After your morning breakfast, around 7:30 AM, your safari guide will promptly arrive at the hotel, notifying the reception of his presence. Once you rendezvous with your driver, the journey to Tarangire National Park commences, and by 10:00 AM, your first safari experience unfolds!

Tarangire is renowned for its diverse Tanzanian wildlife, including lions, buffalos, giraffes, and zebras. However, it is particularly famed for the impressive number of elephants, often found near the Tarangire River, their primary water source. Please bear in mind that wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed due to the untamed nature of the environment, but your guide will make every effort to fulfill your expectations. The Altezza team utilizes a dedicated radio channel to collaborate with other guides, enhancing the chances of spotting rare species.

Lunch will be provided during the safari, and the adventure continues into the evening before transferring you back to the hotel.

Important notes:

As this marks your inaugural safari day, kindly adhere to the national park’s visitor rules and our company recommendations.

Throughout the safari, exiting the vehicle is strictly prohibited, except in designated areas. Violations may result in substantial fines for the company and potential license revocation. Off-road driving is prohibited to prevent irreversible damage to the delicate natural ecosystem. While smoking is permitted during the safari, exercise extreme caution in extinguishing and disposing of cigarette butts to avoid savanna fires. We kindly request that you refrain from putting your feet on the safari car’s seats or sitting on the back, as such behavior can quickly render the vehicles unusable. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

Frequently asked Questions

What is the best time to visit Tanzania?

Selecting the optimal time for a safari in Tanzania hinges on your preferences. The dry season, encompassing June to October and January to March, proves excellent for wildlife observation as animals congregate around water sources. While you’ll relish sunny days, be prepared for larger crowds, particularly during the Great Migration and the birthing seasons of zebras and wildebeests.

Conversely, the rainy season, spanning April to May and November to December, presents a lush landscape with fewer visitors and potential lodge discounts. Transition periods like late March, early June, late October, and November offer a harmonious blend of favorable weather and a quieter experience, striking a balance between good conditions and reduced tourist numbers.

What to wear on a safari in Tanzania?

Opt for safari attire with shirts and pants in neutral tones such as khaki or gray to seamlessly blend in and minimize the visibility of dust. Steer clear of white, blue, and camouflage clothing, as blue may attract tsetse flies, and camouflage is typically restricted for civilians. While dresses are suitable for lodges, practicality calls for pants during drives. Prioritize sun protection with a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Opt for closed shoes on drives, reserving sandals for lodge settings. Ensure you pack a warm jacket, particularly for chilly mornings and evenings, especially in higher-altitude regions.

Can I leave the car on a safari?

Leaving the car on a Tanzania safari is allowed in designated areas only. Leaving a car right in the middle of the national park isn’t allowed because of safety considerations.

Can I use a drone on safari?

Individuals without regular visitor status are prohibited from operating drones within Tanzania’s national parks. However, those engaging in filming projects can seek special permissions, a procedure that usually spans 3-4 months and involves additional expenses. Attempting to bring a drone into Tanzania without the requisite permissions may result in customs officials confiscating the device upon arrival.

Is there internet coverage on Tanzania safari?

Our safari vehicles are equipped with Wi-Fi; however, it’s important to acknowledge that coverage may be limited in the more remote sections of national parks. Wi-Fi is also available in hotels and lodges throughout Tanzania, although the connection in these locations may occasionally experience interruptions.
