❌ Avoid unless you are a budget traveler who doesn't mind getting stuck in the mud.

🎯 Best Time to Visit Tanzania

The best time to visit Tanzania is from July to October for the dry season and the Great Migration river crossings. February is also spectacular for the wildebeest calving season in the Southern Serengeti.

💰 Budget Guide: Tanzania

Budget ($150-200/day via group camping) / Mid-range ($400-600/day) / Luxury ($900-$2500+/day). Tanzania is slightly more expensive than Kenya due to incredibly high daily park fees (especially for Ngorongoro Crater).

✈️ Getting to Tanzania

For the Northern Circuit (Serengeti/Kilimanjaro), fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). For the Southern Circuit or Zanzibar, fly into Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam.

⚠️ Wichtige Reisetipps Tanzania

🥶

Pack for Freezing Mornings

The Ngorongoro Crater rim sits at 2,300m (7,500ft) altitude. In June and July, early mornings can drop to 5°C (41°F). Bring a thick fleece, a beanie, and a windbreaker.

🪰

Avoid Blue and Black

Tsetse flies (which have a nasty, painful bite) are highly attracted to dark blue and black clothing. Stick to neutral colors like khaki, tan, and olive green.

💵

Bring US Dollars

Most lodges quote and accept USD. Ensure all your bills were printed after 2009 and have no tears or markings, or local banks will reject them.

🎒

Soft Duffel Bags

If you are taking a light aircraft (bush flight) between parks or to Zanzibar, you must pack in a soft-sided duffel bag. Hard suitcases will be left on the tarmac.

🛡️ Empfohlene Reiseversicherung

Get travel insurance for peace of mind.
