Fitness and Mobility: Safaris involve long hours of travel over rough terrain. While most activities can accommodate various fitness levels, certain tours may include walking safaris or activities requiring physical stamina. Check with your tour operator to understand the physical demands of the itinerary.

Weather and Climate: Tanzania's climate varies significantly between regions and seasons. Pack accordingly for both warm days and cool evenings and be prepared for potential rain during the wet season (March to May).

Accommodation and Amenities: Accommodations in national parks and reserves range from luxurious lodges to tented camps. Clarify the level of comfort and amenities provided by your tour operator to ensure they meet your expectations.
