Can you accommodate dietary requirements?

Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and most other dietary requirements can be accommodated at the lodges and camps we work with — just let us know when you book so we can confirm with each property in advance.

What is the best time of year for a Tanzania safari?

It depends what you want to see. June to October (dry season) offers the best general game viewing with animals concentrated around water sources. December to March is calving season on the Ndutu Plains, with extraordinary predator action. The Great Migration river crossings typically happen July–October in the Mara/northern Serengeti. We tailor your itinerary to your travel dates and priorities.

How many days do I need for a good Tanzania safari?

A minimum of 3–4 days lets you experience 2 parks properly. 5–7 days is our most popular range, allowing time in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti without feeling rushed. Longer itineraries (8+ days) allow for a more relaxed pace, additional parks, or a Zanzibar beach extension.

Are the safari vehicles shared with other travelers?

No — every Let\’s Wander Tanzania safari uses a private 4×4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof, exclusively for your group. We don\’t combine unrelated travelers into the same vehicle, so your pace, stops, and photography time are entirely your own.

What should I pack for a Tanzania safari?

Neutral-colored clothing (khaki, olive, tan), a warm layer for early morning game drives, sun protection, comfortable closed shoes, binoculars, and a camera with a zoom lens if you have one. We send a detailed packing list once your safari is confirmed, tailored to your specific itinerary and season.
