Why Choose Tanzania for Your African Safari from Norway?

Tanzania is a wonderful choice for Norwegian travellers looking for an African safari. The country has some of the most famous national parks in the world, with large numbers of wild animals, open grasslands, forests, lakes and beautiful mountain views.

One of the main reasons to visit Tanzania is the opportunity to see the Big Five: lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes and rhinos. You can also see giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas and hundreds of bird species.

Tanzania is also home to the Great Wildebeest Migration, one of the most famous wildlife events in Africa. Every year, millions of wildebeest and zebras move through the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grass and water. Depending on the season, you may see large herds crossing rivers, moving across open plains or giving birth to their young.

Another reason to choose Tanzania is the variety of experiences available. You can enjoy wildlife game drives, visit local communities, explore beautiful landscapes and stay in comfortable safari lodges or luxury tented camps.

For travellers coming from Norway, Tanzania offers a different holiday experience with warm weather, African wildlife and beautiful tropical beaches. You can visit several national parks during one trip and create a holiday that suits your available time.

How to Travel from Norway to Tanzania for a Safari

Travelling from Norway to Tanzania is possible through international connecting flights. Most travellers start their journey from Oslo Airport (OSL), although flights may also be available from other Norwegian cities depending on the airline and season. Some common departure cities include:

• Oslo
• Bergen
• Stavanger
• Trondheim
• Tromsø

Most journeys from Norway to Tanzania include one or more connections through international airports in Europe, the Middle East or other African countries. Flight routes, airlines and travel times depend on your departure city and travel dates.

For a northern Tanzania safari, Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) is a convenient arrival point. From the airport, you can travel to Arusha, which is the main starting point for safaris to Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara. You can also arrive through Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR) in Dar es Salaam or Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) in Zanzibar, depending on your holiday plans.

With us, you can arrange airport pickup, accommodation before your safari and transport to your first destination. We can also help you plan your safari itinerary around your international flight schedule.

Best Tanzania Safari Destinations to Visit in 2027/2028

Tanzania has many beautiful national parks and wildlife destinations. Each park offers a different experience, so you can choose the places you want to visit depending on your interests and the number of days you have available.

1. Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park is one of the most famous safari destinations in Africa. It is known for its endless open grasslands, large numbers of wild animals and the Great Wildebeest Migration. During your visit, you may see lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hyenas and large herds of wildebeest. The park is also a wonderful place for photography and watching animals in their natural environment. The Serengeti is large, with different areas offering different wildlife experiences throughout the year. You can visit the central Serengeti for excellent wildlife viewing, explore the northern area during the migration season or travel to the southern plains during the calving season. If you are visiting Tanzania for the first time, we recommend including Serengeti in your safari itinerary.

2. Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most beautiful wildlife destinations in Tanzania. It is a large volcanic caldera surrounded by high crater walls, with grasslands, forests, a lake and different wildlife habitats. You can descend into the crater for a game drive and look for lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, hippos and the rare black rhino. The crater is also a good place to see many animals in one day because wildlife lives throughout the area. Many travellers combine Ngorongoro Crater with Serengeti because the two destinations offer different but equally exciting safari experiences.

3. Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park is famous for its large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees and beautiful natural landscapes. It is a great destination for travellers who want to see elephants and enjoy a quieter safari experience. During your game drives, you may see elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes and different types of antelopes. The Tarangire River attracts many animals, especially during the dry season when water becomes harder to find in other areas. Tarangire is also a good choice for a short safari from Arusha or as part of a longer northern Tanzania safari.

4. Lake Manyara National Park

Lake Manyara National Park is known for its beautiful lake, green forests, birdlife and tree-climbing lions. It offers a different landscape compared with the open grasslands of Serengeti. During your visit, you may see elephants, giraffes, zebras, baboons, hippos and different bird species. Flamingos may also be present depending on the water conditions and season. Lake Manyara is a good destination for a one-day game drive or as part of a three-day Tanzania safari.

Which Tanzania Safari Is Best for You?

Choosing the right safari depends on your travel plans, budget and the type of experience you want.

If this is your first visit to Tanzania, a 5-day or 7-day safari is a good choice because it gives you time to explore more than one national park.

If you are travelling as a couple or on a honeymoon, a private safari offers more privacy and flexibility. Families may prefer a private safari because they can travel at their own pace and choose suitable accommodation.

If you are interested in the Great Wildebeest Migration, a longer Serengeti safari gives you more time to explore different areas and follow the expected movement of the herds.

For travellers who prefer extra comfort, a luxury safari with private game drives and carefully selected lodges is a suitable option.

You can share your interests and available holiday time with us, and we will help you select a suitable itinerary.

How Much Does a Tanzania Safari from Norway Cost?

The cost of a Tanzania safari from Norway depends on the number of days, accommodation, destinations, travel season and number of people travelling. Your choice between a private safari and a group safari will also affect the final price. Here are some general planning estimates per person per day:

These are general estimates and not fixed package prices. The actual cost can change depending on the itinerary, accommodation, park fees and group size. International flights from Norway to Tanzania are normally separate from the safari package. You should also budget for your visa, travel insurance, tips, drinks not included in your package and personal expenses.

If you are travelling with family or friends, a private safari may offer better value when the vehicle and guide costs are shared among several people. With us, you can request a quotation based on your preferred travel dates and budget.

Private Tanzania Safari vs Group Safari from Norway

When planning your Tanzania holiday, you can choose between a private safari and a group safari. Both options allow you to explore the national parks, but they offer different travel experiences.

Private Tanzania Safari

A private safari gives you your own 4x4 safari vehicle and professional guide. You can travel with your partner, family or friends without sharing the vehicle with other travellers. You also have more freedom to plan your game drives, take photographs and spend extra time watching animals. This option is suitable for couples, families and small groups who prefer privacy and flexibility.

Tanzania Group Safari

A group safari allows you to share the safari vehicle and some travel costs with other visitors. It is a good choice if you are travelling alone or want to enjoy Tanzania at a lower cost. You still visit beautiful national parks and enjoy wildlife game drives with an experienced guide. Group safari availability depends on scheduled departures and the number of participants.

Best Time to Visit Tanzania from Norway in 2027/2028

Tanzania can be visited throughout the year, but the best time depends on the wildlife experiences you want to enjoy. Since Norway has cold winters and different seasons, visiting Tanzania can also be a good opportunity to enjoy warm weather and outdoor activities. Here is what you can expect during different months:

• January to March:These months are good for visiting the southern Serengeti and Ndutu area, where wildebeest give birth to their young during the calving season. You may also see many young animals and predators.
• April to May:This is the main rainy season in Tanzania. The parks become green and beautiful, and there are usually fewer visitors. Some roads can become difficult because of heavy rain.
• June to October:This is the dry season and one of the most popular times for Tanzania safaris. Wildlife viewing is generally very good, and you may see the Great Migration moving through different parts of Serengeti.
• November to December:Short rains may occur, but safaris continue in most destinations. The landscapes become green, and you can enjoy wildlife viewing in many national parks.

If you want to see the famous wildebeest river crossings, you should plan your safari according to the expected migration location. The animals move throughout the year, and river crossings are not guaranteed.

Distance and Travel Time Between Tanzania Safari Destinations

Many travellers from Norway may not know how far apart Tanzania's national parks are. Understanding the travel distances can help you choose the right safari package and plan your holiday. Here are some approximate driving times for the northern Tanzania safari circuit:

Travel times can change depending on road conditions, weather, traffic, park entry procedures and wildlife stops along the way. Your safari guide will help plan the journey and game drives according to your itinerary.

What to Expect When You Arrive in Tanzania

When you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will complete the immigration and baggage collection procedures before meeting your airport transfer driver. If you have arranged your arrival transfer with us, your driver will meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel in Arusha or another agreed location. After checking in, you can relax and prepare for your safari. Depending on your arrival time, you may have an opportunity to explore Arusha or enjoy the hotel facilities. Before your safari begins, you will receive information about your itinerary, departure time, accommodation and what to expect during the trip. Your safari guide will also explain important safety instructions and answer any questions you may have.

Tanzania Visa Requirements for Norwegian Travellers

Norwegian citizens travelling to Tanzania for a holiday should check the current tourist visa requirements before departure. Norwegian passport holders generally need a visa for a normal tourist visit. Tanzania provides an online visa application system where visitors can submit their applications and receive updates by email. The ordinary single-entry tourist visa generally costs USD 50, subject to current requirements and approval.

Before travelling, prepare the following:

• A valid Norwegian passport with at least six months of validity.
• An approved Tanzania tourist visa.
• A return or onward flight ticket.
• Details of your accommodation and travel arrangements.
• Travel insurance for your holiday.

You can apply through the official Tanzania Immigration website:https://visa.immigration.go.tz/

Visa fees and entry requirements can change, so check the latest information before your journey in 2027 or 2028.

Can You Combine a Tanzania Safari with Zanzibar?

Yes! You can combine your Tanzania safari with a relaxing beach holiday in Zanzibar. This is a good option for Norwegian travellers who want to enjoy wildlife and beautiful beaches during the same holiday. After exploring Serengeti, Ngorongoro or Tarangire, you can take a domestic flight to Zanzibar and spend a few days relaxing by the Indian Ocean. During your Zanzibar holiday, you can enjoy white sandy beaches, swimming, snorkeling, diving, Stone Town historical tours, spice farm visits and traditional dhow boat trips. You can choose a 5-day, 7-day or 10-day Tanzania safari and add a few days in Zanzibar depending on your available holiday time.

Can You Combine a Tanzania Safari with Mount Kilimanjaro?

If you enjoy outdoor activities and mountain adventures, you can also combine your Tanzania safari with a climb to Mount Kilimanjaro. Standing at 5,895 meters, Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa. It attracts climbers from Norway and other countries who want to experience the challenge of reaching Uhuru Peak. There are different climbing routes, including Lemosho, Machame, Marangu and Northern Circuit. Depending on your fitness, experience and available time, you can choose a route that gives you enough time to climb and adjust to the altitude. After completing your climb, you can enjoy a Tanzania wildlife safari or relax on Zanzibar's beaches. This combination is a good choice if you want to make the most of your holiday in Tanzania.

What to Pack for a Tanzania Safari from Norway

Preparing the right clothes and personal items will help you enjoy your safari comfortably. Tanzania has warm weather in many areas, but early morning and evening game drives can be cool, especially in the Ngorongoro Highlands and during certain months. We recommend packing lightweight clothes in neutral colours such as khaki, brown, green and beige. Bring a warm jacket or sweater, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. You should also pack insect repellent, personal medication, toiletries, a camera, binoculars and a reusable water bottle. A small day bag is useful for carrying your personal items during game drives. If you are travelling with camera equipment, remember to bring extra batteries, memory cards and suitable charging accessories.

Travel Insurance for Norwegian Visitors

Travel insurance is an important part of planning your Tanzania safari. Before leaving Norway, make sure you have a suitable policy that covers unexpected situations during your holiday. Your insurance should ideally include medical emergencies, hospital treatment, emergency evacuation, trip cancellation, flight delays and lost or damaged luggage. If you plan to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, check that your insurance specifically covers high-altitude trekking and mountain rescue. Ordinary holiday insurance may not cover these activities. We recommend arranging your travel insurance before departure and keeping your policy details and emergency contact information with you during your trip.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tanzania Safari Packages from Norway

1. What is the time difference between Norway and Tanzania?

Tanzania is normally one or two hours ahead of Norway, depending on the season. During Norwegian winter, Tanzania is two hours ahead, while during Norwegian summer, the difference is one hour. This makes it relatively easy to communicate with your safari company when planning your holiday.

2. What currency should I bring from Norway to Tanzania?

The US dollar is widely accepted in Tanzania's tourism industry, especially for safari payments, hotels and some travel services. Norwegian kroner are not widely used for everyday purchases in Tanzania, so you can exchange money before travelling or use available currency exchange services. Tanzanian shillings are useful for small purchases and local expenses.

3. What clothes should I pack for a Tanzania safari?

Pack lightweight and comfortable clothes in neutral colours such as khaki, brown, green and beige. You should also bring a warm jacket for early morning game drives, comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat and insect repellent. A camera and binoculars are useful for wildlife viewing.

4. Is there internet and mobile network coverage during a Tanzania safari?

Most hotels and safari lodges offer Wi-Fi, although the connection may be limited in remote areas. Mobile network coverage is available in many towns and some national parks, but it can be weak in certain locations. You can purchase a local SIM card or an eSIM with a suitable data package.

5. Do people speak English in Tanzania?

Yes, English is widely spoken in Tanzania's tourism industry. Most safari guides, hotel staff and tour professionals communicate in English, making it easier for Norwegian visitors to enjoy their holiday. Swahili is the main local language, but you do not need to speak it to enjoy your safari.

6. Is tipping expected during a Tanzania safari?

Tipping is not compulsory, but it is a common way to appreciate good service from safari guides, hotel staff and other tourism workers. The amount depends on your satisfaction, the length of your safari and your budget. You can discuss suitable tipping guidelines with your safari company before travelling.

7. What time of day are animals most active during a Tanzania safari?

Early morning and late afternoon are generally good times for wildlife viewing because many animals are more active during cooler hours. Lions may be seen resting after hunting, while elephants, giraffes, zebras and other animals can be spotted moving around in search of food and water. Your safari guide will help plan game drives to make the most of these times.
