Yes. Tanzania is a relatively safe country to visit. On safari, unpleasant incidents are extremely rare. Our claim is backed up by a recent survey on Tanzanian safety.

Tanzania Safari is well-known for its activities that take place all year. Tanzania has two distinct dry and wet seasons due to its proximity to the equator. As a result, the best time to go on a Tanzania safari is determined by the type of activity you choose. The dry season, which runs from June to October and December to March, is considered the best time to visit Tanzania.
From December to March, the Serengeti Migration congregates in large herds around Lake Ndutu in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, making it the best time to see wildebeest calving. The wildebeest migration river crossing in the Serengeti, on the other hand, takes place from June to November.
The cost of a safari in Tanzania varies greatly depending on a number of factors. A Tanzania safari can cost as little as USD $200 per person per day and as much as USD $2000 per day, depending on your travel itinerary and accommodations, but most are in the $400 to $700 per person per day range.
