Travel Advice
From international arrivals to remote bush flights, this guide covers everything you need to know to navigate Tanzania smoothly and safely.
Your Tanzanian adventure begins with your flight. Most international travelers arrive at one of three main airports, depending on their itinerary. We recommend booking flights well in advance, especially during peak season.
The primary gateway for the Northern Circuit (Serengeti, Ngorongoro) and Kilimanjaro treks. Located near Arusha.
The main hub for the Southern Circuit (Ruaha, Nyerere) and connections to the western parks and Mafia Island.
Ideal if your trip starts or ends with a beach holiday on the Spice Islands. Well-connected to major hubs.
Most nationalities require a visa to enter Tanzania. You can obtain an e-visa online before you travel (recommended to save time) or get a visa on arrival at the airport. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of entry.
The classic way to experience Tanzania. We handle all the driving in our custom-outfitted 4x4 Land Cruisers, allowing you to relax and focus on the scenery and wildlife. Our professional guides are expert navigators and mechanics, ensuring a safe and seamless journey through rugged terrain.
To maximize your time and access remote parks like Katavi or Mahale, domestic flights are an excellent option. Small bush planes connect major hubs to airstrips across the country, offering spectacular aerial views of the landscapes below. This is the best choice for itineraries covering long distances.
