Local tip for smooth bookings

If you plan to take one of Tanzania’s best selling safari tours, try to schedule your trip to start midweek, around Wednesday or Thursday. Many travellers arrive on weekends, so the parks and lodges can be busier then. Booking early morning game drives also means quieter roads and better animal sightings. Also, when staying in Arusha, choose a neighborhood like Njiro or Olasiti; they’re calmer than the center and closer to main departure points for tours.
