Good to know

Best Times for Wildlife Photography

Early morning (6:30-9:00 AM) and late afternoon (4:00-6:30 PM) offer the best golden light and most active wildlife. Mid-day is ideal for lodge rest, swimming, or enjoying the view. Bring a lens with at least 200-400mm zoom for ideal wildlife shots.

What to Wear on Safari

Pack neutral colours (khaki, beige, olive green) — avoid bright colours and white which attract dust. Layering is key: early mornings are cool (15°C/59°F), afternoons warm (30°C/86°F). Closed comfortable shoes, wide-brim hat, and sunglasses are essential.

Best Time of Year to Go

June to October (dry season) offers the best wildlife viewing with animals gathering around water sources. January-February is ideal for calving season in the Serengeti. March-May (long rains) and November-December (short rains) offer lower rates and fewer crowds but occasional rain.

How to Spot Wildlife Like a Pro

Watch for vultures circling (indicates a kill or carcass), listen for alarm calls from zebras and baboons, and look for other safari vehicles stopped — they've often found something interesting. Your guide's radio network with other drivers is your best asset.

Safari Health & Safety Tips

Stay hydrated (drink 2-3 litres of bottled water daily), apply reef-safe sunscreen SPF 50+, and use insect repellent with DEET for morning/evening game drives. Always follow your guide's instructions — never stand up or exit the vehicle without permission.

Money & Tipping Guide

Carry USD cash for tips (recommended: $20-30/pp/day for guide, $10-15/pp/day for lodge staff). Most lodges accept credit cards but park gates and local shops prefer cash. ATMs are available in Arusha but limited on safari. Tipping is appreciated and expected.
