We firmly believe that planning a Tanzania safari can be just as much fun as going on the trip itself. But we also know that organising a trip can be confusing and even a little bit frustrating – and that’s where we come in. Below, we’ve put together our top Tanzania travel tips, from the right airports to fly into, to the best time of year to travel – and a few nuggets of knowledge in between.
How long should I go for?
First on our list of Tanzania travel tips is this golden question and one that we get asked a lot. Our most common answer? It’s totally up to you. Seven to 10 nights for a multi-park or multi-country safari is a good starting point with two nights minimum in each camp (but we rather like three). Less than that and you’re in and out before you can say, ‘There’s a lion in that bush.’ But even if you’ve only got four nights then we can make it work – stay in one place with a variety of activities and maximise your wildlife viewing time. If you want to stay for seven nights in one place and make the most of the swimming pool and the down time, then that’s fine too. Play around with our trip designer and discover what works best for your time and budget.
Consider driving
Driving may seem like the most sensible option for moving around between safari parks, but actually, it’s not always possible due to the long distances and in some cases, wild terrain! The parks of Tanzania’s northern circuit, however, are ideally located to combine in a driving route – and that’s the second of our Tanzania top tips. Driving will undoubtedly save you a few pennies but it’s also a great way to see the ‘behind the scenes’ aspect of a country that you may miss if you choose to fly. Our Tanzania driving route combines Tarangire, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro but you could also consider adding Lake Manyara or some time at the beach – blissful Ras Katuni is even within driving distance of Dar es Salaam (although you may need to hop on a plane to get to Dar first!).
When should I travel?
The weather in Tanzania is fairly easily divided into different seasons. The main dry season runs from July to September and you can expect warm days and clear, blue skies as well as excellent game viewing. No surprise, then, that it’s the most popular time to visit. There is however another shorter dry season that runs from the end of December (just in time for Christmas!) to February. The rain tends to fall from March to May, and then again briefly in October/November time. But our Tanzania travel tip would be to not let the rain put you off! There’s no northern hemisphere drizzle here, and thunderstorms tend to be short, sharp and spectacular. Game viewing in places like the Serengeti is phenomenal (think lots of babies being born and beautiful, emerald plains), and plenty of migratory birds in places like Ruaha and Tarangire.
The beach
We couldn’t give you a list of Tanzania travel tips without mentioning the coastline. With an exotic array of tropical islands and more postcard-perfect beaches than sunbathing time, Tanzania ticks all the boxes for a classic ‘bush-and-beach’ holiday. Most flights out to the islands leave from Dar es Salaam and the connections are so easy, adding a few days at the beach is almost compulsory. The three main islands are Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia (read more about the differences between them here). Zanzibar is the largest and easiest to get to, and it’s the perfect mix of old-world culture and beach luxe. Pemba is a remote, easy-going island that’s perfect to get away from it all, whilst Mafia is the place to be for snorkelling with whale sharks – and just generally fantastic marine-life viewing whether by boat or under the water.
Head off the beaten track
It’s true that some parks in Tanzania can get a little busy at times, so use it to your advantage and try something a little different? Rubondo Island, a tropical wildlife sanctuary in the middle of Lake Victoria is just the place for a Robinson Crusoe-esque adventure,whilst the glorious Mahale Mountains offer world-class chimp trekking. If your heart is set on the northern circuit, then how about traversing the Ngorongoro Highlands with a dedicated Maasai by your side? And if you really can’t leave out the Serengeti but aren’t so keen on the crowds, check out the Grumeti concession (our favourite lodges include Singita Faru Faru or the more classic Legendary Mobile Camp) in the west of the park. Here, tourists and lodges are few but wildlife is plentiful and you’ll still catch the Great Migration if you visit in April or May.

Latest #HerdTracker update: Wildebeest moving at high-speed crossing point no 8 and no 10
June is traditionally the Grumeti River crossing period! However, the wildebeest herds are very early this year!!
Safari guide Emmanuel captured the wildebeest from the Eastern Serengeti in the Bolongoja moving at high-speed crossing point no 8 and no 10 in the Mara River. A small herd is still in the Western corridor moving towards the Mara River.

Join us on our magical trip to Singita Grumeti Reserves, situated adjacent to the world famours Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The reservere is an integral part of the spectacular Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem, home of the Great Migration and Africa's greatest wildlife populations.

Well, it's Singita Faru Faru! Built on a gently sloping hill, this riverine lodge, positioned on the renowned migratory route, is a place where you can quite literally expect the unexpected. Informal, unconventional and surprising at every turn, Singita Faru Faru Lodge is a mix of contemporary, organic style and the quirky practicality of a traditional botanist’s camp. With such close proximity to the river and plains, guests have the unique opportunity to experience a very close connection with the wilderness.
Begleitet uns auf eine Reise hinein in das Safari-Paradies Singita Grumeti, ein exklusives Reservat an der Grenze der Serengti im nördlichen Tansania. 5 Sterne reichen nicht, um die außergewöhnliche Qualität, das Lebensgefühl und den Grad an unprätentiösen Luxus zu beschreiben, der jeder der Singita Lodges innewohnt.

Tanzania Luxury Safaris - The Most Exclusive Safari Park in Tanzania
This is arguably the most luxurious and most exclusive safari destination in the whole of Tanzania.
Located in the remotest part of western Serengeti is Grumeti Reserve. This expansive reserve has only a few lodges. That means one rarely sees any other safari vehicle while on the visit.
This beautiful and remote corner of the Serengeti National Park is perhaps one of the best kept secrets when it comes to safari destinations.
Because of its remoteness, it makes for an exceptional game viewing experience with the feeling of the exclusivity. The number of visitors in Grumeti is limited to around 60 guests in only a few small Serengeti luxury camps, this is a prime quality area devoid of tourist crowds. Looking for a private experience without the crowds? Grumeti allows you to experience a private Serengeti.
Grumeti Reserve is also known for its large lion prides comprising between 20 and up to 60 individuals. The opportunities for seeing lions in Grumeti are outstanding; this is also the place where you can enjoy a sighting alone.
Grumeti Reserve shares its borders with the western corridor of Serengeti, and is made up of 400,000 acres of pristine wilderness. Being on the famous and dramatic migratory route, the reserve is annually a witness to one of the greatest natural wonders on earth—the Great Migration!
Committed to high standards of luxury safari living with discerning attention to detail, the reserve runs 2 luxurious lodges and 1 tented camp, each of these offering a distinctive, luxurious and exceptional safari experience.

Nowhere in the world is there a movement of animals as immersing as the wildebeest migration, over two million animals migrate from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the greener pastures of the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya during August through to October.
From August the wildebeest herds begin moving faster in search of water and greener grass, making their way across the Grumeti and Mara River. October is a good time to see the wildebeest herds move back into the Serengeti and warm weather can be expected.

Celestielle #201 Singita Faru Faru Lodge, Grumeti Reserve, Tanzania
Kenya or Tanzania safari?
Come and witness the wildebeest migration in two of Africa's most iconic wildlife destinations - Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve and Tanzania's Serengeti National Park.
Approximately two million wildebeest, including animals such as zebra and gazelles, move annually in an endless cycle across Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara in search for better grass and water resources. However, they're closely followed by predators such as lion, leopard and cheetah, which makes for spectacular game viewing that few can match.
If you want to have a look at the full itinerary of the safari, feel free to follow the link:
