible to see all that it has to offer in one trip, which is why you need to choose your destination wisely. Tanzania offers the best of the great continent; its diverse wildlife, mesmerizing landscapes, and rich culture embody everything people love about Africa. Every year, tourists flock to Tanzania and go on safaris that are packed with enthralling experiences that they’ll remember for a lifetime. Planning the perfect safari in Tanzania is very different from booking a holiday elsewhere; there are many factors you need to consider. Use this guide to make sure you have the best trip:

1. THINK ABOUT YOUR GOALS

What is that you want out of your safari? What sort of things do you want to do/see? Looking for mount kilimanjaro climbing tours? Do you want to go to see the wildlife? Are you interested in seeing the Great Migration? Because there’s so much to see in Tanzania, you need to decide on a few activities you want to do and plan your trip accordingly. The country is pretty big, and you don’t want to spend most of your time commuting from one spot to another.

2. BEST TIME TO VISIT

You want to be able to walk around easily on your safari with minimal discomfort, so visit Tanzania when the rainy season (March-April) is over. The best months to visit are from June to October; there is little rain during this season, and you’ll get the chance to witness the wildebeest migration.

3. YOUR SAFARI STYLE

There are a few types of safaris you can take in Tanzania. You can choose to walk, travel using an SUV, go on horseback, or take a hot air balloon ride. Depending on the parks you want to visits and your preferred activities, you’ll have to decide on a safari-style, or two.

4. HIRE TOUR OPERATORS

You may be able to make your own itinerary when visiting other parts of the world, but when it comes to touring Tanzania or any other African country, it’s best to let the tour operator take the reins. Tour operators know the country and its most popular destinations. They’ll be able to design your safari so it meets all your requirements, and so you get the most out of your trip.
