How to Plan Your First Tanzania Safari

Planning your first safari can feel exciting and confusing at the same time. Tanzania is one of the best places in Africa to see wildlife, beautiful landscapes, and local culture. But how to plan your first Tanzania safari the right way? This guide will help you understand what to expect and how to make it unforgettable.

1. Choose the Right Time to Visit

The best time to visit Tanzania depends on what you want to see. June to October is the dry season — animals are easier to spot around waterholes. This is also the best time to catch the Great Migration in the Serengeti. From November to March, it’s green and less crowded, perfect for bird lovers and those on a budget.

2. Pick Your Safari Destinations

Tanzania has many amazing parks, so plan based on your interests.

Serengeti National Park – Best for the Great Migration and big cats.
Ngorongoro Crater – A natural wonder with many animals in a small area.
Tarangire – Famous for elephants and ancient baobab trees.
Lake Manyara – Tree-climbing lions and flamingos.

With Nas Royal Safaris, you can visit one park or combine a few into one exciting trip.

3. Decide Between Luxury or Budget

Are you looking for a comfortable lodge with hot showers and views, or do you want to sleep under the stars in a cozy tent?
We help you choose based on your budget and travel style. Whether you’re on a honeymoon or solo adventure, there’s something for everyone.

4. What to Pack for Your First Safari

Wear light clothes in earthy colors like green or brown. Don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen, insect spray, and a camera with extra batteries. Days can be hot, but mornings and evenings are cool — pack a warm jacket just in case.
