Popular questions about African safari tours

Can I take children on the African safari?

African safaris are increasingly popular among families, accounting for over 45% of visitors. While some lodges set an age limit of 5, children aged four and up often find the experience enthralling. While kids can marvel at natural wonders like the Ngorongoro Crater or Victoria Falls, it’s the diverse wildlife that truly captivates and excites them the most. We recommend preparing children beforehand to make the trip even more interesting for them. African-themed books, games, or activities are fantastic for that. Going on a Tanzanian safari with children is an exciting and safe experience for the whole family. Still, parents should remain vigilant when venturing into the wild expanses of this beautiful country and not let kids wander off.

When is the best time to go for an African safari in Tanzania?

The ideal time for a Tanzanian safari depends on personal preferences. Opting for a rainy season safari, from November to late December and from mid-March to May, can be cost-effective due to seasonal hotel discounts. There are also much fewer other travelers in the parks. However, be prepared for potential all-day rains.

The other months, spanning from January to mid-March and June to October, generally promise excellent, sunny weather, though there can be exceptions. These dry season periods attract the most tourists. The festive season around Christmas is often the easiest. Safari prices are higher during these times.

We believe the optimal time for a safari is at the cusp of these peak season times. In late October, early March, and early June. These transitional periods offer a sweet spot where the rains are either yet to start or just ending, and the tourist influx is still minimal, providing a balanced experience of good weather and relative tranquillity.

Where to go for an African safari?

Tanzania stands out as the best safari destination in Africa. In 2023, the country won the prestigious World’s Leading Safari Destination title. Its stunningly beautiful national parks and developed infrastructure make Tanzania the ideal choice for memorable and safe African safari tours.

Another famous destination in East Africa is Kenya, famous for its Maasai Mara National Reserve and Amboseli National Park. Botswana with its Chobe National Park, South Africa with numerous wildlife reserves near Cape Town and Kruger National Park, and picturesque Namibia represent famous destinations in southern Africa.

Zambia and Zimbabwe boast the majestic Victoria Falls. The latter is famous for Matobo National Park and Hwange National Park. Uganda and Rwanda captivate with their renowned adventures in East-Central Africa that include observing mountain gorillas and other wild animals.

Can I combine a Kilimanjaro climb with a wildlife safari?

Combining a Kilimanjaro climb with a wildlife safari is seamless and convenient. Landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport places you just 50 km away from the base of Mount Kilimanjaro. Additionally, the popular northern safari parks are within a comfortable driving distance from the airport. For those with limited time, there are shorter 2-3 day safari options that offer a captivating glimpse into Tanzania’s magnificent wildlife. Plus, bush flights are available for even swifter transitions.

Where are the best beach vacation destinations in East Africa?

East Africa boasts exquisite beach destinations, such as Quirimbas in Mozambique, Kenya’s Diani and Lamu, and Anse Source D’Argent in the Seychelles. Zanzibar in Tanzania remains a sought-after spot. For a quieter retreat, Tanzania’s Mnemba, Mafia, and Pemba islands offer unparalleled diving amidst untouched coral reefs.

Popular questions about Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

What is the best time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro?

The best times to climb Mount Kilimanjaro are during the dry seasons, which span from January to mid-March and from June to October. These periods typically offer the most favorable weather conditions, with clearer skies and less rain, providing a better hiking experience and increased visibility for enjoying the stunning landscapes.

Do I need any technical climbing skills to summit Kilimanjaro?

No technical climbing skills are required to summit Kilimanjaro. The mountain is considered a trekking peak, meaning the ascent involves hiking rather than technical mountaineering. However, it is essential to have a good level of physical fitness and stamina to handle the long days of trekking and the altitude. Our experienced guides will provide support and guidance throughout the journey.

How difficult is it to climb Mount Kilimanjaro?

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a challenging endeavor primarily due to the high altitude and the physical demands of the trek. The difficulty varies depending on the route chosen and individual fitness levels. Proper acclimatization, physical preparation, and mental determination are crucial for success. Many climbers find the experience rewarding and achievable with the right preparation and support.

What should I pack for the climb?

Packing the right gear is essential for a successful and comfortable climb. Key items include sturdy hiking boots, warm clothing (layers are recommended), a waterproof jacket and pants, a high-quality sleeping bag rated for low temperatures, a daypack for carrying essentials, trekking poles, and personal items such as sunscreen, a hat, and gloves. A detailed packing list will be provided by your tour operator to ensure you are well-prepared for the journey.

  •  

How many days does the climb take?

The duration of the climb depends on the route you choose, ranging from 5 to 9 days. Shorter routes, such as the Marangu and Umbwe routes, can be completed in 5 to 6 days but offer less time for acclimatization. Longer routes, like the Machame, Lemosho, and Northern Circuit, take 7 to 9 days and provide better opportunities for acclimatization, increasing your chances of reaching the summit and enjoying the trek.

Is altitude sickness a concern, and how can it be managed?

Altitude sickness is a potential concern when climbing Kilimanjaro, as the summit stands at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). Symptoms can include headaches, nausea, and dizziness. To manage altitude sickness, it is essential to choose a longer route for better acclimatization, ascend slowly and steadily, stay well-hydrated, and listen to your body. Our guides are trained to recognize symptoms of altitude sickness and will monitor your health closely, providing support and advice to ensure your safety.
