By Leslie Ball


Tanzania boats a wide range of tourist attractions. From the Serengeti plains, a trek or climb on the tallest standing mountain in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro to the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar and Dare salaam. There is a lot to enjoy visiting this beautiful country. However, the success of your Tanzania safari will heavily be dependent on how you plan for it. The following are some of basic things you need to know when planning visiting this country.

Before you hit the search engines in search of potential tour companies, there are a number of things you need to educate yourself first. Research on some of the tourist attractions this country offers, the best times to visit and how to navigate through the country. Educating yourself on your planned safari will help you to make informed choices and thus help you maximize your trip.

Another thing you may want to learn is the best time to visit. Wildlife attractions are divided into seasons, with the high season being between June and November as well as between January and March. However, you are able to view significant number of wildlife throughout the years. Keep in mind that bookings during peak seasons are usually more expensive.

There are also health concerns and vaccinations that you need to consider. In addition to your primary Tetanus, Polio, Diphtheria and whooping cough vaccinations, you should get vaccinated against Typhoid and Hepatitis B. Remember that you might be asked to present a yellow fever vaccination card upon arrival. Make sure you consult your doctor about vaccinations and components of your first aid box, including anti malaria treatment.

After locating at least three service providers, make a point of going through their safari packages on their website. The presence of many tour companies means that they provide a wide range of services. If you are thinking of a budget trip, then a company that is experienced in providing camping safari will be the most ideal choice. You can also check if they cover the whole circuit you are thinking of.

Irrespective of the approach used in locating tour companies, it is important that you check their suitability for your expeditions. If you have made up your mind on places you want to visit, ask them to draft an itinerary. While most companies have already drafted itineraries, the right service provider should be able to customize it to suit your travel needs. Compare itineraries of at least three companies so you are able to know which one is more reasonable.

Another important consideration is the choice of a tour company. Depending on the circuits you want to do, it is important that you settle for an operator that is experienced and well equipped. One of the best ways of finding prospective tour companies is asking for word of mouth referrals from friends who had a wonderful travel experience. Let them give reasons why they think that operator will be suitable for your travel needs.

The choice of a tour company is crucial. Ensure you are informed about their registration status, experience, and reputation in the industry and the type of guides they offer. Consider asking for referrals from friends and family who had a wonderful experience visiting this country.
