We have established protocols for medical emergencies, including evacuation to the nearest quality medical facility and contact with emergency services and your insurance provider.

What is the best time to visit Tanzania?

Tanzania is a year-round destination:

Dry Season (June – October): Best for wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources. Excellent weather.
Calving Season (Late January – February): The time of the Great Migration calving in the Ndutu Plains (Southern Serengeti). Fantastic predator action.
Green Season (November – May): Lush landscapes, excellent birding, and fewer tourists. Short rains occur in November/December, and long rains are from March to May.

What should I pack for my safari?

Clothing: Neutral-colored clothing (khaki, green, beige – avoid blue and black as they attract tsetse flies). Layers are key (mornings are cold, days are warm).
Essentials: A warm fleece or jacket for early mornings, a waterproof jacket, sturdy closed-toe shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a swimsuit (many lodges have pools).
Gear: High-quality binoculars, camera with extra batteries/memory cards, power bank, headlamp, and universal power adapter.
Health: Sunscreen (high SPF), insect repellent, personal medication, and a small personal first-aid kit.

Is there a dress code to follow?

On game drives, comfort is key. In lodges and camps, the dress code is smart-casual. For cultural visits, we recommend modest dress out of respect (avoid short shorts and sleeveless tops).

What currency is accepted, and can I use credit cards?

The local currency is the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS). US Dollars (USD) are widely accepted, but bills must be series 2009 or newer and in good condition (no tears, marks). Major lodges and some shops in cities accept credit cards (Visa/Mastercard). However, cash is king for local markets, souvenirs and tips. ATMs are available in major cities.

What is the tipping etiquette?

Tipping is customary and a significant part of the service industry’s income. It is not mandatory but is greatly appreciated. We provide detailed tipping guidelines upon booking. As a general reference, we suggest:

Main Guide: $25 – $35 per guest per day
Lodge/Camp Staff: $15 – $20 per guest per day (placed in a collective tip box)
Private Chef/Specialist Guide: $15 – $20 per guest per day
