Essential Tips for Your Tanzania Safari

Best Time to Visit: Tanzania’s dry season (June–October) is ideal for wildlife viewing, as animals congregate around water sources and vegetation is sparse. For the Great Migration river crossings in the Masai Mara/northern Serengeti area, July to September is prime time. The green season (November–May) offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and great birdwatching.

What to Pack: Lightweight, neutral-coloured clothing in khaki, beige, or olive is recommended. Layers are essential as early-morning game drives can be surprisingly cold, while afternoons are warm. A good pair of binoculars, sun protection, and a quality camera will serve you well on your Tanzania safari holidays.

Vaccinations & Health: Yellow fever vaccination is required for entry into Tanzania. Malaria prophylaxis is strongly recommended. Consult your healthcare provider at least six weeks before travel. All Lions Path Expeditions vehicles carry comprehensive first aid kits, and guides are trained in wilderness first aid.

Currency & Tips: The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is the local currency, though US dollars are widely accepted. It is customary to tip safari guides and camp staff — your Tanzania travel safari package guide will provide current tipping recommendations.

Extending to Zanzibar: Combining your safari with a Tanzania beach and safari extension to Zanzibar is straightforward — charter flights connect the Serengeti directly to Zanzibar’s Abeid Amani Karume International Airport in under two hours. Ask the Lions Path Expeditions team about our Zanzibar add-on packages.
