Tanzania Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I book my safari with AllWays Adventure Safaris?

Our team works closely with every client to create a safari that matches their interests, preferences, and budget. We also provide professional support before and during the trip.
What is the best time to visit Tanzania for a safari?
Tanzania is a year-round safari destination. The dry season from June to October is often preferred for wildlife viewing because animals gather around rivers and waterholes. The green season from November to May offers lush scenery, fewer visitors in many parks, excellent birdwatching, and the chance to witness the calving season in parts of the Serengeti.
Can I combine a safari in Tanzania with a beach holiday in Zanzibar?
Yes. Many travellers choose to spend several days on safari before flying to Zanzibar for relaxation by the Indian Ocean. This combination allows you to experience wildlife, history, and beaches within a single trip.
Is Tanzania a good destination for a family safari?
Absolutely! Tanzania offers family friendly safari experiences with lodges and camps that welcome children. Some properties provide family rooms and activities tailored to younger travellers. We can recommend suitable parks, accommodations, and travel schedules based on the ages of the children in your group.
Is Tanzania suitable for a honeymoon safari?
Tanzania is one of Africa’s most popular honeymoon destinations. Many couples combine wildlife viewing on the mainland with a few days in Zanzibar. Private safari arrangements and carefully selected accommodations can provide a memorable honeymoon safari.
How many people can travel together on a safari?
We organize safaris for solo travellers, couples, families, small groups, and larger private groups. The number of participants can be adjusted according to your travel plans, accommodation preferences, and other requirements.
Is Tanzania safe for tourists?
Tanzania is widely regarded as one of the safest destinations in Africa for tourism. As with any international destination, visitors should follow common travel precautions, keep valuables secure, and listen to the advice of guides and accommodation staff during their stay.
What wildlife can I expect to see during a safari?
Wildlife sightings vary by season and location, but many travellers hope to see lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, and numerous bird species. No safari can guarantee specific sightings, though Tanzania offers some of the finest wildlife viewing opportunities on the continent.
How far in advance should I book my safari?
Booking several months in advance is recommended, particularly if you plan to travel during peak seasons or wish to stay at specific lodges and camps. Early booking generally provides more accommodation options and greater flexibility when planning your itinerary.
What is your cancellation policy?
Our cancellation policy varies depending on the services booked and the timing of the cancellation. Full details can be found in our Terms and Conditions, where we have outlined our cancellation procedures, applicable fees, and refund policies.
I cannot find the destination I want to visit on your website. Can you still arrange it?

We can organize safaris, cultural experiences, beach holidays, mountain trekking, and special interest trips in any safari circuit of Tanzania.
