These are organised with well-known and recommended domestic flights to get to the different destinations.

When using road transport, well-maintained 4x4 safari vehicles are used to drive tourists to and from the safari destinations. The vehicles that are used are in good shape, can easily navigate the Tanzanian roads leading to the destinations and within the national park.

Accommodation: There are three types of accommodation facilities that we book during a Tanzania Safari and these are budget, mid-range and luxury accommodation facilities. We make sure that the accommodation chosen by the client is secure and offers comfort and safety to the clients. We have vetted and partnered with several accommodation facilities that offer both comfort and safety. Allow us to help you get the best accommodation facility that fits your preferences and your budget.

The safari activities: Tanzania is the king of safari activities, and Encounter Africa Safaris is here to help you organise these activities. And all the activities that we recommend are to make sure that our clients have fun, enjoy the adventure, are safe and comfortable. Some activities are not safe for children, and we communicate this to our clients before finalising the itinerary.

Tanzania is generally a safe country but when you visit, make sure that safety is your first priority because there are so many scammers in the country. Avoid walking alone especially at night, follow the guidelines from the driver guides and do not walk with large wards of money and valuables.

5. Encounter advises its clients about Tanzania safaris

When you get in touch with us at Encounter Africa Safaris, we will not only help you plan your entire gorilla safari for you, but we will also offer sound advice to all clients so that they know exactly what they need when it comes to planning a Tanzania safari. Before planning any safari, you have to be knowledgeable about the safari destinations in Tanzania and how to get there. We will advise you on the different aspects of planning a safari from accommodation, when to go, the best time to go, how much time to spend on a safari, the cost of the safari and what mode of transport to use.

Days spent on a Tanzania safari: Many tourists might not know how many days to spend on the safari and this is where we come in. Depending on the adventure and budget you are looking at, there are shorter and longer safaris. The shorter safaris are usually 3 to 4 days, whereas the longer trips take 7 days or more.  The number of days is determined by the safari activities you have planned and the travel budget.

Accommodation: We always advise our clients to book accommodation in advance, and this is because it is always in high demand, especially during the dry season, when the country has large crowds of tourists. Talk to us to help you secure accommodation that is to your preference and is not beyond your budget. You get to choose between budget, mid-range and luxury accommodation facilities.

The best time to go: Tanzania is an all-around year-round safari destination, but the best time is during the dry season from December to February and June to September. The dry season is the best time to go for game drives because many of the animals gather around the watering holes to cool off from the heat. You can still visit Tanzania during the wet season from March to May and October to November especially if you love less crowds, do not mind the rain and are travelling on a budget.

Note that the best time to visit is mainly determined by the safari activities you wish to put on your itinerary.

The dry season is also the peak season, so expect large crowds during this period and a hike in the costs of the different services.

The cost of the safari: The cost of the Tanzania safari is determined by several factors, and these include the group size, accommodation, transport, the length of the safari, season of travel and the activities for your safari, among others. You can either have a luxury or budget-friendly safari to Tanzania, and we are here to help you navigate the budget and other costs.

For tourists who want to have an unforgettable experience but in a budget, you can opt for travelling in groups is have shared safari packages, here many of the costs can be shared, avoid luxury accommodation facilities but instead opt for basic or mid-range accommodation facilities, choose the less visited national parks and safari destinations, visit during the low season and choose Encounter Africa Safaris to help you with the planning process.
