  2. Is Tanzania a safe place to visit?
    Tanzania is one of the most peaceful and friendly countries in Africa. The local culture is welcoming, and you’ll often hear the word "Karibu" (welcome) or "Hakuna Matata" (no worries), assuring you of the warm hospitality. Since its independence, Tanzania has been free from tribal wars and conflicts, making it a safe destination for your safari.

  3. What’s the best season to book a safari?
    The best time for a safari in Tanzania is during the dry season, from June to October, and from mid-December to mid-March. These are the seasons when animals migrate in search of food and water. January and February are particularly special as it's calving season, while June to October is when the Great Migration across the Mara River takes place. The low season, from mid-March to June, sees fewer tourists and lower prices but can be challenging due to heavy rains and muddy roads.

  8. Are children allowed on safari?
    Yes, children are allowed on safari. However, hiking activities are physically demanding, so we recommend safaris for children aged 13 and above. For younger children, especially infants, extra care is needed as the roads can be rough, and the weather can affect their comfort. Zanzibar and beach vacations are better suited for families with young children, as they don’t require much physical activity.
