How to Make the Most Out of Your Tanzania Safari Holiday

Going on a Safari Holiday in Tanzania is normally something that not everyone gets the opportunity to do. If you are one of the lucky ones to go on a safari in Africa, then you will have to ensure that you will be getting the most out of the experience. Below are some tips on how to make the most out of your safari in Tanzania.

 

There are normally three kinds of safari available to you. Luxury safaris are the higher end safaris that are suitable to those that have a high budget and expectations. Private safaris are the most common type, and they ensure that you choose the parks to visit, which hotel to stay at and what dates you will travel on. You will also have access to a private car. Shared group safaris mean that you join a safari which is pre-arranged. These are ideal for solo travelers looking for company and those that have low budgets. Go to this link for more info. 

 

If you are new to Tanzania or are a first-time safari-goer, you should visit the Northern circuit of Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater. But, if you have already visited the Northern Circuit in a previous Safari, then you can go to the South to Selous Game Reserve and take some time to explore the surrounding area.

 

There are three types of accommodation that you can select from. Camping is the cheapest option, but those who are scared of being out in the bush should not take it up. It is a great choice for those that love getting close to nature. Tented camps are quite luxurious and built with canvas roofs and solid bases. It is a common misconception that tented camps are cheap options. They are not. They allow one to get close to nature as they feel comfortable which is a popular option among those that go for Safari. Lodges are a great place to stay, but you will not always be close to nature as you would with tented camps.

 

You should pack some sun block, sun lotion, UV-protected sunglasses and a big hat for protection from the sun which may result in sunstroke or burnt skin if you are over exposed to the sun without enough protection. You can pack beige colored clothing and one or more long trousers and comfortable walking boots. A pair of binoculars, camera and guide books are all items which may be useful for your safari experience. Check out this homepage for more information and to get started.
