Frequently Asked Questions

If you are coming from North America or Europe, we recommend flying KLM to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). If you are coming from Australasia, Emirates has the best deals and fly into Nairobi and Dar es Salaam daily. Kilimanjaro Airport is a one hour drive from Arusha while Dar es Salaam and Nairobi are a one hour flight or several hour bus ride from Arusha. If planning a visit to Zanzibar or Pemba during your Tanzanian holiday, consider flying into Dar es Salaam and then flying to Kilimanjaro for your safari and climb.

Maasai Wanderings books East Africa internal travel, including flights, bus rides and shuttles. Your tickets will be kept in the office for you or mailed to you, depending on your first destination. For international flights, please contact MW and we will provide you with contact information for our travel agent in South Africa and Australia – who will look after you.

All airport taxes are now included with most flights, both domestically and internationally.

Charter companies like Regional Air, Flightlink, Coastal Aviation and commercial airlines like Precision Air are the best way to get to Zanzibar. There are many daily flights departing from mid-morning to early evening and MW can help you book any of those to fit in with your itinerary.

Before landing, complete the arrival card given on the plane. After going through immigration, collecting your bags, and passing customs, proceed to the waiting area where someone will be holding a sign with your name or our company logo.

The best time to travel depends on your destination. Generally, avoid the heavy rains from March to May. August and September typically offer the best weather and animal viewing opportunities. For specific information, refer to the destination details on our website.

During July-October the weather is pleasant, and animal sightings are at their peak. This period also coincides with the Wildebeest Great Migration. December-March is also excellent, especially in southern Serengeti for the calving season, which attracts predators.

For safaris, bring light, breathable clothing suitable for hot and humid weather. Hiking pants are recommended for areas with tall grass. Pack warm clothes for cooler nights, especially during the dry season. Closed-in walking shoes and a hat are essential. Stick to earthy colors like greens and browns to avoid attracting insects. Don’t forget insect repellent, water bottles, and basic hygiene products.

While there’s no age limit for safaris, children must be able to follow instructions for their safety. Safaris are typically more suitable for children over 12, but we have hosted families with younger kids. Many properties offer children’s programs to keep young ones engaged.

A typical safari day starts early, around 6-8 AM, with breakfast followed by a morning game drive until lunchtime. You’ll return to your accommodation for lunch and relaxation before heading out for an afternoon drive, often ending with sundowners. Alternatively, you can take a packed lunch for a full-day outing. Evenings are usually spent having dinner, showering, and resting. After dinner, most guests are ready for bed due to the long, activity-filled days.

Kenya is a popular subject for writers! However compared to the wealth of information available on some other Africa countries, only a limited number of books have been written about the wider aspects of life and travel in Tanzania. Here is a small selection of recommended titles on both countries to provide background information or to get you in the mood before you leave. For more choice visit a good book shop.

We have three trips that are regular scheduled group departures. These trips leave with a minimum of two people and a maximum of twelve people per departure.

1. Tanzania Explorer – budget wildlife & culture – departures every Sunday throughout the season
2. Wildlife Wonders – mid-range wildlife & culture – departures every second Sunday throughout the season
3. Kilimanjaro 7 day Machame Trek – departures every Sunday throughout the season

Single supplements do apply to guarantee a single room.

For the best wildlife viewing, visit Tanzania during the dry seasons of November/December to February, and July to September. To avoid the crowds, visit in May, June or November.

The driest month to climb Kilimanjaro is September. However, it is also one of the coldest and busiest. Because Kilimanjaro is such a large mountain, it has its own weather pattern and it often rains on Kilimanjaro when it is not raining elsewhere. You should prepare for rain and have your rain gear with you at all times while on the mountain.

Late March through late May represents the period of long rains in Tanzania. This is usually not an ideal time to plan a safari because of the potential for sudden downpours. Directly after the long rains, however, is a wonderful time to visit Tanzania’s national parks due to the abundance of wildflowers and vegetation. It is also a wonderful time to go on safari because the level of dust and the number of tourists is minimal. July through October is Tanzania’s dry season and also the high season for tourism. This is the best time to view wildlife as grasses are virtually nonexistent. It is usually very dusty and can be cold at higher elevations such as Ngorongoro Crater. Tanzania’s short rains occur from late October through mid December. This is a low season for tourism in Tanzania. December through March is Tanzania’s “summer” and many tourists visit during late December and January for optimal game viewing.

Rainy season safaris can be challenging due to potentially damaged or inaccessible roads. However, you’ll also experience fewer crowds and stunning wildflowers. Be prepared with a raincoat and warm clothes.

What Are the Responsible Safari Protocols?
When traveling on safari, it’s important to act responsibly to ensure a positive experience for both yourself and the communities and environments you visit. Here are our guidelines for responsible travel:

1.Travel with an Open Mind: Approach your journey with a genuine desire to learn from the people and cultures you encounter.

2.Respect Local Cultures: Be aware of the feelings and customs of others. Avoid behaviors that might be offensive, and always be sensitive when taking photos—ask permission when in doubt.

3.Listen and Observe: Cultivate the habit of listening and observing rather than just hearing and seeing. This allows for a deeper understanding of your surroundings.

4.Appreciate Differences: Understand that the people you meet may have different time concepts and thought patterns. These differences don’t make them inferior—just different. Embrace and enjoy these cultural distinctions.

5.Protect the Environment: Respect and protect the natural environment. Instead of focusing solely on stunning views, look for the richness of local culture and ways of life.

6.Learn Local Customs: Familiarize yourself with local customs. What is considered courteous in one culture may be offensive in another. People are usually happy to help you understand their traditions.

7.Ask Questions: Instead of assuming you know all the answers, ask questions. This will help you gain a deeper understanding of the places and people you visit.

8.Avoid Expecting Special Privileges: Remember that you are one of many visitors. Do not expect special treatment or privileges.

9.Be Mindful When Shopping: When bargaining, remember that a “great deal” might be possible because of the low wages paid to the maker.
Consider the dignity and fairness of the transaction.

10.Keep Promises: Make no promises to people in your host country unless you intend to fulfill them. It’s important to follow through on commitments.

11.Be Modest About Wealth: Enjoy yourself, but be aware that an extravagant display of wealth can be insensitive in areas where people may live with much less.

12.Dress Conservatively: Dressing modestly will help you connect more easily with local people and show respect for their customs.

13.Promote Cultural Pride: Encourage pride in the local culture. Avoid any suggestion that Western culture is inherently superior.

14.Avoid Encouraging Begging: Do not give money or gifts to begging children. This creates a cycle of dependency. There are better ways to provide meaningful help.

Tanzania is our top recommendation due to its large national parks, high wildlife concentrations, and diverse landscapes. It offers unique experiences like the Great Migration. Kenya also provides excellent safari opportunities with its distinct landscapes and abundant wildlife.

The most popular parks on the Northern Tanzania circuit include Serengeti (Great Migration), Tarangire (large elephant herds), Ngorongoro Crater (ancient landscapes), and Lake Manyara (tree-climbing lions).

Always be aware of your surroundings, avoid making loud noises or sudden movements, and never walk outside alone at night. Wear closed shoes, long pants, and use bug repellent. Keep food out of your rooms to avoid attracting animals.

Respect animals by remaining quiet, moving gently, and keeping your distance. Avoid loud noises, sudden movements, and getting too close, as this can agitate wildlife.

Safari guides are your drivers, teachers, and translators. They ensure you have a complete and safe safari experience, educating you on everything you encounter.

East Africa is a developing region with less advanced infrastructure. Expect bumpy roads and occasional delays. We ask for your patience and assure you that we will do our best to make your trip as smooth as possible.

Safety concerns generally fall into three categories: wildlife, robbery, and terrorism. Wildlife encounters are rare and usually avoidable by following guidelines. Robbery is uncommon in safari areas, but take precautions in urban settings. Terrorism is a low risk, especially in the remote areas we visit. Statistically, you’re more likely to encounter dangers in a developed country’s city center than on safari.

Health insurance is not included in tour quotes. However, for an additional of US$20-70pp depending on age and duration of their trip, we can assist you to take out membership for the First Air Responder(FAR), which provides aero-medical evacuation services for up to 2000km from Nairobi Wilson Airport and for up to eight weeks in duration (depending on your itinerary with MW). Please ‘click here’ for more details. This membership allows for air rescue transportation to medical facilities in the event of an emergency. THIS DOES NOT REPLACE PERSONAL TRAVEL INSURANCE IN ANYWAY.

Most accommodations in malaria zones provide mosquito nets and routine insect repellent sprays in rooms. We recommend taking anti-malaria tablets and using insect repellent. Be aware that some anti-malaria medications can have side effects, so consult your doctor for the best option.

For current immunization recommendations and requirements for travel to Tanzania, please check the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) site.

East Africa is generally safe, but it’s important to stay vigilant, whether in towns or on safari. If you ever feel unsafe, immediately inform your guide or tour leader, who will assist in resolving the situation.

We do offer deposit payments via Paypal, using credit cards online. We just need an email address to send an online invoice to, and you would receive a link to follow to make the payment. We can also accept some balance payments via credit cards – but Paypal will charge a service fee of 3.4% for that. However, we recommend bank transfers directly to our account for payments so that all treks and safaris are paid for six weeks advance as per booking terms. This reduces any risk you may have by travelling large amounts of cash.

Yes, we can arrange flights and hotels for Zanzibar. We can also arrange airport transfers directly with most hotels. We have a great selection for you and liaise directly with the owners who will look after you like we do!

Please read ourTerms and Conditions page for details on our cancellation policy.

Our prices reflect the quality and ethical practices of our operations. While you may find cheaper options, they often involve compromises such as underpaid staff, “avoidance” of park fees, and lower quality guides. We pay our staff fairly, use local suppliers, and invest in community projects. This ensures a high-quality, responsible safari experience with no hidden costs or unpleasant surprises.

You can withdraw Tanzanian shillings using a Visa/MasterCard in Arusha, Moshi, Karatu, Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam. Most restaurants/hotels do not accept credit cards, and the ones that do usually charge a commission of at least 3-5%. Please call your credit card company before you leave for Tanzania to notify them of your travel plans. Some companies will put a block on your card if you try to use it at a Tanzanian ATM. There is a withdrawal limit of 400,000/- per transaction (approx US$280) at ATMs but you can withdraw several times according to your personal limit with your own bank. Plan ahead if you have something in particular that you need to pay for.

We recommend changing some money to shillings to pay for small items during your trip. Local stores and restaurants charge in shillings, and if you pay in dollars you will pay a higher rate. At souvenir stores in Arusha. US$100 and US$50 dollar noted attract a better exchange rate than US$20, US$10, US$5 and US$1 – however these smaller notes are handy sometimes for buying souvenirs enroute during safari.

We do not recommend bringing travelers cheques to Tanzania as banks require you to have the receipt of purchase as well as the cheque. We recommend bringing USD cash and using an ATM machine to withdraw shillings.

Tipping is appreciated but not required. It’s a great way to acknowledge excellent service. We recommend $10-$20 per client per day, but this is entirely at your discretion. For a family of four on a seven-day safari, tips could range from $280-$560 total.

NO, not at all and Tanzania is very strict on this. Please travel with notes dated 2005 or newer if you want to use them anywhere in Tanzania. Prior to that year, Africa was hit with an epidemic of counterfeiting and people are extremely weary to accept older notes, and banks simply will not accept them at all.

MW matches the type of experience you desire with the most appropriate lodge arrangements. Available lodging ranges from private luxury tented lodges to adventure camping. There are both mid and high-end private lodges so we can accommodate any budget.

On a camping safari, guests and staff sleep in private tents in designated campsites in or near the national parks. Maasai Wanderings staff setup the camp and prepare all meals while you relax, read and eat snacks. MW camps consist of tents set up around tables and chairs. Whenever possible, Maasai Wanderings uses more remote campsites to make your camping experience more private.

Emergency evacuation procedures are typically explained during your accommodation briefing. If you need further information, don’t hesitate to ask your guide or tour leader for clarification.

Many safari lodges offer laundry services with a 24-hour turnaround. However, water is scarce in rural areas, so we ask that you only send essential items for cleaning. Note that, for cultural reasons, personal underwear is not included in laundry services and should be washed by yourself.

We only offer random nights of basic camping or when trekking in the Ngorongoro crater highlands. There are very limited toilet and shower facilities in these areas, so be prepared. Maasai Wanderings provides camping equipment including tents, sleeping mattresses, tables and chairs. We also provide all cooking equipment for the safari. Please see our Personal Equipment Guide for items you should bring with you to Tanzania. All of Maasai Wanderings’s equipment is less than two years old and has been highly rated by many of our past clients.

Safari lodges typically serve a mix of local and traditional dishes, with lunch including a main course and dessert, and dinner also offering a starter. The cuisine usually features rice, stewed meats, and soups, though it varies by location. East Africa is not a “foodie” destination but offers fresh produce and can accommodate dietary needs such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free.

Of course; just let us know in advance so we can make necessary arrangements.

We provide 2 x 1L bottled water per person per day on safari, and unlimited drinking water on Kilimanjaro/Meru.

Staple foods found throughout Tanzania include ugali (maizemeal), chapati (thick naan-like bread), kachumbari (tomato, cucumber, bell pepper salad), nyama choma (barbecued meat- goat, chicken, beef) and mchicha (green vegetable stew). Dishes specific to Northern Tanzania include ndizi nyama (banana beef stew) and mahindi maharage (maize and bean stew). If you would like to try Tanzanian food, let us know prior to your climb or camping safari and we’ll include some local dishes on your menu.

Be sure to wash your hands often with soap and avoid eating raw vegetables and fruits. Before meals, wash and dry your hands before touching your food. Do not eat food sold by street vendors. Wipe the mouth of soda and alcohol bottles before drinking and ensure that water bottles are sealed properly before purchasing. Also, eat fruit that can be peeled, such as bananas, unless it is fruit prepared by Maasai Wanderings. If you unsure of any food, ask our cooks and guides.

Maasai Wanderings uses 4WD Land Cruisers, Land Rovers and 4WD Hiaces on all safaris and all vehicles are owned and maintained by us. We have made our vehicles safari ready by including comfortable seats and an open roof that allows for better animal viewing. Each passenger is guaranteed a window seat.

Although the roads between cities and the national parks are generally well-maintained, the roads inside the national parks are rough and dusty, and hence, often muddy. During game drives, we drive slowly for a more comfortable drive.During the dry season you will get very dusty, so bring some moist cleansing cloths to clean up before meal times. The road from Arusha to Ngorongoro is now tarmac so the driving time to the park is approximately one and a half.

If you’re on a photography safari, professional guides will assist you in getting the best shots. For amateur photographers, ensure you have all necessary equipment, including cables, batteries, and a lens cloth. A sandbag is useful for stabilizing your camera in a moving vehicle. Avoid touching your lens after using insect repellent, as it can damage the glass.

MW’s cars are outfitted with inverters that allow you to charge your camera batteries or laptop right in the car.

You can find AAA-D batteries in Arusha including Energizer and Duracell brands in an emergency but batteries are probably cheaper in your home country, so you may want to bring them with you. It is difficult to find high quality batteries outside major cities.

1. Small sand bag on which to rest your camera. The safari vehicles shake quite a bit and sometimes you may miss a great shot if you wait for the car to be turned off.
2. Lightweight tripod or monopod.
3. Small can of compressed air to clean the camera. Be sure to clean your camera every night as it is usually very dusty while on safari.

Most lodges have outlets so you will be able to recharge batteries. However, because the lodges are run on generators, the electrical current is not as strong as traditional electrical currents. Some lodges turn off their generators at midnight. Keep in mind Tanzania uses 240v electricity and you will need to bring necessary converters and plug adaptors. Try to take as few electrical powered tools as possible.

Try to take as few electrical powered tools as possible.

It really depends on the passion you have for photography. As a general guideline, plan on shooting three to four rolls with 24 exposures per day; this is adequate for most people. Remember also that animals often move just when you want to shoot and don’t pose for you so you may waste some pictures.

Much of the time you will be in bright sunlight so ISO100 speed will give you the best quality. However, some of the best times to see animals is in the late afternoon or early morning and the light may be low. In this case, ISO 200 or ISO 400 would be better.

This will depend on the type of photography you do. If you are interested in vegetation, you may want a macro lens. For animals, because you will be photographing from a distance, you will definitely want a long lens, at minimum 300 mm and up to 500 mm if possible. A zoom lens will provide you with the best flexibility.

You will have many opportunities to purchase souvenirs in Arusha and while on safari. The souvenir market with the best prices is located in the center of Arusha town approximately 500 meters southwest of the central post office/clock tower on Sinoni Road. You will have to bargain at this market;you should pay about 50% of the asking price. There will also be many opportunities to purchase souvenirs while on safari. Most hotels have souvenir shops, and there are a couple of large souvenir shops along the way: Oldonyo Orok and Cultural Heritage (expensive). If you are interested in buying Tanzanite, please let us know so we can deliver you to certified gemologists who mine and wholesale Tanzanite (among other precious stones) – this will ensure good value and good quality. You will also be issued with a certificate.

During your safari, you’ll be accompanied by a trained wildlife guide. All of our guides have at least five years of experience on safari and have taken several language and wildlife courses. If you choose an adventure camping safari, youll also travel with a MW chef, who will prepare all of your delicious meals while in the bush. As with any MW-arranged trip, we will only combine tourist groups at the clients request. You can expect a private vehicle with your very own Maasai Wanderings wildlife guide.

The Big Five were originally the animals most sought after by hunters. They were the fiercest animals, the animals that hunted the hunters. They include rhino, elephant, lion, leopard and cape buffalo and today are the animals that tourists most want to see when visiting Tanzania’s national parks. You can see all five of these animals during a visit to Northern Tanzania.

East Africa is home to unique bird species like the Kikuyu White-eye and the Bare-faced Go-away-bird. Among larger mammals, the Maasai giraffe and Thompson’s gazelle are notable.

The main risks come from smaller animals like snakes, spiders, and ticks, which are more scared of you than you are of them. Wear closed shoes and long pants, and check yourself for ticks regularly. Larger animals are less likely to pose a danger, but always be cautious, especially at night. Do not feed animals, and avoid bringing food into your rooms or tents.

The wildebeest migration is the annual movement of approx 1.2 million wildebeest and 600,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomason gazelle from Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park to Kenya’s Masai Mara. The migration offers excellent opportunities to view animal behavior, especially the predators! Although the migration is usually in the Serengeti from December through June and then again from August again, the rains in recent years have kept the wildebeest in the Serengeti longer than normal and the exact migratory paths and times are never an exact science.

The wildebeest migration is usually in the Serengeti from December through September. During the dry months of December, January and February, it is common to see the migration as a mass of several hundred thousand animals. During the long rains in March, April and May, the migration often splits up into several sub-groups and roams in different areas of the Serengeti following the fresh grasses. The migration remains in these smaller groups throughout much of the remaining season until it returns to the Kenya in October. Having said that – the global seasons are consistently changing, so contact us in advance to find out the latest updates.

A bush walk is a nature walk or walking safari inside or near a national park. We can tailor a bush walk to your interests. If you are a bird lover, we’ll take you on a bird walk. If you want to be near big game on foot, we’ll arrange a bush walk in a national park. (These walks require an armed guard.) If you’re interested in Tanzanian culture, we’ll arrange a cultural tour. A bush walk can be a leisurely stroll or strenuous hike and ranges in length from thirty minutes to six hours.

Women form the majority of our office staff, though you may not see as many women in field roles due to cultural preferences in East Africa. However, this is changing, and we are seeing increased interest from women in becoming guides and safari staff.
