Best Time For Tanzania Family Safari
Tanzania Safari Tours is a year-round activity. You can come at any given time of the year and still enjoy the Tanzania Safari. But the ideal time depends mainly on the choice of your Tanzania Safari Activities.
Overall the dry seasons from June to October are the best time for Tanzania family safari. During the warm season, the grass is short, visibility is good, and the weather is usually dry. And it is the perfect time to see the great wildebeest migration as well.
Is a Tanzania family safari safe for children?
Seeing lion, rhino, or hippo up-close sounds exciting at first, but as a parent, you can’t stop yourself from wondering whether it is really safe to be quite so close to such wild animals.
We assure you, it is. All Tanzania Accommodations including tented camps and lodges follow strict safety controls and guidelines. We’ve regular patrols by trained safari staff.
Safety is of utmost importance. The rule says all the guests must keep on the camp paths and cannot walk around unescorted after dark. Everybody must abide by the guidelines. Your Tanzania Safari Guide will explain them to you when you reach the camps.
During game drives, it is imperative that the children don’t get out of the vehicle at any point. If you need to pee then also wait till the driver finds a safe place to pull over.
If you go by the guidelines and follow the instructions of your Tanzania Safari Guide, there’s no reason your Tanzania Family Safari won’t be safe.
