Best Time to Visit

When planning your Tanzania Family Safari, consider the best time to visit based on seasonal factors that enhance wildlife viewing and ensure comfortable weather for families.

Shoulder seasons like January to March and November to December offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds, perfect for those seeking quieter experiences and discounted rates.

Packing Guide

Prepare for your Tanzania Family Safari with a comprehensive packing guide that includes essentials tailored for both parents and children.

Ensure a safe and enjoyable family safari by prioritizing health and safety precautions before traveling to Tanzania. Consult with your healthcare provider well in advance to discuss necessary vaccinations and medications recommended for the region. Common vaccinations may include those for yellow fever, typhoid, hepatitis A and B, and routine immunizations. Malaria is prevalent in Tanzania, so antimalarial medication and mosquito repellent are essential. Pack a first-aid kit with basic supplies, and be mindful of food and water hygiene to prevent any health issues during your safari.

By planning ahead with these travel tips, you can maximize enjoyment and minimize potential challenges during your Tanzania Family Safari with Williamson Adventures.

A team of professionals that I would recommend WilliamsomAdventures is a very recommendable Safari team, in the pre-consultation and confirmation of details William gave me the biggest feeling of professionalism and reliability. As I was travelling alone with my children on the safari, I was very satisfied with the safety and hassle-free experience throughout the trip, all the matters were just as William had arranged for us before departure, and all our requirements were greatly satisfied. Our guide, Ibra, was very professional on our safari and helped us to maximise our safari with safety in mind, we saw a lot of animals on our journey and he introduced us to many of them to help us understand the land better. Undoubtedly, my children and I were very impressed with this trip in July and I would gladly recommend them to friends who are interested in going Safari in Tanzania.

7-Day LeMosho Route I'm thrilled with Williamson Adventures! My brother and I traveled from Canada and were initially quite nervous about trekking Mount Kilimanjaro. However, upon arriving in Moshi, all our nerves vanished. We were warmly welcomed at the hotel by William and one of our guides, who were incredibly friendly. The rest of the trip was fantastic! The guides, porters, and cooks were all amazing, and the food was delicious. The support and encouragement we received throughout exceeded our expectations. Planning the trip required some coordination, but William was always quick to respond and incredibly helpful. For example, he seamlessly arranged our pick-up from Nairobi to Moshi. He also organized an extra night at the hotel in Moshi and an airport shuttle, even though he didn't have to. This company truly goes above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. We highly, highly recommend Williamson Adventures! Thanks to William, our guides Kevin and Yoeseff, and our amazing porters—the real superheroes!

Helped to celebrate birthday of one friend during the trip, very unforgettable experience!!

Lucky safari We came across Williamson Adventure by accident, and we also chose a few ground handlers to compare, and Williamson was the one with the fastest feedback and the best value for money in terms of combined quotes. Our team of 10 people unanimously gave them five stars, they provide the best service. The owner of Williamson was patient and meticulous in communicating with us beforehand and tried his best to meet our every request, and he also solved the problems we encountered during the safari, and even went to the airport to see us off before we finally left Arusha. We are very satisfied with Williamson's sincerity, and would like to recommend it to every friend who is interested in safari in Tanzania, it's really great and very thoughtful!

Outstanding experience with Williamson Adventures I would say I couldn't be more impressed with their service provided by Williamson Adventures! William were incredibly helpful, he always replied to my messages in a quick and efficient way. The logistics of the trip were flawlessly managed. Transfers, guides were all arranged seamlessly, allowing me to relax and immerse myself in the safari adventure. The guide has experience of more than 10 year, was really a pro—well-informed, friendly, and passionate about sharing their knowledge of those animals and landscapes. And we managed to see Big Five! Overall, Williamson Adventures exceeded my expectations in every way. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for their clients’ experiences make them a great choice for anyone planning a trip to Tanzania. I really appreciate that and will definitely come back again! x

难忘的非洲之行 第一次去非洲旅游，通过safarigo与多家地接社取得了邮件联系，William是其中回复最迅速且沟通最顺畅的，添加微信后对行程的安排和细节都根据我们的要求一一修改核对，他替我们安排的最后一晚住宿甚至能在房间阳台看见斑马和水羚；因为国际航班晚点导致在坦桑尼亚国内转机时间不足的问题能及时帮忙与航司沟通解决,后续发生了一些不愉快也妥善处理了；向导Godlove车技杠杠的，我们车况OK工具齐全，路上碰到其他地接社的车辆故障他都会出手相助，safari途中多次近距离看到狮子也多亏有他。此外想提醒各位同胞，坦桑尼亚的中国游客相对较少，中文导游水平良莠不齐，如果需要地接社提供相关服务，建议通过即时通讯软件提前确认导游的口语水平，以免出现与预期大相径庭的情况。总的来说，这是一次非常难忘和美妙的非洲之行，希望有机会能再来坦桑尼亚。

Professional and reliable service. 100% recommended the company Williamson Adventures. It was a pleasure to have booked my trip with this company. Very good communication from the beginning. They helped me with the 5-day itinerary in Tanzania, visiting the most important parks such as Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The guide we had was very punctual and also very professional at each point we visited. The Lodges that were booked were of good quality and generally very professional service. 100% recommendable. Thanks for everything William!!

7-Day Migration Safari with Williamson: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience! My friend and I had a 7-day migration safari (River Crossing) with Williamson Adventures exceeded our expectations. The captivating sights of wildebeest herds were absolutely breathtaking, a true testament to the wonders of nature. Our knowledgeable guide Raymond made the experience even more remarkable with his deep understanding of the wildlife and their behaviors. The seamless combination of the safari with a day trip to Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Tour added a perfect touch of cultural immersion. The lush greenery and the thundering waterfall were a sight to behold, and the coffee tour was enlightening. Williamson's team orchestrated a flawless journey, ensuring comfort and safety throughout. This safari was a life-changing experience, and I'm incredibly grateful to William and his team for making it so exceptional.
