Besides airfare and safari costs, we highly recommend that you set a budget for your visa, gratuities, medications and other miscellaneous per personal preferences. As for your accommodation, you should prepare yourself to spend from $50 for low range accommodations to $1,000 a night in the most luxurious hotels.

If you feel that the quality of service rendered to you is meritorious-worthy of experience, then it is customary to express your gratitude by tipping those who have served or guided you.

Many visitors to Tanzania who are visiting for the first time are often-time struggling with anxiety. This is especially when they are uncertain of the requirements and important documents they’ll have to present upon admission to Tanzania. If you are also dealing with the same issues, we’ve got you covered for your convenience.
Here are the must-have personal documents for your trip to Tanzania:
- Passport
- Tanzania Visa
- Travel Insurance
- Vaccines and medications
- Travel / flight itinerary
Passport
The most crucial criterion for entering Tanzania is that your passport be valid for at least six months after the day it was issued or on which you intend to enter, and must have at least one blank visa page. Moreover, travelers entering Tanzania on visas must show an itinerary for their return trip to immigration officials as well as proof of sufficient finances for their stay during airport security checks. While entering or leaving Zanzibar or when touring the mainland, be ready to present your passport and explain the status of your visa.
Note: If your passport expires within the next six months, you might want to think about renewing it before applying for an e-visa to Tanzania because your passport number might change and invalidate your Tanzania visa.
Tanzania Visa
The majority of visitors from abroad require a visa to enter Tanzania. Tourists can now apply for an Electronic Visa to enter Tanzania, unlike the prior visa application methods. Do not let the thought of obtaining a visa dissuade you; it is a relatively straightforward, step-by-step process that almost anybody from any country in the world can apply for a visa with ease.
A Tanzanian tourist visa costs $50 USD for most visitors and $100 USD for Americans citizens. Persons from certain countries (including several bordering African countries) are permitted to enter Tanzania without a visa.
According to the Tanzania Immigration Authority, having a Visa does not guarantee entry into the United Republic of Tanzania. If the immigration officer at the entrance point determines that the visa holder is unable to comply with immigration entry requirements or that their presence would be detrimental to the national interests of the United Republic of Tanzania, they may deny them entry.

So why should you go on a Tanzania Day Trip?
Tanzania is such a big world within the confines of a single country. More than a quarter of its land area is dedicated to national parks and game reserves, making it the world’s most diverse wildlife destination. From incredible game reserves teeming with legions of wildlife to glorious beaches, luxurious accommodation and incredible cultures and food, there truly is something to suit every kind of safari enthusiast coming to Tanzania. With our specialized day trips, which certainly cannot fail to impress, you are sure to have a life changing experience.
Best Wildlife Adventures
Tanzania has the best game reserves, teemed with countless wildlife, scenic vistas that span beyond vision and stretch to distant mountains. Safaris are exhilarating with a raft of stimuli and you will be amazed at how familiar you get with your surroundings.
Jaw-drop paradise-like beaches
Tanzania boasts some of the world-class beaches that are lapped by the turquoise azure waters of the Indian Ocean. You can choose to relax on soft white sands beneath swaying palm trees or go swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, or fishing.
Best Bird-Watching safaris
Keep your binoculars glued to your face! You are in one of the world’s top bird-watching destinations. In a variety of habitats, you can easily and comfortably observe hundreds of different species.
Multi-cultural country
Tanzania has distinct cultures and people almost everywhere you go, from the world’s most famous traditional, bead-bedecked pastoralist Maasai in the country’s northern tourist circuit to the exotic heady mix of Arab and African influences in the Zanzibar Islands, Tanzania is a must-visit country.
Tanzania can be visited at any time of the year but some months are just better than others. There are two rainy seasons; however, due to the impact of global warming, these rains are no longer consistent and overwhelming compared to when they once were. The short rainy season lasts from October to December, and the long rainy season lasts from late February through early May. The two rainy seasons represent the low season, while the dry seasons of the year represent the high or peak season for tourist activities.
Travelling to Tanzania during the rainy season has both advantages and disadvantages. However, while this is solely dependent on what destination you choose to visit, the major disadvantage of the low season is that the majority of the roads in remote places are impassable and the wildlife can be hard to locate. Some places can sometimes get chilly-cold during early morning and nighttime, but the daytime is relatively dry and sunny. Conversely, travelling to Tanzania during the rainy (low) season can provide you with the opportunity to take advantage of inexpensive flights, which in most cases you will typically have to work for them since you will need to fly-in through a connecting flight. This is also the best time for honeymooners and anti-social individuals who prefer being among fewer crowds.
