Questions travellers ask
When is the best time to visit Tanzania for a safari?
Tanzania's wildlife is abundant year-round, but the timing of your visit can influence your safari experience. The dry season from June to October offers better game viewing, as animals gather around water sources. However, the wet season from November to May brings lush green landscapes and newborn wildlife. Both seasons have their unique charm, so choose based on your preferences and interests.
Which national parks should I include in my Tanzania safari itinerary?
Tanzania boasts an array of spectacular national parks, each with its own distinct offerings. The Serengeti National Park, renowned for the Great Wildebeest Migration, is a must-visit. Other favorites include the Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and the Selous Game Reserve. Each park presents a different landscape and wildlife population, ensuring a diverse and unforgettable safari experience.
How long should my Tanzania safari be?
The duration of your safari depends on various factors, such as your budget, availability, and personal preferences. To fully immerse yourself in Tanzania's natural wonders, we recommend a minimum of 5-7 days. This allows you to explore multiple parks, observe different wildlife behaviors, and soak in the beauty of the African wilderness.
What types of accommodations are available during a Tanzania safari?
Tanzania offers a range of accommodation options to suit different budgets and preferences. From luxurious lodges and tented camps to budget-friendly campsites, there's something for everyone. These accommodations are strategically located within or near national parks, allowing you to maximize your safari experience.

What travellers say
6 days private Serengeti Safari
Sunset african safari is an absolutely recommendable tour operator. We had booked 6 unforgettable days in the Serengeti as a private tour. our guide Patrick is an excellent driver and knows a lot about the Serengeti and its animals. We felt absolutely safe in every situation. Our accommodation was in a mobile camp. The service of the staff, the food and the friendliness is unforgettable. These camps are equipped with everything you need. In our eyes, this is already luxury in the great outdoors. During our game drives we were so overwhelmed by all the animal sightings that this can hardly be put into words. All our respect to all the staff of Sunset African Safari. If possible we will come again

Superb experience!
Sunset Africa Safaris is definitely a reliable and experienced tour operator! Thanks to our guide Omaru, our 4 days 3 nights small group tour(3 pax) in the Safari was surely above our expectations, and he knows where to to find the animals. While we were in the Safari, the only thing we need to do was to enjoy the breath taking views and the closeness to the wild aninimals; everything else (Transportation, lodging, food...) was taken care by our experienced and knowledgeable guide.
My advice for doing a Safari tour:
1. Small group is better as you can move freely in the car to see the animals on both sides.
2.Plan your trip in advance and prepare the fund in advance in cash or bank transfer, generally credit card doesn't work well in Tanzania as there is 5% charge on the consumer side.
3.Bring warm clothes, SLR camera, binoculars with you.
4.Serengeti and Ngorongoro are must visit attractions.
At last, a very special thanks to Godfrey (Owner of the firm) for solving my duplicate fund transfers problem in 2 business days in parallel!
Family holiday
Myself and my family (daughter 14 & Son 9) had a fabulous time in Tanzania visiting family, but one the best experiences we had was going on Safari with Godfrey and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, they were very professional but also friendly and good with the kids. 10/10
