Tips for Planning Your Tanzania Safari

Planning a Tanzania safari is an exciting venture, and careful preparation ensures a seamless and memorable experience. Begin by setting clear objectives for your safari, whether it’s witnessing the Great Migration, encountering specific wildlife, or exploring diverse landscapes. Research the best time to visit based on your preferences, considering factors like weather, migration patterns, and wildlife activity. Select reputable tour operators like Might Africa Xpeditions, who offer well-crafted itineraries and experienced guides.

Ensure your travel documents, including passports and visas, are up to date, and check for any necessary vaccinations. Pack lightweight, neutral-colored clothing, suitable for both warm days and cooler evenings. Don’t forget essentials like a good pair of binoculars, a camera, and comfortable walking shoes for potential nature walks. Communicate dietary preferences and any special requirements to your tour operator in advance.

Consider staying in lodges or camps that complement your desired level of comfort and proximity to nature. Budget wisely and be aware of additional costs like park fees and gratuities. Finally, embrace the spirit of adventure and flexibility as nature can be unpredictable. With careful planning and a sense of wonder, your Tanzania safari is sure to be an extraordinary journey into the heart of Africa’s wild beauty.

Life is a safari, let’s conquer it together.

Safari Etiquette – How to Behave on Safari

When embarking on a Tanzania safari, understanding and adhering to safari etiquette is crucial to ensure a respectful and enjoyable experience for both travelers and the wildlife. First and foremost, follow the guidance of your experienced safari guide—they are knowledgeable about the environment and wildlife behavior. Maintain a respectful distance from the animals to avoid causing stress or disturbance. Keep noise levels to a minimum, as loud sounds can disrupt the natural peace of the wilderness and startle wildlife.

Always stay inside the designated vehicle areas and never approach animals on foot, as this can be dangerous. Resist the urge to feed the wildlife, as it can alter their natural behaviors and diet. It’s essential to prioritize the well-being of the ecosystem by disposing of litter responsibly and respecting the park’s regulations. Be considerate of fellow safari-goers by minimizing the use of electronic devices and refraining from intrusive behavior.

Respect the local communities and their customs; seek permission before taking photographs of people, and avoid any inappropriate or intrusive actions. By adhering to these etiquette guidelines, you contribute to the conservation of Tanzania’s rich biodiversity and ensure a positive and sustainable safari experience for everyone involved.

Money and Spending

Tanzania’s unit of currency is the Tanzanian Shilling, but our advice is to use US Dollars only – and in cash: credit cards and traveller’s cheques (although accepted in most establishments) incur transaction fees. ATMs are found throughout the major towns and cities in Tanzania, but not in the national parks and game reserves.

Note: US Dollar bills printed before 2006 are not accepted in Tanzania.

Tipping lodge staff and drivers/guides is customary for good service on a Tanzania safari, but check first to see whether a service charge has been added to your bill.

Tipping is not mandatory in Tanzania but is a custom. Is a way of showing gratitude after receiving good service. Tipping is a personal thing though tipping guides for Tanzania range from $10- $ 20 per day. So do your simple math to add on your safari cost.

I’m beyond satisfied with my lemosho trek together with Mighty Africa Xpeditions We did the 8 day Lemosho trek with Mighty Africa Xpeditions and we had the most incredible time. Our guide Damian, Joel and Jackson took amazing care of us, the porters were great fun and impressed us with their strength and speed everyday and the food was really tasty every breakfast, lunch and dinner. Once in a lifetime experience and I wouldn't hesitate to do it with Mighty Africa Xpeditions again. You really feel part of the family by the end of the trip.

Mighty Africa Xpeditions was professional and delivered what they promised. We fully recommend using their services. We were a group of 6 people, did a couple of days of safari at Tarangire National Park and Kilimanjaro trekking via Lemosho route (8 days). Everything has been terrific and ran very smoothly! Sarah at the office, it has been great during the booking process. She replied to all our questions with patience and competence. A staff Member showed up at the hotel with our trekking head guide the day before departing for the trekking for the briefing and for checking all our equipment. Colman, our head guide and Sadiki, the assistant guide: they have been professional, very friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond and I'm 100% sure that listening to their advice has been the main key to reaching the summit!, Summiting the mountain was one of the most difficult things I have ever done but with the support of the guides and porters I was able to make it to the summit. It was one of the best experiences of my life and one I won't ever forget.
