Faqs
Is it safe to go on safari in Tanzania?
Yes, Tanzania is a safe safari destination, especially when traveling with experienced guides like those from Mtila Safaris. Always follow your guide's advice and safety protocols while in the bush.
What is the best time to visit Tanzania for a safari?
The dry season from June to October offers the best wildlife viewing, but the green season (November to March) is also great for birding and seeing baby animals, especially in the Serengeti.

Pack neutral-colored clothing, a hat, sunscreen, comfortable shoes, insect repellent, and a good camera. Layers are helpful for early morning drives and cooler evenings.
