Overview
The Ngorongoro Crater is a basin of around 20 kilometres in diameter in which lions, rhinos and zebras live in a tight space. Anyone who has seen it does not forget it, and that is exactly why Tanzania stands for many at the beginning of the question: which safari should it be if it takes place only once? The best time is between July and October, in the dry season, when the animals can be seen at rivers and waterholes. The Serengeti is the core with the great migration of the wildebeest, Tarangire complements with elephants under baobabs.
Nyerere, formerly Selous, offers boat safaris on the Rufiji. Zanzibar closes the trip with beach, stone town and spice markets. The flight time is approx. 9 to 11 hrs, mostly with a change, and a visa is required (eVisa or visa on arrival), please check with the FDFA (EDA) before departure.
Cash in US dollars or Tanzanian shillings is indispensable on safari, and tips for guides and camp staff are part of the trip. Do not drink tap water. In the video call you decide how many nights each park gets.
