Best Activities on a Luxury African Safari
In African safaris, adventure goes beyond just seeing local wildlife. You can also enjoy a variety of thrilling and unique activities. From guided bush walks and cultural visits to hot air balloon rides over the savannah, there’s something for everyone seeking an unforgettable experience in Africa.
Walking Safaris
In Tanzania, you can enjoy walking safaris in specific parts of national parks where there are few predator risks. Armed rangers accompany these safaris to ensure your safety. Top spots for these experiences include parts of Arusha, Tarangire, and Serengeti national parks.
Game Drives
Game drives are at the heart of every safari. They involve riding in a special safari vehicle in national parks to see wild animals and Africa’s beautiful landscapes. Our knowledgeable guides help you learn about animal behaviors, habitats, and how the savannah ecosystem works.
Night Drives
Night game drives, allowed in specific areas like Lake Manyara, reveal a different side of the savannah with its nighttime animals. You might see rare creatures such as porcupines, aardvarks, genets, and civet cats that hide during the day. This adventure gives a thrilling view of the savannah’s diverse wildlife at night.
Hot Air Balloon Flights
Since drones are banned in most African parks, the hot air balloon safari becomes the top choice for seeing the savannah from above. In Africa, luxury travel often includes amazing hot air balloon rides, which are surprisingly accessible. You can experience these unforgettable journeys in Tanzania’s Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks.

Tanzania Travel Tips
Here we answer your top questions regarding need-to-know Tanzania travel tips
Is Tanzania Safe to Travel?
I want to visit Tanzania, but is it safe? This is a question that regularly comes up from our clients seeking Tanzania travel advice. The short answer? Yes! Tanzania is one of the safest destinations in Africa, with more than 1 million tourists visiting the country every year. Traveling with the travel experts at Tanzania Specialist, safety is paramount. Our private safari experiences with knowledgeable, professional guides enhance your experience in Tanzania and ensure your total peace of mind.
What is the Population of Tanzania?
The population of Tanzania is almost 60 million. One of Africa’s most ethnically diverse countries, around 125 different ethnic groups live in Tanzania, with more than 100 different languages spoken nationwide.
The Tanzanian people are well-known for their hospitality, often warmly welcoming tourists to experience their beautiful nature, wildlife and culture. Meeting the locals is one of the best ways to really learn more about a country and its culture.
Do I Need a Visa for Tanzania?
Most international travelers will need a visa to travel to Tanzania. Your visa can be requested online through the official visa website from the Tanzanian government. Please note that this is the only official link for Tanzania visa applications.
It is also possible to get a tourist or business visa for a single entry on arrival at the main ports of entry to Tanzania. This visa for Tanzania is valid for three months. You may be asked to provide proof of your return journey, and costs are $50 per person, US Citizens $100 per person.
Passport Requirements
Passports should have at least six months of validity after the final day of travel.
What is the best time to go on a Tanzania safari?
The best time to go on a Tanzania safari is during the dry season, from June to October. During these months, the weather is cooler and drier, and wildlife congregates around water sources, making it easier to spot animals. The famous Great Migration in the Serengeti, where millions of wildebeest and zebras journey across the plains, typically happens around July to September. However, the wet season from November to May also has its perks, as landscapes are lush and beautiful, and the birdwatching is excellent with migratory species present. Additionally, there are fewer tourists during this period, which can make for a quieter, more intimate safari experience.
Do I need vaccinations to travel to Tanzania?
Yes, travelers to Tanzania are recommended to get certain vaccinations to protect their health. Yellow fever vaccination is required if you are arriving from or transiting through a yellow fever-endemic country. Other recommended vaccines include hepatitis A, typhoid, and in some cases, hepatitis B and rabies. Malaria is prevalent in Tanzania, so it’s also important to take antimalarial medication and bring mosquito repellents, especially if you’ll be in areas with high malaria risk. Consulting a travel health clinic several weeks before departure is a good idea, as they can provide up-to-date information and suggest additional precautions based on your specific travel plans.
What is the Time in Tanzania?
Tanzania is GMT + 3. To put that into terms we all understand, check out the time difference from Tanzania to LA, New York, London and more below.
- Los Angeles: -10 hours
- New York: -7 hours
- London: -3 hours
- Berlin: -2 hours
- Hong Kong: +5 hours
- Tokyo: +6 hours
- Sydney: + 8 hours
- Auckland: +10 hours
What Is the Currency of Tanzania?
The local currency is the Tanzanian shilling, although dollars and euros are also accepted in most places in Tanzania.
Language in Tanzania
Swahili and English are the official languages in Tanzania, but Swahili is spoken by almost everyone. In the tourism sector, however, English is widely spoken by the majority of people.
Can I take children on the African safari?
Yes, taking children on a Tanzania safari is possible, and it can be a wonderful family adventure with proper planning. Many lodges and tour operators offer family-friendly safari packages and accommodations with tailored activities to keep children engaged, like kid-friendly game drives, nature walks, and cultural experiences. It’s generally best to plan shorter game drives to suit young children’s attention spans and select parks with easy access and less travel time, like Tarangire or Ngorongoro Crater. However, be mindful of age restrictions, as some lodges or activities may have minimum age requirements. With the right preparation, a Tanzania safari can be an exciting and educational experience for children, giving them a unique chance to learn about wildlife and conservation firsthand.
