Exclusive Offers
Witness the Great Migration
See one of nature’s most awe-inspiring spectacles—the Great Migration. Watch herds of wildebeest and zebra thunder across the Serengeti plains and cross crocodile-filled rivers in dramatic fashion. Peak viewing months vary by location, but there’s something to see year-round.
Go on Game Drives & Guided Safaris
Set out on daily game drives with expert guides through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, or Selous. Spot elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, and rhinos in their natural habitat—all from the comfort of a luxury 4x4 vehicle or open-top Land Cruiser.
Explore the Ngorongoro Crater
This ancient volcanic caldera is home to one of the densest wildlife populations in Africa. Descend into its lush basin for a full-day safari experience unlike any other, often with views of flamingos and rare black rhinos.
Relax in Zanzibar or on Lake Tanganyika
Pair your safari with a beach escape. After days in the bush, unwind on the powdery beaches of Zanzibar or enjoy water activities on Tanzania’s beautiful inland lakes. Explore spice farms, old Stone Town, or simply lounge by the sea.
Cultural Encounters & Community Visits
Visit Maasai villages, learn about Hadzabe bushmen traditions, or spend a day with local artisans. Cultural tours add depth to your trip and create meaningful connections with the people of Tanzania.
Best Time to Visit Tanzania
The dry season from June to October is ideal for wildlife viewing, while January to March offers excellent visibility of the calving season in the Serengeti. Zanzibar is great year-round, with dry periods best for beach vacations.
What to Pack for Safari & Beyond
Pack neutral-colored, lightweight clothing for game drives, along with a sun hat, sunglasses, and good walking shoes. Don’t forget binoculars, insect repellent, a reusable water bottle, and a scarf or jacket for cool mornings and evenings.
Getting Around
Most safaris begin with a flight into Kilimanjaro or Arusha, followed by short bush flights or scenic drives. Our concierge team can help arrange all domestic transfers, charter flights, and private guides.
Health & Safety Essentials
Dominicans are warm and welcoming. A polite “Good morning” or “Good afternoon” goes a long way. The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD), though U.S. dollars are widely accepted. Credit cards are accepted at most established businesses, but cash is helpful for markets and smaller vendors.
Respectful Travel & Local Customs
Tanzanians are warm and gracious. Learn a few Swahili greetings—“Jambo” (hello) and “Asante” (thank you) go a long way. Dress modestly in public areas, especially in villages and Zanzibar’s historic sites.
