Unleash your wild side

Yes — and it's a rewarding way to experience Tanzania's two greatest landscapes, mountains and savannahs. The airport you will likely fly into, Kilimanjaro International, sits right between the mountain and the northern national parks, so you can go from summiting Africa's tallest peak to watching elephants in Tarangire or golden light sweeping across the Serengeti. Our packages are tailor-made, so we shape your itinerary around your energy levels and travel goals — balancing achievement with relaxation in one trip.

Safari360 does not process travel insurance, so please consult your insurance broker when planning your trip. It is very important to have travel insurance that covers health costs, your belongings and more during your travels. Safari360 is a member of AMREF Flying Doctors (based in Nairobi, with a branch in Arusha), and we usually issue evacuation insurance cards to clients before the safari starts. This covers pick-up by light aircraft with skilled doctors from remote airstrips in the parks and reserves, and evacuation to hospital only — it does not replace your medical insurance, and medical bills are settled directly by the patient.

The official language is Kiswahili, spoken by most of the population, who also speak tribal languages (about 120). English is spoken and understood by many, especially in towns. Our guides are fluent in English, French, Spanish, Italian and German.

Tanzania is one of the safest countries to travel in. Tanzanians are kind and generous people, eager to help visitors get the most out of their stay, and the country is a true example of tolerance and cooperation, with a multicultural diversity that has co-existed for centuries. As everywhere, a little common sense goes a long way — lock valuables in the hotel safe, which frees your mind to soak up the natural beauty.

There are mosquitoes in Tanzania, especially on the coast and around the Rift Valley, so bring insect repellent and take malaria prevention before and during your trip. Vaccinations against hepatitis A, polio and typhoid are also recommended. Please check with your local health authority for the latest immunisation recommendations and requirements.

You don't need to be a mountaineer — you just need to be able to walk. Climb slow, breathe deep, and choose a route with enough days to acclimatise. Longer routes such as the Lemosho and the Northern Circuit have the highest summit success rates.
