Our itineraries are tailored to seasonal game movement patterns so wildlife viewing is excellent year round. So the best time to go on safari is really dependent on your interests, places you wish to visit and activities that you may want to do.

For example, if you love elephants and would like to see large herds, we recommend visiting Tarangire National Park in the height of the dry season from July to September when massive herds congregate around the Tarangire River. If you are interested in climbing Kilimanjaro prior to going on safari, we’ll suggest you avoid travelling in April and May when the long rains will make trekking difficult. If you’d like to see the wildebeest migration spread out across the Serengeti plains, we’ll recommend you travel in the green season stretching from December to April. Whatever month you travel, we will build your itinerary to ensure you’re located in the right parks and the right regions for best wildlife viewing.

If you plan on travelling during the high season (June – September, December – March), we suggest you book your safari as far in advance as possible, 8 to 12 months, in order to secure your preferred accommodations. We can book on short notice, however, your safari will be subject to availability of accommodations.

To start planning your safari, fill out our online inquiry form or email us at ommiraj@yahoo.com or call us at 255 784 478 510 (Tanzania time is GMT+3). We will respond to all inquiries promptly however due to time differences, there may be a 24 – 48 hour delay in email replies.

We request that your deposit to secure a reservation and the balance of safari payment be made in US dollars by wire transfer into Tanzania Game Drive Company's U.S. dollar bank account. Unfortunately we do not accept credit card payment at this time.

All deposits and payments received into the company’s bank account will be held on your behalf and we only disburse funds to the appropriate suppliers as necessary until such time we have completed delivering our services to you.

The flight between JRO and DAR is approximately about one hour.
