Planning your Tanzania trip
Best time to go: June to August has comfortable days and cool evenings. January to February is a good time for the Serengeti migration, but it can be very hot. Long rains from March to May can close resorts and make park trails impassable.
- Northern safari parksThe Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara and Tarangire form the Northern Circuit. Tour companies offer many packages for these parks.
- Southern safari parksSelous, Mikumi and Ruaha form the Southern Circuit. Iringa is a useful base for exploring the south.
- ZanzibarThe island has white-sand beaches, palm trees and Indian Ocean waters.
- BagamoyoHistoric slave-trade sites offer a serious look at the area's past.
Scams to watch for in Tanzania
- Persistent sellers and street toutsSellers or touts approach visitors and keep offering goods or services. In Arusha, some follow people along the street. These approaches can feel intimidating, though the touts are usually harmless.
- Fake ebony souvenirsWooden souvenirs are sold as ebony even though they are cheaper wood darkened with shoe polish. Much of the ebony offered in tourist markets is described this way.
- Street mugging and bag robberyThieves threaten or attack people to take bags, wallets and other valuables. In Dar es Salaam, this can happen in daylight. In Arusha, people arriving or leaving with backpacks are particular targets.
