Is it safe to visit national parks in Tanzania?
Yes, Tanzania’s national parks are generally very safe for tourists. Game drives are conducted by professional guides, and camps/lodges follow strict safety protocols. Always follow your guide’s instructions, especially regarding wildlife and movement after dark.
What should I pack for a safari in a national park?
Essential items include neutral-colored clothing, a hat, sunscreen, binoculars, insect repellent, camera, and a reusable water bottle. Temperatures can drop at night, so a light jacket is also recommended, especially in highland parks like Ngorongoro.
Can I self-drive in Tanzanian national parks?
Self-driving is possible in many parks, but it’s only recommended for experienced travelers due to rough roads, navigation challenges, and wildlife risks. Most visitors choose guided safaris, which offer better wildlife tracking and local knowledge.
