Our Experiences in Tanzania

Authentic Safari Experiences in Tanzania

A safari in Tanzania is about more than just seeing wildlife — it’s about experiencing nature in its most authentic form. At Mega Adventures, we focus on creating genuine safari experiences that bring you closer to the landscapes, the animals and the rhythm of the wild.

Many travellers today look for safaris that feel real and not overcrowded. Our approach is built around calm, personal moments in nature, where each game drive feels unique
and meaningful.

Why Our Safaris Feel More Personal and Natural

Unlike many operators, we avoid relying on constant radio communication to chase animal sightings and crowded viewing spots. Instead, we invest heavily in training our guides to read the environment, track animals naturally and position the vehicle with care and respect.

This creates a more peaceful and intimate safari experience, where the magic happens in quiet moments — not in lines of vehicles.

Enhance Your Safari with Unique Add-On Experiences

A safari can be so much more than game drives. By adding carefully selected activities before, during or after your safari, you can personalise your journey and make it even more meaningful.

From walking safaris and cultural encounters to waterfalls, hot springs and local day trips, these unique add-ons bring you closer to Tanzania beyond the national parks.

The migration basically depends on the weather. Triggered by the rain, the annual pilgrimage must search for water and grass to survive. From about December to May with some seasonal variations in time scale the migrating herds are on the short grass plains from lake Ndutu past Naabi hill.

There they give birth and regain their strength. In May as the water becomes the limiting factor on the short grass plains hundreds of thousands of animals stretching over many kilometers heard Northwest, Simba and Moru become the favorite places to watch them. The migration swings Northeast heading into the neighboring Masaai Mara Game reserve in Kenya during September. Around October the march begins again heading southwards back to Tanzania crossing the Mara river in pursuit of the of the nutritious grass in the southern plains where they began their journey 12 months earlier. This phenomenon is sometimes called the Circular Migration.

Clothing on Safari should be as comfortable as they can be, recommended on safari are khaki, olive or brown colored clothing as they blend with the surrounding nature well and offers the added benefit of concealing dirt, moreover light colors help when the sun is hot.
Lodges on Safari offer continental cuisine, in addition to local specialties to appeal to a wide range of palates. We understand that everyone has unique dietary preferences and requirements, and we want to assure you that your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. Whether you have specific dietary restrictions, allergies, or simply prefer certain types of cuisine, we are here to cater to your needs.
Yes, safaris in Tanzania can be a fantastic experience for families with children. Many of the lodges cater for children as young as 7 years of age, additional bed for a child sharing a room with parents at a reduced cost may be provided by many, with activities specifically designed to keep them engaged such as swimming pools which is always a popular attraction for children, however please note that the pools are not fenced and adult supervision is required at all times. For safety reasons, we do not recommend bringing children less than 7 years of age for a tented camp safari, but accommodation in lodges is preferred in this case. Some of the lodges and permanent campsites inside the national parks have a minimum age requirement depending on their location.
Malaria is endemic in Africa, please consult your doctor for assistance on the most suitable Prophylactic to be used.

At present the only vaccination that is required for entry into Tanzania is the yellow fever and it must be presented on arrival at the airport in Tanzania. However, it is always advisable to consult your physician to discuss on the precautions you need to take before travelling to ensure that you have an enjoyable and safe holiday. Mega Adventures advices you to speak to your physician or travel doctor to ensure that you have the correct protection for your trip to Africa.

Visas are required by most visitors to Tanzania. In order to get a visa applicable for Tanzania you have following two options;

1. You can either apply for a visa at the counter in the airport upon arrival to Tanzania. There is a possibility that this procedure can take some time, as you have to go through several queues. Payment for visas on entry into Tanzania is in US dollars only.

2. The option that we highly recommend is that you apply for your visa online. It is a simple way of applying for a visa and you skip the longest queues at the airport upon arrival. You fill out your information on the website and choose the Tanzanian embassy nearest you to handle your application. After application you will have your visa in about 3-4 weeks (often takes shorter time than this). Link to website for applying for visa: https://visa.immigration.go.tz/

Tanzania is a truly year round destination, weather is variable and so it is quite possible to go for days without rain during the peak of the rainy season, or have showers in the middle of the dry season. Generally the peak rainy season begins mid-March – mid May, while short rains are normally expected in the months of November.

The drier seasons are generally considered preferable for game viewing. Dry weather offers more reliable road conditions than in the wet season months. Dry spells force game to congregate around the limited water sources, and sparser foliage makes the animals easier to find and see. While these are prime game viewing conditions, bear in mind that the dry season is the peak season (June – October), Other Peak travel seasons are December – February.

In February / March one of the Wildlife`s most amazing spectacles occurs, for 3-4 weeks 90% of the female wildebeest give birth, flooding the Southern Plains with thousands of new calves each day.

It is essential to book your trip well in advance during peak seasons.

Mega Adventures offers some safaris with greatly reduced rates in the months of April and May, greater discounts are also offered to larger groups willing to travel at this time, yes it is low season and it is very green at this time for those who prefer the sweet, fresh powerfully evocative smell of cool air from fresh rain that has touched the rich nutritious soil, a very strong and sweet odor that is hard to ignore.

"Awesome safari with an experienced guide."

Yasin is an excellent driver and a very experienced guide, who dicovers even the ear of a lion hiding in the grass in a distance of 50 meters. So we have been lucky to see a lot of animals. Therefore our Safari was an awesome experience. We also received lots of information about the animals, the National Parks, the country of Tansania and the people living there. Since he is very humorous guy, we had a lot of fun, too. Thanks Yasin for a very special and fantastic time.

"Just top notch. Great guide, brilliant driver and wonderfully positive to have around."

Can’t recommend Yasin highly enough. Endlessly informative with an almost sixth sense of where the animals are likely to be. Also a funny and ever positive travelling companion who contributed much to a family holiday of a lifetime.

"The most beautiful experience in our lives"

We had a three-day safari with Yasin. Yasin gave us a very warm welcome right from the start and made us feel very familiar and friendly. It didn’t feel like a tour with a guide. We felt that we were in good hands and were able to enjoy the safari. We particularly liked the fact that Yasin always involved us in everything. For example, we were able to decide when our day began or ended. Yasin was able to tell us a lot about the wildlife, but also about the culture and the country. He was in constant contact with his colleagues, which gave us a good opportunity to see the BIG5. The moment of our engagement was very special for us. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again, dear Yasin. Thank you for your support and the great picnic spot. You were so well prepared, always took care of everything and made our dream come true. We will never forget these moments and we will never forget you. Stay healthy and as cheerful as we got to know you. Kind regards from Bremen (Germany) Jessica & Brian

"unglaublich eindrucksvolle Reise"

Wir waren vom 26.7. bis zum 05.8. mit Yassin auf Safari. Alles klappte wunderbar, von der Abholung am Flughafen bis zum Ende der Reise. Wir erfuhren von ihm unglaublich viel über Land und Menschen und Tierwelt. Er kannte sich in allen Themen, zu denen wir neugierig waren, aus. Die Gamedrives in den Naturparks waren perfekt. Wir entdeckten unendlich viele Tiere und er zeigte uns nicht nur die Tiere, die viele Touristen ausschließlich sehen wollen, sondern die so unendlich artenreiche Tierwelt. Die Serengeti war natürlich extrem eindrucksvoll. Vor allem die große Tiermigration, bei der wir Dank Yassin einen Platz in der ersten Reihe hatten. Eindrucksvoll auch die Unterkünfte dort, so nah an der Natur und voller perfekten Service. Das ist wahrer Luxus. Das Auto und auch der Transport in ihm war komfortabel. Kurz zusammengefasst: eine unglaublich eindrucksvolle, sichere, individuelle, sehr inhaltsreiche und unvergessliche Reise. Vielen vielen Dank

"Wonderful and Committed guide with a huge passion for his work🦩"

My family and I were so lucky that we had Hussein as our guide! He were really passionate about his work, which resulted in us learning so much about the nature we went to, seeing a lot of different animals meanwhile having a truly comfy trip where you felt safe all the time☺️ I will truly recommend Hussein as a guide for your wildlife adventure 🍀

"Yasin is friendly,competent and attentive"

We spend ten days with Yasin in the Serengeti, Taranguire and Ngorongoro Crater. Yasin, our guide, was always optimally prepared and also discovered the animals that were well hidden. He kept the necessary distance and always showed consideration for the animals. We felt safe and in good hands. Thanks to Yasin we experienced a unique Safaritour that we will never forget.
