WHY TRAVEL WITH EDDY TOUR & SAFARIS?
A safari should feel personal.
At Eddy Tour & Safaris, we do not want you to feel like just another passenger following a fixed schedule. We want you to feel like a welcomed guest.
Our experienced safari guides understand the parks, wildlife, roads, seasons, and local communities. They know that sometimes the best safari moment is not the animal you expected to see, but the unexpected experience that happens along the way.
We also believe in honest communication. Before your trip, we explain your itinerary, accommodation, transportation, inclusions, and additional costs so you can travel with confidence.
Most importantly, we want you to enjoy Tanzania.
Whether you are traveling as a couple, family, honeymooner, solo traveler, group of friends, or private group, we can adapt this itinerary to suit your needs.
THE BEST TIME FOR THIS SAFARI
Tanzania can be visited throughout much of the year, but different seasons offer different experiences.
The dry seasons are generally popular for wildlife viewing because animals are easier to spot around available water sources.
The green seasons can be especially beautiful, with lush landscapes, fewer crowds in some areas, and excellent opportunities for photography.
For travelers hoping to experience the Great Migration, timing and location are particularly important because the herds move throughout the Serengeti ecosystem during the year.
Zanzibar is also a wonderful destination to combine with a safari, offering the perfect opportunity to rest after several active days in the bush.
We recommend choosing travel dates based on the experiences you value most, rather than simply looking for a single “best” month.
WHAT TO PACK
For your safari, we recommend lightweight and comfortable clothing in neutral or natural colors, comfortable walking shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, a reusable water bottle, camera equipment, binoculars, personal medication, and a light jacket or sweater for cool mornings and evenings.
For Zanzibar, pack swimwear, sandals, beach clothing, sunscreen, and light clothing. When visiting villages and cultural sites, modest clothing is recommended as a sign of respect for local customs.
A soft-sided travel bag is often more practical for safari travel than a large hard suitcase, particularly when domestic flights are involved.
A JOURNEY YOU WILL REMEMBER
Imagine starting your morning watching elephants beneath giant baobab trees.
Imagine descending into the Ngorongoro Crater and seeing wildlife surrounded by dramatic volcanic landscapesImagine driving across the endless Serengeti plains as the sun begins to set.
Then imagine waking the next day to the sound of the Indian Ocean, walking barefoot along a white sandy beach, and enjoying the warm tropical breeze of Zanzibar.
That is the magic of combining a Tanzania safari with Zanzibar.It gives you two completely different sides of Tanzania in one unforgettable holiday: the wild heart of Africa and the peaceful beauty of the Indian Ocean.
With Eddy Tour & Safaris, every part of the journey is carefully planned so you can focus on what really matters enjoying the experience.
From your first welcome at the airport to your final transfer in Zanzibar, our team is there to make your holiday comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable.
