By Stacey Burt


Tanzania is home to breathtaking scenery and a host of wildlife attractions. From mountain climbs, the plains of Serengeti and the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar, you stand to have an experience of a lifetime in this country. If you are planning visiting this country for a safari, you are in for an experience of a lifetime. However, the success of your visit will only be realized if you get the best Tanzania safari packages. The following are some of the things you need to know.

With a vast footprint, Tanzanian tourism attractions are divided into circuits. These are the western, southern and northern circuits, with the northern one being most popular. This can be attributed to the fact that it hosts the massive Mount Kilimanjaro national park, Mt. Meru, Arusha, Tarangire, lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro conservation area. This circuit is also at the heart of Maasai community, hence you are able to appreciate the lifestyle of this tribe.

There are many people who have visited Tanzania and have different experiences. Asking for referrals is hence one of the best approaches you can use to find a suitable service provider. If you have friends who visited this country and enjoyed their safari, have them provide a referral. They should also give reasons why they think you will also enjoy your visit.

Tour packages are hugely defined by the preferences of a visitor and the budget. They are classified as luxury or classic, deluxe and budget. Luxury packages involves high end accommodation in top class hotels and lodges inside national parks and reserves. Flight charter safaris are a good example of luxury travels. Deluxe safaris are the most common ones, involving accommodation in excellent facilities and small sized groups while budget safaris may involve tented camps.

With competition getting stiffer in this industry, tour operators are now providing tailor made safari packages. Depending on your specifics, or if you have special needs, they are able to fuse aspects of a luxury safari with a budget one, so as to perfectly meet your requirements. It is hence very important that you discuss your preferences with your prospective tour company and see if you can get a deal that will maximize your experience in East Africa.

The season you visit can also influence your experience in this country. If you are an enthusiast of the wildebeest migration, then you should plan your visit to coincide with their movement either to the Mara or returning from Maasai Mara. Cultural tourism is quickly becoming a favorite of many visitors. If you also want to learn the way of life of Tanzanian tribes, especially the Maasai and Waarusha, ensure it is clearly included in your itinerary.

Consider comparing packages from a number of tour operators. Their websites are usually rich with information on what they offer so you can easily get an idea of what to expect. There are companies which are able to customize their packages such that to accommodate your preferences.

When thinking of visiting East Africa, it is important that you plan well. This involves getting information about what is provided and whether you can get customized packages. Asking friends who have visited and had a wonderful time will start you on the right footing.
