Planning your first safari is exciting — seeing lions, elephants and breathtaking landscapes is a dream for many travelers. But if you’re new to Tanzania safari tours » , a few simple mistakes can make the difference between a smooth adventure and a stressful trip.

At Joagro Safaris Tanzania, we know exactly what it takes to make a perfect safari. Here’s how to avoid the most common mistakes first-time safari-goers make.

Packing the Wrong Clothes

You think you should pack shorts and t-shirts for warm days but early mornings and evenings on safari can get cold. Always pack light layers — a fleece or jacket — and neutral colored clothes. Bright colors can attract unwanted insects or disturb wildlife.

Ignoring the Best Seasons

Not all months are created equal. If you want to see the Great Migration or wildlife at its most active, timing matters. Dry season from June to October is best for game viewing. Plan your Tanzania safari tour around the season that matches your expectations.
