Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tanzania safe? What about malaria?

Safari areas are very safe, we’ve never had a security incident. For malaria: northern parks (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) are low-risk, especially June-October. Southern parks have higher risk. We provide guidance based on your itinerary. All safaris include flying doctor medical evacuation coverage.

Depends on what you prioritize. There’s no universal “best time”—there’s the best time for YOUR priorities.

June-October (Dry Season):

  • Best for: Easiest wildlife viewing (animals concentrate at water sources)
  • Migration: In northern Serengeti (river crossings July-September)
  • Weather: Sunny, dry, cool mornings/evenings (need layers)
  • Crowds: Peak season = more tourists at popular spots
  • Prices: Highest rates (20-30% more than green season)
  • Who should come: First-time safari goers, photographers wanting guaranteed sightings, people who hate rain


December-March (Short Dry/Green Season):

  • Best for: Migration calving season (January-February in southern Serengeti), predator action with newborn prey
  • Weather: Short rains in Nov/Dec, then dry, HOT (bring sunscreen)
  • Crowds: Lower tourist numbers (except Christmas/New Year)
  • Prices: Moderate rates
  • Who should come: People wanting dramatic predator-prey action, photographers wanting lush landscapes, budget-conscious travelers


April-May (Long Rains):

  • Best for: Your wallet (lowest prices)
  • Weather: Rainy, muddy, some roads impassable
  • Crowds: Very few tourists
  • Wildlife: Still there, but harder to access
  • Who should come: Honestly? We don’t recommend it unless you’re extremely budget-constrained or bird watching specifically


Our honest take: July-September is “best” for most people, but we personally love January-February for the calving season drama and fewer crowds.

Yellow fever

If you’re coming from a country with yellow fever, you’ll need a vaccination certificate. It’s also recommended to get the vaccination before you leave, as it’s effective for 10 years. 

Hepatitis A

This liver disease can be contracted from contaminated food or water, so it’s often recommended to get vaccinated or a booster before traveling to Tanzania. 

Influenza

The risk of getting the flu is present all year round in tropical climates, so it’s recommended to get vaccinated.  

Other recommended vaccinations include polio, rabies, hepatitis B, and Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis). 

Malaria is also a risk in Tanzania, but there’s no vaccination for it. You may need to take antimalarial tablets, so you can consult a travel clinic to discuss your options. You can also take steps to prevent bug bites by cleaning the area, avoiding scratching, and using over-the-counter remedies like hydrocortisone or antihistamines. 

Fair question. Here’s why being smaller and newer is actually an advantage:

What established companies have:

  • Brand recognition (yes)
  • Decades of operation (yes)
  • Large guide pools (yes)
  • Volume discounts on lodges (yes)

 

What they’ve lost:

  • Personal attention (you’re booking #437 this month)
  • Guide consistency (whoever’s available gets assigned)
  • Flexibility (systems are rigid)
  • Founder involvement (you’re talking to sales reps)

 

What we have:

  • Founders still guide every safari (we’re not desk-bound)
  • Small enough that we know every client by name
  • Freedom to customize without corporate policy restrictions
  • Direct relationships with lodge owners (not just contracts)

 

Our credibility markers:

  • Licensed Tanzania tour operator (TALA registered)
  • Full liability insurance (tour operator + passenger)
  • Flying doctor partnership (AMREF)
  • 127 safaris completed, 4.9/5 average rating
  • 94% return/referral rate

 

What we DON’T have:

  • A marble office in NYC
  • Glossy 100-page brochures
  • Celebrity endorsements
  • A 50-person marketing team

If those things matter to you, book with the established operators. If having the actual person who designs your safari also guide it matters more, book with us.

Every safari includes AMREF Flying Doctors coverage (you’ll see this on your insurance docs). This is air ambulance service across East Africa. If there’s a serious medical issue, they fly you to Nairobi or Arusha within 2-4 hours, regardless of where you are.

For non-emergency situations: All our guides carry comprehensive first aid kits and have wilderness first responder training. Most lodges have nurses on staff. Satellite phones work everywhere, even where cell service doesn’t.

We’ve had three medical situations in five years:

  • Visitor twisted ankle on walking safari → treated at camp, continued trip
  • Visitor had allergic reaction → drove to regional hospital (45 min), back to safari next day
  • Visitor needed emergency appendectomy → flying doctors evacuated to Nairobi within 3 hours, successful surgery, family flew in to meet them

The visitors who struggle aren’t the ones with medical emergencies. They’re the ones who didn’t disclose health issues and then can’t do the activities they paid for.
