Top Parks in Tanzania

Bring snacks! I forgot my lunch on the first day, and we had to waste time looking for a spot to eat. Packing a picnic really makes a difference.

Make sure to carry snacks and plenty of water. The park can be huge and finding a good spot for a picnic can save you time and energy during your safari.

Don't skip the night drives! They were the highlight of my trip. Spotting nocturnal animals was an experience I won't forget. It's worth the extra cost!

Bring cash. Many of the local crafts and shops don’t accept cards, and you might miss out on some amazing souvenirs if you're not prepared.

I suggest packing your own lunch and snacks before heading in... The park's food options are limited and kinda pricey... I wish I'd brought a picnic instead of splurging on an average meal inside

I suggest you book a snorkelling trip through local operators instead of hotel tours, it's often cheaper and you'll get a more personal experience. Plus, the guides are super knowledgeable and really friendly.

I think bringing some snacks and water is a smart move because the on-site café is a bit pricey and can have limited options. Trust me, you don’t want to be caught hungry while exploring!

Wear good hiking shoes! Some trails can get a bit tricky and muddy. I slipped a few times because I didn't think it would be that challenging.

I recommend visiting in the dry season, which is from June to October. You get clearer skies for the amazing views, plus fewer bugs! I went in December and totally regretted it.
