Increíble experiencia 10/10 Nos lo pasamos genial en nuestro safari de campamento de 5 días con Blessing Safaris. Desde el principio, Elibariki fue de gran ayuda, resolviendo todos los detalles y respondiendo todas nuestras preguntas. Todo salió bien. Durante el safari nos sentimos como reyes. David, nuestro cocinero, preparó la comida más deliciosa y Mosses, nuestro guía conductor, nos cuidó muy bien. ¡No podemos agradecer lo suficiente al equipo por una experiencia tan increíble! ¡Muchas gracias!

Det bästa valet du kan göra! Vi åkte nyligen på en resa med vår familj till Zanzibar med Blessing Safaris, och jag måste säga, det var verkligen exceptionellt. Från det ögonblick jag började planera var teamet otroligt hjälpsamma och uppmärksamma. De såg till att varje detalj var omhändertagen, vilket gjorde bokningsprocessen smidig och stressfri. De sammanställde en perfekt resplan som gjorde att vi kunde uppleva det bästa av Zanzibars kultur, historia och naturliga skönhet. Deras personliga uppmärksamhet och omsorg gjorde resan ännu mer minnesvärd, eftersom de alltid var tillgängliga för att hjälpa till med alla behov eller frågor vi hade. Vi är otroligt tacksamma mot hela Blessing Safaris-teamet för att de gjorde min resa till Zanzibar oförglömlig. Deras passion för resor och engagemang för excellens lyser igenom i allt de gör. Jag rekommenderar starkt Blessing Safaris till alla som vill utforska Afrikas skönhet, och jag kan inte vänta med att boka min nästa resa om några år. Speciellt tack till Mariam, Said och Elibariki som var i kontakt med oss ​​från början till slut.

Go with Blessings! You want to go on safari in Tanzania? Go with Blessing Safaris! Elibariki (owner and head of management) personally takes care of you - from the beginning of your ideas to the end of the trip. Going single or in a small group is the best to get the real experience of a safari and you can personalize your trip as well. Eli is eager to make everything happen so you can enjoy the most. The small company based in Arusha has very good guides - I had the honor of going with Zoya, very experienced beeing the head of the asociation of Tanzania guides before he retired, sharing all his knowledge of flora&Fauna with you while on the game drives. He knows the Parks by heart and has a very good sense of spotting the wildlife. We did the classic route (Tarangire, Manara, Ndudu/Serengeti). Now is the small rain season, everything is green - but it makes the animals move. Zoya is also a very good driver, so managed even in the muddiest roads. We had it all - rain and shine, flat tire and broken fuel pump connection (but all the guides and drivers help each other en route, so you are never alone till you get going again - an adventure!), lion families very close (could watch them for hours!) and the rare rhinos in a far distance - so we were lucky and came across all Big Five! ....accomodation/lodges and food always were excellent, the tented camps are best for wild life and nature experience. You see, the stories go on...I stop here and stay Thank you again for a wonderful trip, support and guidance. Our motto: Never give up, stay positive and see through your heart. See you again. Asante sana!

Viva Tanzania It was a great trip, the experience in safari was fantastic. Elibariki advises on any Tanzanian question, even non-safari related and before our trip begins. In my all life I have never had such a good travel advisor, who answered questions so quickly and in such detailed fashion. It was unbelievable. I thank him very much for that. He arranged trips to and from the airport to our hotel in Arusha. Very nice. We took a 5 day safari - everything was perfectly organized. Our guide was Timothy - an extremely good guide who speaks excellent English, has a good sense of humor and has a lot of knowledge about animals. He answered lots and lots of questions about animals and plants. We were accompanied by shef, who cooked so well and was a very good passenger. I felt somehow like they were my friends, maybe because communication was so good, maybe because it was so much fun. So I have the most wonderful memories of the trip to Tanzania safari. I thank them very much for that!

Underbara upplevelser😋. Vi bokade en resa till Ngorongoro och Tarangire de sista minuterna med Blessing Safaris men vad de erbjuder det var så fantastiskt att jag inte ens förväntade mig och vi undrade vad de kunde erbjuda om vi kunde boka i tid😳. De bokade ett mycket elegant hotell, lunchen i parken var så läcker att vi verkligen njöt av det. Elibariki bryr sig verkligen om oss 💐. Det var en otrolig och oförglömlig upplevelse för oss, speciellt för vårt barn. Vår guide (Mr Zoe) var så fantastisk, och jag tror att vi var så lyckliga att ha honom på vår resa. Nästa gång vi förväntar oss att besöka Serengeti och hoppfulla bland alla andra företag kommer vi fortfarande att välja Blessing Safaris. Jag rekommenderar verkligen detta företag för dig som vill besöka Tanzania och Zanzibar.

Best Safari Tour We booked a trip to Tanzania with Blessing Safaris and it was awesome. They handled our entire trip from flights, transfers, to hotel/camping, to parks permits. It was so nice to pass that responsibility to somebody as competent and timely as Blessing Safaris. Elibariki Simon was also there for us the entire time to handle questions and deal with travel logistics. We have also used for last hotels needs and he always comes through! This trip was incredible, from day one our guide/driver Zoia was amazing .. caring and very knowledgeable. Thanks Blessing Safaris who made possible this unforgettable experience! Highly recommend!

General Travel Information

For peace and tranquility during your trip to Africa, the best travel insurance coverage should be a vital agenda in your trip planning. Whether you’re planning to visit Africa for a wildlife safari or Mount Kilimanjaro climbing, travel insurance is a requirement for all legal companies which really care for their client’s safety while on safari. Read more about Travel insurance for Africa 

No wonder you have been planning your Africa safari for years or even months now, but your minds don’t settle on what you should pack or not for your trip. It’s ok to feel that way, we are all human. In this article, we are going to discuss in detail how to pack for your Africa safari.

There are some restrictions from flight companies on what you should carry or not, recommended bags, and even weight allowed for free during your travel to African destinations. Other restrictions are imposed by the government or park authorities, for instance, the drone uses or even guns during your trip.

Not only do most safari-goers have weight restrictions on flights (a typical weight restriction is 15- 20 kilograms or 33- 44 pounds total per person, including camera equipment and carry-ons), but you also have the challenge of knowing which types of clothes to wear on safari are appropriate.  Here is the guide for safari packlist for Africa

 

As any other endeavor challenges are part of the journey, you may experience congestion while arriving or you may experience network outage in most of the areas while on safari. Bear in mind that there are challenges which we can control as human beings but in case of natural disasters that we do not wish to happen if we are supposed to stop your tour, immediate actions are necessary to save a life.

This comes not actually from the company side but has something to do with yourself, you may wish to support locals by buying souvenirs or you may arrange some extra tours around the city or tipping to your team. Is the best way to acknowledge others as one of the best practices in life. Feel comfortable to discuss with your safari expert  anytime.

Tanzania is situated directly south of the Equator and covers 938,000 sq. km with an estimated population of 40 million people. The country is densely populated in the northern, eastern, and coastal areas while the southern part is not densely populated.

Tanzania’s climate is tropical and there are two rain seasons the longer being March through May and the shorter between October and November. The dry season lasts from July through October with clear skies and sunshine the whole day. The weather is suitable for beach vacations. The coastal area is normally hot and humid.

Visa

Coming to Tanzania made it easy for visitors is very simple to obtain a Tanzanian visa, you can either at :

1. Tanzanian Embassy or High Commission from your country o

2. Upon arrival at the port of entery that is, the airport or at the border port.

The above procedure applies to North American and European citizens. For more details about visas please contact the nearest Tanzanian Embassy or High Commission in your area.

Airports 
Tanzania’s International Airports: Tanzania has two international airports, one outside the commercial capital Dar es Salaam (airport code: DAR), and the other near Arusha (and Mount Kilimanjaro) called Kilimanjaro International Airport (airport code: JRO). Charter flights and some international operators fly directly to Zanzibar Island (airport code: ZNZ)

Getting to Tanzania

If you’re planning to visit Northern Tanzania, the best airport to arrive at is Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA). KLM has daily flights from Amsterdam. Ethiopian and Kenya Airways / Precision Air also fly into KIA.

If you’re planning to visit Zanzibar, southern and western Tanzania, it is ideal to fly to the capital city of Dar es Salaam. European carriers that fly into Dar es Salaam include British Airways, KLM, and Swissair(which share codes with Delta). There are long-distance bus services between Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.

Attractions

Wildlife: The country has a lot to offer educationally, historically, for leisure and adventures. These adventures are safaris (game) driving in National Parks like Serengeti, Manyara, and Tarangire to see wildlife, historical sites such as museums, landscapes, mountains, beaches, lakes, rivers, and culture.

Social life: The country has more than 120 tribes. Each tribe has its own vernacular. Although there are many languages “Swahili” was adopted as the national language in 1961 right after independence.

The language has spread and is being used in the neighboring countries of Uganda, Kenya, and Central Africa. English is the second official language of the nation. You will find that Tanzanians are very welcoming and friendly.

Political system

Tanzania is perhaps the leading country on the continent of Africa for its political stability, peace, and tranquility. The political system is multi-party and the government is democratic. Political and religious conflicts are resolved through dialogue. In short, religious and tribal conflicts are very rare in this country because every citizen is free to worship as he/she pleases provided that one does not violate the law of the land

Currency

The national currency of Tanzania is the “shilling” (Tshs). Exchange rates vary and are subject to change anytime. Credit cards such as Euro-card, American Express, Master Card, Access, and Visa are accepted by most tourists’ hotels, carving shops, bureau de change, and banks. Also, Traveler’s Cheques in sterling pounds and US dollars are acceptable.

Religions

Because of its historical diversity, Tanzania is a land of various religions. Nevertheless, the major religions are Christianity, Islam, Hindu, and African Traditional Religions. On the east coast – Dar es Salaam, Bagamoyo, Zanzibar, and Tanga – the dominant religions are Islam and Hinduism.

This is due to the advent of Arabs and Eastern Indians which led to the spread of the two religions. The mainland is dominantly Christian and this is since European colonists, like Arabs, spread the Christian religion to the indigenous people.

Infrastructure & Accessibility

Major roads are paved and accessible throughout the year. Side roads and those around and within the National Parks are muddy and rough. For this reason, a 4WD car is required for safaris. Four-wheel cars include Toyota Land Cruisers, Land Rovers, and Toyota Hiace 4WD. These are the cars commonly used. The railway is also used in the eastern, southern, central, and western parts of the country.

Time: The time zone is GMT + 3 and the electricity is 220 – 240 V AC, 50 Hz

Our Professional Safari Guides are well trained about wild animal behaviors and they have enough experience to lead our clients in the wilderness. Our vehicles are 4×4 Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rovers with an open roof to give maximum visibility of a game.

African safaris guarantee unlimited sightseeing; millions of animals, birds, and plant life are the core characters of the African savanna. You roam across the countryside in search of Elephants, Lions, Rhinos, Cape buffalo, and Leopards (the so-called “Big Five”). On any given day, you will encounter Blue Wildebeests, Zebras, a large variety of antelope species, Gazelles, Giraffes, Baboons, and Hippos. The birdlife is fantastic – in some areas, up to 400 bird species have been identified! Think of the majestic Baobab tree (some tribes believe that the tree was indeed planted upside-down!), and there are hundreds of varieties of thorn trees! You will also see the acacia-dotted landscape, endless plains, majestic mountains, and the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises one could ever imagine! Think of a late afternoon thunderstorm, short but violent, and then the beautiful rainbow.

Learn more about what to expect in your African Safari in Tanzania

This aspect is much overstated. You will rarely see a snake, but if you do, it will most likely be from the safety of your safari vehicle. Tents and lodges all have bug screens fitted to windows and doors. In most areas where bugs or mosquitoes are prevalent, rooms and tents are also equipped with mosquito nets, adding to the idealistic ambiance. Bear in mind that malaria is a threat in most wildlife areas, and it is necessary to consult your doctor for advice before embarking on your safari.

Tanzania destinations are accessible throughout the year but we advise you to take your tours during the dry session for the safari so as you can enjoy the best sightings at this time as the grasses and bush are at their least dense. July to October and December through February. The green session includes March through June. Discuss with us the best option if you have also a plan to coincides with Wildebeest Migration in Serengeti National Park.

Help us to help you by organizing even better tours, and save money. If you contact us in advance you will save a big deal in terms of price as you have the best time for negotiation and customization of the tour with a safari planner and save more.

Around the turn of the century (until the ’30s and ’40s), mobile tenting was the only option, and “camp as you go” was the standard practice. Over the years the luxury connected with the traditional mobile tenting safari has increased. By the same token, one can understand that the cost of having a “luxury hotel” following one around in Africa is expensive. However, most people settle for permanent tented camps. Because they are “permanent” they can be equipped with flush toilets and traditional bathroom fixtures and conveniences. Don’t be misled by terminology – a permanent tented camp offers the comfort of a 5-star hotel but with the romance and adventure of being surrounded by the sights and sounds of Africa.

(We suggest you remember) insect repellent (the best way to prevent malaria and other insect-borne diseases), sunscreen, cap or hat, sunglasses, binoculars, detergent powder if you want to wash some clothes yourself, hand-wipes small flashlight, aspirin, diarrhea medicine, rain jacket, poncho or collapsible umbrella, plastic bags (for wet clothes, swimsuit and for keeping dust away from camera equipment), Kleenex/toilet tissue a neck chain for eyeglasses if you take them off to use binoculars and cameras, any medical prescription you need, masking tape or labels for marking exposed films cans, film, extra camera batteries.

Although more than 200 languages and dialects are spoken throughout Africa, this presents no problem as English is spoken throughout East and Southern Africa. Apart from English, all our professional guides are multilingual so we get you covered
