Expect familiar food with occasional local touches. Most lodges will offer buffet-style dining whilst others may have set menus. If you have any dietary requirements we can accommodate these for you but please let us know in advance. If you are out driving during the day, your driver will take a packed lunch for you.
The different National Parks – Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro – may look close on a map, but there is a considerable amount of driving between each location. Approximate driving times are listed below. While this gives you the opportunity to see more of the Tanzania countryside – look out for Maasai villages beside the road, children tending their herds of goats and cattle, and roadside markets – you will not see any game during these transit times.
We would recommend being up and early for a game drive – around 6am as this time is cooler in the day, the animals are most active, you get ahead of the other tourists and since the park fees are paid by day (end of day being 6pm) then leaving early means you can get the most out of the day. However, as we provide you with a completely customisable itinerary, you are free to choose your schedule depending on your comfort.
Our safari vehicle can accommodate up to 7 people. Every vehicle will have a rooftop and sliding windows for better viewing experience
Yes, of course, and we would highly recommend this as a platform for learning and growth for your little ones.
Casual clothing will do the job – loose-fitting and lightweight clothes are best as it will keep you cool and dry quickly in case of any rains. Do carry a fleece or jacket for chilly cold mornings of game drives. It is best to wear long sleeves at night to protect from mosquitoes. Khaki/neutral colours are best as black can attract tsetse flies and white clothes can often get dirty.
No one is forced to go on. There is always enough staff to split the group according to needs and regroup later at the camp. Most people have no trouble reaching the highest campsite. If some party members decide not to climb the final distance to the peak or cannot proceed at any point in time, they can wait for the other group climbers to come back or can go down with a guide following the same way or take a lateral path to the descent route.
There are a handful of international flights that land directly at Zanzibar airport, otherwise the best option would be to fly to Dar es Salaam and then take a short 15 mins flight to Zanzibar or take a ferry to the island.
Yes, certain vaccinations are recommended for Tanzania and Zanzibar. The National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommend the following vaccinations for Tanzania and Zanzibar:
*Proof of a yellow fever vaccination is required if you are travelling from a country where yellow fever is present.
These are the recommended shots for travel to Zanzibar, but they are only general guidelines. We strongly advise that you consult with a travel clinic or your doctor when planning your holiday to Zanzibar to ensure that you get the shots that you need.
How long you need for a fulfilling Zanzibar holiday depends on what you want to do, but we recommend at least a week as there’s just so much to do and explore.
The best time to go to Zanzibar is from June to September/October. These are Zanzibar’s dry seasons. However, the cooler temperatures of winter are still warm, so you’ll still enjoy pleasant beach weather. A less ideal time to travel to Zanzibar would be during the two rainy seasons: November and April to May.

As hunting is strictly prohibited in all the National Parks, this means Tanzania has one of the highest densities of wildlife. Higher park fees keep the number of visitors relatively low and so there is a more exclusive experience. All safaris in Tanzania are conducted with 4×4 off-road vehicles unlike other countries that use small family cars and this makes the experience all the more memorable.
