Optional Activities

You can add extra experiences to your 5-Day Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Tarangire Safari, depending on your interests and available time. Options include a Serengeti hot air balloon safari, a Maasai cultural visit, guided nature walks, or additional nights in Tanzania. Optional activities are charged separately and are subject to availability, weather, and your travel dates.

Best Time to Visit Tanzania

Tanzania is a year-round safari destination, but the experience changes with the seasons. June to October is generally popular for game viewing because the weather is drier and animals are easier to spot around water sources. January and February are also good months, especially for travelers interested in the wildebeest calving season in the Serengeti.

The March-to-May long rains bring fewer visitors and greener landscapes, though some roads can be difficult to navigate. Short rains usually occur between November and December, while safari activities continue in most areas. If seeing the Great Migration is your priority, the best area to visit depends on where the herds are during your travel dates.

What to Pack

Keep your luggage light and practical. Pack comfortable clothing, walking shoes, a warm jacket for early mornings, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and insect repellent. A camera, binoculars, a reusable water bottle, a power bank, and a travel adapter are also useful.

Bring your passport, travel documents, personal medication, and any other essentials. The Ngorongoro Highlands can be cold, particularly in the early morning, so a warm layer is recommended.

Travel Tips

• Wear comfortable clothes and carry a warm layer for early morning drives.
• Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and insect repellent.
• Keep your passport and travel documents safely stored.
• Follow your guide’s instructions when around wildlife.
• Carry some local currency for personal expenses.
• Let us know about any dietary requirements before your safari.
• Book early if traveling during the peak safari season.
