Tanzania offers excellent wildlife viewing all year. The dry season (roughly June to October) concentrates animals near water, while January to March is calving season in the southern Serengeti. Read our travel-guide article on the best time for a Tanzania safari for more detail.

Many families enjoy safaris together. We can suggest shorter driving days, family-friendly accommodation and activities suited to the ages of your children.

No technical climbing skills are needed on the main routes, but you should be comfortable walking for several hours a day over consecutive days. Regular hiking in the months before your climb is the best preparation.

It depends on how many days you have, whether you prefer camping or huts, and your experience at altitude. Longer routes such as Lemosho and the Northern Circuit allow more time to acclimatise. Compare the routes on our Kilimanjaro climbing page.

Acute mountain sickness can affect anyone above around 2,500 metres, regardless of fitness. Ascending gradually, staying hydrated and choosing a longer route all help. Always tell your guide if you feel unwell, and seek medical advice before your trip if you have health concerns.
