Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions travelers ask us most.
What is the best time to go on safari in Tanzania?
The dry season from late June to October is best for wildlife viewing. January to February is ideal for the calving season in the southern Serengeti.
How many days do I need for a Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari?
We recommend at least 3 days for Serengeti and Ngorongoro, 5 days to add Tarangire, and 7 days to include Lake Manyara as well.
Which Kilimanjaro route should I choose?
Longer routes such as Lemosho and Machame give better acclimatization and higher summit success. We help you choose based on fitness, budget and dates.
Can you combine a safari with Zanzibar?
Yes. Many guests finish a safari or Kilimanjaro trek with a relaxing beach stay in Zanzibar, and we arrange flights, transfers and hotels.
