Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit Tanzania?
Tanzania is a year round destination, but the best time depends on what you want to experience
June to October (Dry Season)
This is the most popular time to visit. Wildlife is easier to spot as animals gather around water sources, and the weather is sunny and pleasant. It’s also the best period to witness the great migration in National Parks.
=> For classic safaris and dry, sunny weather, come to visit from June to October.
November to May (Green Season)
The landscape is lush and green, with fewer tourists and lower lodge rates. Birdwatching is at its best. The weather can be variable and some roads may be muddy, but rain never last very long and not every day. You will still be able to enjoy fully your holidays, get great wildlife sightings and a more intimate safari experience.
=> For fewer crowds, greener scenery, and unique wildlife events, come to visit from November to May.
Do I need to be physically fit to join the hunting experience with the Hadzabe?
The Hadzabe hunting walk involves light trekking through bushland. A moderate level of fitness is recommended, but the activity is adapted to visitors and you can always walk at your own pace.
Can I take photos of the tribes?
Yes, photography and video are usually allowed, but always ask for permission first out of respect for the Hadzabe and Datoga. Your guide will help you ensure respectful interactions.
What should I bring for the tour?
We recommend:
– Comfortable walking shoes
– A hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses
– A light jacket for early mornings
– Camera (with extra battery/memory card)
Is it safe to travel to Tanzania and visit the tribes?
Yes. Tanzania is a safe and welcoming destination for travelers. The country offers a hospitable environment, especially in tourist areas like Arusha, and you can explore its beautiful landscapes and wildlife with confidence. Local people are friendly, and safety measures, such as keeping an eye on your belongings, are always advisable, just as you would in any other part of the world. Tanzania’s natural beauty and the warmth of its people make it a fantastic place to visit.
Yes, Tanzania is considered a safe destination for travelers. Millions of visitors come each year to enjoy safaris, cultural experiences, and beach holidays without any issues.
As with any international trip, it’s important to follow basic safety guidelines:
-Travel with local guides
– Keep your valuables secure and avoid displaying large amounts of cash.
– Respect local customs and traditions.
– In cities and towns, take the same precautions you would anywhere else such as being cautious at night and using trusted taxis.
In safari areas and tribal villages, visits are organized and guided, ensuring safe and respectful encounters with wildlife and local communities. All our tours are led by experienced local guides who have long-standing relationships with the Hadzabe and Datoga. Encounters are safe, authentic, and respectful.
With good planning and common sense, Tanzania is not only safe but also one of the most welcoming countries in East Africa.
Are these experiences suitable for children?
Yes, families are welcome. Children often find the activities such as hunting demonstrations, fire-making, or watching blacksmiths at work very engaging. However, some walking may be tiring for very young children. Our team will advize you on what type of tour is the best approriate to you and your family.
