The best times for a 6-day Tanzania luxury safari are from June to October (dry season), when wildlife viewing is at its peak as animals gather around waterholes. Another great period is January to March, during the calving season in the Southern Serengeti, which attracts predators and offers dramatic wildlife interactions.

6. What should I pack for a luxury safari?

Essentials for your 6-day Tanzania luxury safari include lightweight, neutral-colored clothing (avoid black or blue to prevent attracting tsetse flies), and layers for the chilly mornings and evenings. You'll also need comfortable walking shoes for game walks and exploring. Don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a good camera to capture the stunning wildlife. Additionally, bring soft-sided luggage, as many safari flights have strict weight limits.
