How To Plan For Safaris To Tanzania

How To Plan For Safaris To Tanzania

by Christa Jarvis

Tanzania is arguably one of the best kept secrets in Africa playing host to some of the best national parks and game reserves in the region. There are many natural highlights found on different safari circuits, a notable one being the recently classified eighth wonder of the world: the great wildebeest migration. Furthermore, there are many excellent places to stay within incredible wildlife areas. With the right choice of a tour company, itinerary and season, <A href="http://www.safaristartours.com">safaris to Tanzania</A> can be a fulfilling experience.

Dealing with first things first, you will need to select a time of the year that will be suitable for your safari. Game viewing can happen all year round, but if you want something specific, such as the great wildebeest migration, you may need to travel during its season. Tour seasons may also affect the costs of safari, with many hotels recording near full bookings during peak seasons.

The most common classifications of safaris are standard and luxury. A standard safari involves accommodation in lodges and tented camps. They are less expensive compared to luxury ones. Tented camps however, do not have many amenities as the high end properties and have buffet meals. Tented camps gives you a chance to sleep in nature and sometimes you might be able to do bush walks and night drives.

Game safari in Tanzania is divided in three major circuits, namely Northern, Western and Southern circuits. The northern circuit is the most popular one, hosting parks such as Tarangire, Arusha, Serengeti and Lake Manyara national parks. Ngorongoro conservation area, a pre-historic site is also found in this circuit and is popular for its crater lake and easy sight of the big five.

If you are thinking of a low cost safari and would like to experience east Africa off the beaten track while camping in remote unexploited locations, then camping safari should be your choice. Unlike other campsites in African parks and reserves, the ones in Tanzania tend not to be fenced. There are chances that you will see elephants or buffaloes wandering close by. This is of course under the close watch of experienced game rangers and guides.

Another important thing you should check is the cost of safari. Experienced service providers are able to come up with an itinerary that fits your budget, however tight it might be. For a very low cost safari, tour companies can join you with a group of other travelers and give you a tented camping option.

After getting a list of prospective companies, the first thing you need to check is how long they have been in the business and if they are licensed by the government to provide these services. You do not want a situation where your safari is cut short by the tourist police or tax department. Ask to be given an itinerary and then evaluate it.

A safari to Tanzania can be something special, and whatever your age, budget, experience and interests, you should be able to find a package that suits you. However, ensure you make the right choices and decisions. This can only be achieved if you select the most suitable safari company.
