Follow the 4 Tips if you are going on Tanzania Safari for the first time.
Pack Essentials
A safari tour does not require you to pack more items or clothes but the right ones. Follow the ‘less is more’ packing rule when going on a safari adventure.
Tanzania is hot and humid nearly all year-round, therefore, pack light material, and breathable clothing of neutral colors. Do not stuff the bags with clothes as everyone on the truck gets limited luggage space.
Besides clothes, bring a camera, batteries, memory card, a first-aid kit, sunscreen, hat, chapstick, a water bottle, a mess kit, a lightweight bag and backpack, binoculars, a comfortable pair of shoes, and a swimming suit.
Come With an Open Mind
It is a game park, not a zoo so you do not know what is waiting for you. Likewise, there is no need to stress about things that you can not control.
This journey does not always go as planned, you may not see as many animals or the big five as you expected. Be open-minded and flexible and prepare yourself for the good and the bad part of the voyage. Besides exploring the wilderness, be ready for hot weather, mosquitos, and a bumpy ride.
Don’t Drive On Your Own
First-timers should not drive on their own among the wildlife. Make sure you are accompanied by a ranger and tracker.
If you are doing a walking bush tour, it should be done with a ranger and certified tour guide. An armed ranger will protect you from any risky situation while you are walking through an environment full of dangerous animals like lions, leopards, and others.
Don’t Forget to Bring a Camera
There is no good reason as to why you should not take photos of these beautiful wild animals. Shoot a few memories and relive the highlights of your safari tour through these photos and videos.
Keep your camera nearby as you never know when and where you will see any wild animal. Capture the best moments from breathtaking sunsets to unforgettable landmarks and amazing wildlife.
