Top Safari Packing Tips
Safari’s are generally laid back, so no need to dress up in anything formal. Aim for loose fitting, comfortable and easy to wash clothing. Cotton and linen are great as they are more breathable and very comfortable.
The climate is ever changing in Africa, layering is very useful. A light fleece jacket, for example, is loose but also provides extra comfort for those chilly evenings.
During October to December, you can expect short rains. The long rains are from March to June . If visiting during these months a raincoat is recommend.
June to September, during the dry season, pack a sweaters and tops for layering as mornings and evenings can be chilly, but afternoons are often warm and sunny.
Always carry your essential items in your carry-on bag, not checked luggage.
US currency is widely accepted across Tanzania, we suggest carrying some on your person to exchange upon arrival.
Major towns in Tanzania will have ATMs and banks where you may withdraw money with a debit card (make sure to arrange with your bank before traveling).

Our Travellers Reviews
Outstanding tour operator
I can't say enough good things about Bryson and Petit Maasai. Bryson handled our last-minute trip to Tanzania like he'd been working on it for months instead of a handful of days after we connected about a week before our family arrived.
Awsome
Exciting trip!!! Bryson made a private tour with masai mbome & we had a rest in mountains near Ngorongoro - everything was awsome!!! Morevover, all of our individual things we re made with great discount!Mike is great ranger too!
Kilimanjaro With Petit Maasai safaris- 5 stars!!!
We book 7 days Kilimanjaro with Petit Maasai safaris after having the safari with another company and we made it with a brilliant guide to the summit. We took the Lemosho route, starting in the rain forest and approached the camp via various tents campsites.
A great experience!
We did a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania with Petit Maasai Safaris and it was a great experience! The guide and the cook were really professional and nice with us, trying to make us feel comfortable and to satisfy our requests. Thanks a lot!
