Frequently asked questions
What is the best time to visit Tanzania for a safari?
Tanzania offers excellent safari opportunities year-round. The dry season (June–October) is ideal for wildlife viewing as animals gather around water. January–March brings the spectacular calving season in Ndutu. July–October features the dramatic Mara River crossings. Every season has something extraordinary to offer.
Can I customise my safari itinerary?
Absolutely — 100%. Every safari we offer is a starting point, not a fixed package. We tailor each itinerary to your specific travel dates, interests, group size, accommodation preferences, and budget. Share your dream safari with us and we'll build it around you, completely free and with no obligation to book.
Are your safaris private or group tours?
We offer both private and shared group safaris. Private safaris give you maximum flexibility and exclusivity with your own vehicle and guide — ideal for families, couples, and those wanting a personalised experience. Group safaris offer great value for solo travellers or those happy to share game drives. We'll recommend the best option for you.
Do you cater to travellers with disabilities or special needs?
Yes — inclusive travel is at the core of our mission at Lucky Wild Safaris. We have experience planning safaris for travellers of varying abilities, including families with children with disabilities. Please speak with us directly about your specific needs and we will design an experience that truly works for every member of your group.
Do you arrange airport transfers and domestic flights?
Yes. We provide complete travel logistics — airport pickups and drop-offs at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, domestic flight bookings between parks, and all ground transfers throughout your safari. We handle every detail so you can focus on enjoying the adventure.
What does a typical safari day look like?
A typical day begins with an early wake-up (5:30–6am) for the magical golden-hour game drive. Return for breakfast at 9–10am, then a midday rest during the hottest part of the day (animals rest too!). Afternoon game drives begin around 3:30pm and continue to sunset around 6–7pm. Evenings are spent at camp with dinner under the stars.
What should I pack for a Tanzania safari?
We recommend: neutral-coloured lightweight clothing (khaki, beige, olive), a light fleece or jacket for early mornings and high-altitude stops, comfortable closed shoes, sunscreen (SPF 50+), insect repellent, a quality camera with extra batteries, binoculars, and any personal medications. We send every guest a comprehensive packing list after booking.
Do I need a visa and travel insurance for Tanzania?
Most nationalities can obtain a Tanzania Tourist Visa online (e-Visa) before travel, or on arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering medical evacuation, trip cancellation, and safari activities. We can advise on the best options based on your nationality and specific itinerary.
How do I book and what are the payment options?
Start by sending us your enquiry through this form, by email, or on WhatsApp. We'll send you a free personalised itinerary and quote within 24 hours. Once you're happy, we require a 30% deposit to confirm your booking, with the balance due 60 days before travel. We accept bank transfer, credit card, and other methods — we'll confirm the options for your booking.
