We always respond within 24 hours.

How much does a safari in Tanzania cost?

The price of a safari in Tanzania varies depending on the itinerary, duration, and type of accommodations chosen (ranging from mid-range lodges to luxury accommodations). Our packages include most services (guide, transportation, park entrance fees, meals), while international flights are not included. In general, a trip with us can range from €700 to €3,000 per person, depending on the number of days and the type of tour.

A breakdown by item is provided in the guide to the costs of a safari in Tanzania.

When to go to Tanzania?

The best time to visit depends on what you’re looking for: the dry season (June–October) is ideal for wildlife sightings, as animals congregate around water sources; from July to September, you can also witness the Great Migration in the Serengeti. The rainy seasons (March–May and November) offer greener landscapes and lower prices, but come with a greater likelihood of short, heavy showers. Temperatures remain mild all year round, ranging from 15°C to 31°C depending on the area and the month.

What should you pack for a safari in Tanzania?

Lightweight, layered clothing is the best choice: temperatures in the parks can vary considerably between day and night, particularly in the Ngorongoro Crater area. We recommend comfortable, neutral-coloured clothing (avoiding dark blue, which attracts tsetse flies), a light jacket for dawn excursions, walking boots, a pair of binoculars, high-factor sun cream, insect repellent and a torch. For those also tackling Kilimanjaro or the Zanzibar extension, the equipment required changes significantly: you’ll find specific lists in the trekking and beach holiday information sheets.

What vaccinations are required for Tanzania?

No vaccinations are compulsory for those arriving directly from Italy. The yellow fever vaccine is only compulsory for those coming from, or transiting through, a country at risk of transmission in the hours prior to arrival in Tanzania. Certain vaccinations (hepatitis A, typhoid, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis) are, however, recommended by travel medicine centres, although they are not required for entry. For a complete and up-to-date list, including the new insurance requirement for visitors to Zanzibar, please refer to our dedicated guide on vaccinations.

Do you need a visa to enter Tanzania?

Yes, a tourist visa is compulsory for all Italian citizens. It must be applied for exclusively online (it is no longer possible to obtain it in person at the Embassy in Rome) via the Tanzanian government’s official portal or, in Italian, via the Honorary Consulate in Milan. The official cost of a single-entry tourist visa is 50 USD (plus any service charges if you use an agency), and it is valid for up to 90 days. It must be applied for at least 10 days before departure. You will also need a passport with at least six months’ validity remaining.

Which airport should you choose to fly into Tanzania?

It depends on your itinerary: Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) is the most convenient for those visiting the northern parks (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Manyara) and is the airport we arrange most of our arrivals through. Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam serves southern Tanzania best, whilst Zanzibar Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) is just 5 km from Stone Town, making it ideal for those combining a safari with a beach holiday. When you book, we’ll advise you on the most suitable airport for your specific itinerary.

What is the currency of Tanzania and how does the exchange rate work?

The official currency is the Tanzanian shilling (TZS). The exchange rate against the euro fluctuates over time, so we recommend that you always check it shortly before departure using an up-to-date currency converter. In practice, US dollars and euros in cash are widely accepted in hotels, lodges and for larger payments, whilst local shillings are useful for markets, small purchases and tips.

How many days are needed for a safari?

A high-quality safari requires at least 5–6 days to fully explore the main parks in the north (Arusha, Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro), whilst avoiding overly rushed travel between them. Our most popular itineraries last between 9 and 10 days, to ensure sufficient time in each park and a better chance of seeing key wildlife. Those wishing to combine their trip with a beach holiday in Zanzibar should allow for a total of 10–14 days.

Can you combine a safari with a holiday in Zanzibar?

Yes, it’s one of our most popular combinations and one of our key strengths: after a few days visiting the national parks in the north, a direct transfer takes you to the beaches of Zanzibar (Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani) for some time by the sea and relaxation. We offer a range of Tanzania + Zanzibar packages with varying durations and accommodation standards.

Is Tanzania a safe destination for tourists?

Tanzania is generally considered a safe destination for travellers, with a well-organised tourism sector, particularly in the national park areas. As with any trip abroad, the usual precautions still apply (avoid isolated areas at night, and keep your documents and valuables safe). Using a tour operator with experienced local guides, as we have done, further reduces the risks associated with travel and logistics within the country.

Do you need travel insurance to go to Zanzibar?

Yes, from 2024, the Zanzibar authorities will require all visitors to the archipelago to take out local health insurance, regardless of any other policies they may already have. The insurance costs around 44 USD per person and is valid for 92 days; it applies exclusively to Zanzibar, not to mainland Tanzania. You can find all the details in our updated guide to vaccinations and health requirements.

Beautiful experience!! A unique and unforgettable experience. We were very lucky because we met a guide named Christian, who was very capable and experienced and allowed us to see all the animals. Including the morning hunt!! Helpful, humble, never intrusive or pushy, and knowledgeable! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

5-day safari in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire I spent beautiful days immersed in nature, among many animals and welcoming, smiling people. Kalvin, our guide and driver, was perfect, ready to listen to us, fulfill our requests, joke with us, but always respectful toward us and the park rules, a true professional. A big round of applause also to young Emanuel who accompanied me on the last day through the city of Arusha, taking me to local museums and markets, guiding me with confidence, friendliness, and the professionalism of an expert guide. A big thank you to both of you. Nature, company, and organization at the top! Davide M.

Safari to discover Tanzania. We relied on Safari Avventura for the organization of our safari in Tanzania. We chose a 5-night group tour, during which we stayed in very beautiful and welcoming lodges and tented camps. I recommend the group safari, as it gave us the chance to meet new people and share the experience with others. Hasheem, our guide, was simply fantastic. He is friendly, very knowledgeable and professional, speaks perfect Italian and English, and is always ready to tell some anecdotes thanks to which he made us know and appreciate the culture of Tanzania. During the 5 days of Safari we visited extraordinary parks, each with a characteristic landscape and fauna. Furthermore, we were lucky enough to witness a live hunting scene. Daniela from Safari Avventura was also able to assist and advise us in the best way during the booking phase. Having an Italian office and staff to deal with is definitely a plus for this tour operator. Highly recommended!

INCREDIBLE Abel has been the best guide we could have had! Attentive, super punctual, always willing and with a lot of knowledge that he shared with us. Thanks to him, the safari was unforgettable. We visited the main parks and the accommodations were wonderful in cleanliness, meals, and staff. But, without a doubt, the best part of the trip was being able to see all the animals and Abel!

Exceptional Abel. I have no words to describe this experience. It has been pure magic and a large part of it has been thanks to the guide we got. Abel is a wonderful person, respectful and super attentive. He explained each park to us perfectly and did everything possible (and succeeded) so that we could see all the animals. We have no words to thank him for what he has managed to mean to us in just one week. Everyone should enjoy the experience with a guide who is on the same level as Abel. Forever grateful.

Super recommended agency: Safari Avventura and Calvin Fransic I found this agency online, among Instagram posts, and after much research, I decided to entrust Safari Avventura with our 7-day tour. 5 full days immersed in nature in search of the animals that live in these lands. We took the trip in August. Choosing this agency turned out to be the best choice we could have made. Everything was organized in detail from the airport pickup to the return, beautiful facilities always ready to welcome us warmly, good food both in the evening at the resorts and packed lunches for the excursion days. An incredible trip made unique by our incredible guide Calvin Fransic, who was ready to answer all my thousand “whys,” always with enthusiasm and passion for his work. Calvin speaks Italian, but not only that; in our jeep, along with us 4 Italians, there were 2 French people, and Calvin juggled both languages excellently, just as he drove with agility on the dirt roads of the savanna. Calvin and the entire Safari Avventura organization made this trip even more unforgettable! Highly recommended

Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Safari Aventura All the parks we visited were absolutely amazing, and we are delighted to say that we encountered the Big Five several times, as well as more than 45 different species of animals throughout our safari. The Land Cruiser was excellent and in impeccable condition, making the long drives through the parks very comfortable. Most importantly, our driver, Hasheem, was simply amazing. Not only was he an excellent and highly skilled driver on the challenging dirt roads, but his knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and animal species was truly impressive. He always knew where to go and somehow managed to make things happen, giving us countless unforgettable encounters with wildlife. I can wholeheartedly recommend Safari Aventura to anyone looking for an exceptional safari experience. We left Tanzania with the best memories and a huge appreciation for the incredible wildlife and landscapes we experienced. A truly above-and-beyond experience!

A PERFECT ORGANIZATION. QUALITY AND SERVICE The best way to enjoy a trip to a place like Tanzania is to organize it through someone who is an expert in that country. This agency is listed as one of the best in Tanzania and that is why we chose it... Everything was made easy to adapt the trip to our needs, both in duration and in the level of accommodations, something that is not common in travel agencies.... I must say that we chose correctly. From our arrival at Kilimanjaro airport, the assistance service was perfect. Also the hotels, camps, and lodges which, without being the most luxurious in the country, were very well chosen for their location and quality. The guide and driver they assigned us to tour the Serengeti was excellent, always helpful and punctual. The off-road vehicle we were in was in perfect condition every morning, since the driver left it spotless every day after hard days on impossible roads. Some journeys are long, many of them on dirt roads full of potholes that put your spine to the test, but unless you travel by small plane (which makes the tour more expensive), there is no other way to visit this wonderful place, besides the fact that you lose the opportunity to see very curious scenes of the local people. Another pleasant surprise, apart from the trust that this agency offers, is verifying that the price of the tour is lower than that of a specialized agency in Spain, which is very much appreciated.

Magical Safari We are 7 friends from Bologna and we did a 7-day Safari in the northern parks of Tanzania. It was a wonderful trip organized to perfection; we managed to see all 5 of the Big Five up close, as well as all sorts of animals and birds, thanks also to the patience and experience of our guides. A shout-out to Aaron and Lamek, excellent drivers and guides who speak ITALIAN and are always ready to fulfill our every request with kindness and professionalism! The experience with Safari Avventura was excellent, so we recommend it!
