Tanzania Safaris FAQs : These are some of the frequently asked Questions about Tanzania Safaris answered by Focus East Africa Tours
Tanzania Fly-in Safaris vs 4×4 Safari Tours
Tanzania’s parks are best visited by plane into your various destinations, for the most part. Due to their relative inaccessibility otherwise, the Selous and Ruaha in southern Tanzania are exclusively fly-in destinations. We prefer to suggest a half-drive, half-fly-in safari for Northern Tanzania because it offers a more varied experience. In addition, driving can frequently be less expensive in the Ngorongoro Crater than flying from Kilimanjaro airport following your international flight. You wouldn’t have to worry about getting stuck on the ground while on safari because your guide would take you from stop to stop.

Where to fly into for a Tanzania Safari?
Tanzania has two primary international airports: Dar es Salaam (DAR) and Mount Kilimanjaro (JRO). The majority of flights are not direct, and the best ones, if they originate in the US or the UK, only require one connection.
African Safaris: Tanzania or South Africa Safari?
Tanzania has opted for a low-volume, high-quality approach to safari tourism, prioritising first-rate lodging, food, and guides over large numbers of visitors. In comparison to other nations that have adopted a more mass-market strategy, like South Africa, this results in a far better, more intimate, and exclusive safari experience. The other reserves that employ a higher standard of care are absurdly costly, and the Kruger can get very busy. For the same price, Tanzania offers a very high-quality safari that is just not available in South Africa.
Where in Tanzania are the best places to go on a luxurious safari vacation, if I may venture to ask?
The Serengeti – Known for being one of Africa’s most famous safari parks, it offers extremely luxurious lodges in addition to the world’s most spectacular natural event, the Great Wildebeest Migration. The flat, acacia-dotted plains of the Serengeti are the best place in Tanzania to experience unmatched safari action. Ruaha: A true, wild African bush, Ruaha is ideal for a true safari enthusiast seeking amazing and diverse wildlife without the disruption of the occasionally chaotic northern tourism. Some of the best lodges on the continent for an opulent yet authentic safari can be found in Ruaha. Ngorongoro-The Ngorongoro Crater itself is a magnificent sight, and it is regarded as the eighth wonder of the world. Consider a huge concentrations of wildlife contained within the crater’s striking cliff edge walls, and it becomes clear why the area is known as the “cradle of mankind.”
