Mid-range, luxury or ultra: what changes on a Tanzania safari?

On a Tanzania safari, the comfort level changes where you sleep and how the days are arranged, not where you go. Mid-range trips use comfortable lodges and tented camps, often just outside the parks. Luxury trips use premium camps, more often inside the parks or on the crater rim. Ultra trips use the smallest, most exclusive camps, often reached by light aircraft. The parks, the park rules and the wildlife are the same at every level.

When is the best time to visit Tanzania for a safari?

For classic game viewing, the best time to visit Tanzania is usually the long dry season from June to October, when the grass is short and animals gather near water. January and February are often just as good in the southern Serengeti, where the wildebeest calve. The long rains (roughly March to May) and the short rains (roughly November to December) bring green landscapes and fewer vehicles. Exact timing varies from year to year.
