Country Information
Tanzania is a wildlife lover’s dream, a country of endless plains, timeless landscapes, beautiful beaches and plentiful game. There are two safari circuits; one taking in the major parks of the north including the Serengeti and the other, visiting the remote wilderness of the larger reserves in the south such as the Selous. The perfect destination for a first time safari, Tanzania has so much to offer.

When to Go
Tanzania has a pleasant tropical climate with humidity increasing towards the coast.
There are two rainy seasons; the ‘short rains’ (November to December) and long rains (March to May). During the ‘short rains’ downpours tend to be brief before the sunshine returns. During the ‘long rains’ downpours can last for hours or sometimes even days.
The southern parks are at their best between July and October when they are at their driest and animals congregate at water sources.
Getting There
Fly indirectly with British Airways or Kenya Airways via Nairobi, Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa, Emirates via Dubai and Qatar Airways via Doha.
