Safari tips.
A Safari is not just cruising with 4×4 cruiser. Before booking a trip, it is very important to think and know the kind of a trip you want including destinations, accommodation you would prefer and a month of travel. In Tanzania we have so many destinations from National Parks, game reserves, cultural to historical places, beaches and mountains. Accommodations options include luxury, midrange and budget or standard conveniences of hotels, lodges, a tented camp or full camping that get you much closer to nature.
Tanzania as one of the best safari destinations in Africa offers a year-round safari destination as each season offers something special and different. During dry season is where most of tourist visits Tanzania. Although other seasons are also best to visit. December to April being the calving season and an excellent time to see predators in action with a lot of migratory birds and the calving season is on peak. January to February is a greenery season. March, April to May is a rainy season and a less crowded season. From June to October these are the best time to travel as the places are drier and animals can be easily spotted on waterholes and rivers. It is during this time of the year where the river crossing is taking place (Great migration) and it is a very crowded season and the prices of the accommodations are at their highest. For Kilimanjaro Mountain climbing, September to October are best time to climb, moderate temperature, less cloud cover and lower rainfall. With all the destinations Tanzania has, the popular safari circuit is the Northern part including Tarangire National park, Lake Manyara Park, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti National Park. To visit the parks, you can fly in to Kilimanjaro international Airport with alternatives being Dar es Salaam international airport, Arusha Airport and Nairobi International Airport in Kenya.
