visa requirements
A visa is required for Tanzania, and can be obtained prior to travel (approx US$50), or upon arrival. If combining your stay with a Kenya extension, you will require a Kenyan visa approx US$50 .

best time to visit
Tanzania offers excellent game viewing all year round. The great migration takes place from Apr-Jun and Oct-Dec.
• In the green season (Apr-Jun and late Nov-Dec) there are low numbers of tourists, thus more exclusive, and the rains do not hinder game viewing.
• The dry seasons are generally better for game viewing when the game concentrates around the water sources.
• Bird watching is excellent year round, but the south is best at the height of the northern winter.
