Tanzania
Tanzania is East Africa at its most spectacular: the endless grass of the Serengeti, the crater walls of Ngorongoro, vast elephant herds in Tarangire, and the white-sand shores of Zanzibar all within one country. It is a place that rewards first-time safari travellers with sightings that feel almost too generous to be real, and Wildtouch builds every journey here around Jacob's first-hand knowledge of the parks and the seasons.
Overview
Why Tanzania?
Tanzania is East Africa at its most spectacular: the endless grass of the Serengeti, the crater walls of Ngorongoro, vast elephant herds in Tarangire, and the white-sand shores of Zanzibar all within one country. It is a place that rewards first-time safari travellers with sightings that feel almost too generous to be real, and Wildtouch builds every journey here around Jacob's first-hand knowledge of the parks and the seasons.
Getting around is straightforward once you arrive: most travellers fly into Kilimanjaro (JRO) for the northern circuit or Julius Nyerere International (DAR) for Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and the south. English is widely spoken alongside Swahili, the people are famously warm, and a little planning before you fly means you can relax into the experience the moment you land.
Best time to visit
The best time to visit Tanzania is during the dry season (June to October). This is the prime time and best time to see the wild game. Coinciding with the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti in the months of June & July, you are yet to see one of the best wildlife experiences in your lifetime. To witness the Calving season, visit Tanzania in the months of late January to February.
Monthly Highlights:
Wildlife
Tanzania is a top-tier safari destination. The quality of wildlife and the whole safari experience is excellent.

All of the circuits are very interesting with a combination of the different things that they offer, they make Tanzania an amazing wildlife destination.
The Big Five are the most sought-after wildlife and they can be easily seen.
Getting there
You can get to Tanzania through the major airports Kilimanjaro International Airport or Julius Nyerere International Airport.
Kilimanjaro International Airport is the entry point to visiting the most visited Northern circuit.
