Safaris Tanzania
Rent a 4×4 car for safari in Tanzania. We present various options to explore the vast and diverse wildlife landscapes, including renowned locations such as the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. These safaris typically employ custom-built 4×4 vehicles equipped with pop-up roofs to enhance game viewing experiences. For those seeking a more independent adventure, there are self-driving safaris available. Travellers can rent 4×4 vehicles for self-drive safaris from Arusha or Kilimanjaro, enabling them to explore at their own pace.
The Masai tribe: this group of warrior nomadic pastoralists descends from Nilotic and Cushitic peoples who originated north of Lake Turkana over a millennium ago. Their existence revolves around their herds of cattle and other livestock. They frequently travel hundreds of kilometres with substantial herds in pursuit of water and fertile grazing lands. Their diet primarily consists of fresh and curdled milk, along with meat sourced from their livestock.
Discover Tanzania on your own through self-drive adventures. Make sure to include the northern circuit, featuring Serengeti and Ngorongoro, in your itinerary. Southern safaris that cover the coastal regions set off from Dar es Salaam. Key attractions in this area include Mikumi and Ruaha National Parks. While accommodations are offered, the most favourable rates can be found during the off-peak season, and there are options for camping with 4×4 vehicles equipped with rooftop tents. Tanzania’s safaris offer a unique atmosphere characterised by diverse climates and topographies. The Manyara region and Arusha experience dry conditions during July, August, and September, while the coastal areas, including Ruaha and Mikumi, tend to be hotter.

When to Go to Tanzania
June through October, when it is dry, is the greatest time to go to Tanzania. If you don’t enjoy rainy weather, you should probably stay away from March to May. Some places may get hotter, although January and February can also be beautiful. From late October to December, we get rain showers every now and again. But it is getting harder to guess when it will rain. It was an extremely rainy day in February when the picture above was captured.
The animals in the Serengeti seem to move in time with each other, but you can’t be sure that you’ll observe the Great Migration there:
If you don’t have a lot of time or money, the ideal time to witness the Migration is between December and March, when the herds are in the middle and southern Serengeti. There are also a lot of babies around because January and February are calving season.
Between April and June, the wildebeest go north across the Western Corridor, which is near the Grumeti River. As the herds start to gather and get ready to cross the river, you can see some good sights. You might even see a crossing. I think you should remain there for at least a few days because it’s so far away.
The best period to see the migration is from July to September or October, when the herds are in northern Kenya near the Mara River. This part of the Serengeti is pretty far away, so if you’re driving, you’ll need to fly in or plan to stay there for at least three nights. Right now is a great time to visit the river crossings.
The herds go south toward the Southern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater in November and December. They travel back to the Serengeti.
How Long Should You Stay in Tanzania
It could take months to see and do everything Tanzania has to offer. If you plan beforehand, though, you can still cram a lot into a trip that lasts one, two, or three weeks.
It should be a part of any vacation to Tanzania to spend time on the beach, go on safari, and see the country’s cultural centers. Mto wa Mbu, Arusha, Moshi, Bagamoyo, and Stone Town are all great places to do this.
Below are the least amount of time I think you should spend at each of the places I’ve listed.
Combine Tanzania and Kenya together
Kenya or Tanzania? People ask me this all the time. You won’t be able to visit everything in two weeks because both countries are rather big, but it’s easy to combine the two trips into one.
If you want to see the best of both Kenya and Tanzania without having to worry about making travel plans, my Kenya and Tanzania Adventure tour is the best choice.
