Northern Safari Tips

  • Timing is everything: The best time to witness the Great Migration in the Serengeti is between June and October. However, the dry season (June to October) offers better game viewing overall due to reduced vegetation.

  • Pack accordingly: Layers are essential as mornings and evenings can be chilly, especially in the highlands. Comfortable, neutral-colored clothing is ideal for game viewing.

  • Respect wildlife: Always follow your guide's instructions. Maintain a safe distance from animals and never get out of your vehicle.

  • Capture memories responsibly: While photography is encouraged, using flash can disturb wildlife. Avoid littering and leaving any trace of your presence.

  • Consider a hot air balloon safari: For a truly unforgettable experience, consider a hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti.

Zanzibar Tips

  • Relax and unwind: Zanzibar is all about relaxation. Enjoy the pristine beaches, indulge in spa treatments, and savor fresh seafood.

  • Explore Stone Town: Immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of Zanzibar by exploring Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  • Water activities: Zanzibar offers a plethora of water activities, including snorkeling, diving, and kiteboarding.

  • Spice tour: Discover the island's rich spice heritage by taking a spice tour.

  • Respect local customs: Dress modestly when visiting religious sites or villages. Bargaining is common in local markets, but always be respectful.

General Tips

  • Vaccinations: Consult your doctor about recommended vaccinations before your trip. Malaria prevention is also essential.

  • Travel insurance: It's highly recommended to purchase comprehensive travel insurance to cover unexpected events.

  • Packing light: While it's tempting to pack everything, remember you'll be moving around. Pack light and prioritize essentials.

  • Responsible tourism: Support local communities by purchasing souvenirs from local artisans and respecting the environment.
