Good to know before you go.

From our local team

The essentials for safaris, seasons, the mountain, the coast and group travel, in one place.

Talk to our team
01Safari planningWhat makes a safari feel like yours?

The park names are only part of the plan. How long you stay, where you sleep, the distance between bases and the time you give each encounter all influence the experience. A safari should make sense as a whole journey, rather than a collection of busy days.

  • A first safari
  • Private journeys & special occasions
  • Families & friends
  • Photography & patient observation
  • A safari with room to rest
Explore safari planning
02SeasonsA different Tanzania through the year.

There is no single date that suits every journey. A wildlife interest, a climb and time by the sea may lead to different planning choices. Your available time, flexibility and priorities help us decide what to explore first.

  • June – October: Generally drier
  • November – March: A greener perspective
  • April – May: Plan around the rains
Read the seasonal planning guide
03KilimanjaroKilimanjaro starts with a considered plan.

A climb is a distinct part of a Tanzania holiday, with its own preparation, equipment and timing. The route name matters, but so does the full mountain schedule and the space you allow before and after it.

Understand the climb
04ZanzibarZanzibar, at a pace you can settle into.

The coast can be a journey in its own right or a change of rhythm after a safari. Zanzibar brings together beach time, Swahili heritage, historic Stone Town and opportunities to explore the Indian Ocean setting.

  • Find your kind of base
  • Explore beyond the beach
  • Connect safari and island time
Explore Zanzibar & the coast
05Your proposalA useful proposal goes beyond the highlights.

A good planning conversation makes the practical details easier to understand. Use your proposal to look at the route as a whole, ask questions and refine the arrangements before making a commitment.

  • Route & pace
  • Accommodation
  • Connections
  • Experiences
  • Scope & conditions
Start with your travel brief
06Groups & incentivesBring the group together around something meaningful.

A family gathering, a photography interest, a company retreat and an incentive programme need different kinds of planning. Start with the reason for travelling and the people involved, then build the experiences around that purpose.

  • Private groups
  • Special interests
  • Corporate & incentive travel

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before the
conversation.

More detail, less guesswork.

All questions
Who is Eastara Travel?

Eastara Travel is a destination management company with an experienced local team in Tanzania. We plan safaris, Kilimanjaro climbs, Zanzibar stays and group programmes for travellers and travel partners.

Can a journey combine safari and Zanzibar?

Yes. Wildlife and coastal experiences can be considered in one tailored proposal, with the sequence and connections discussed for your dates. Tell us how much time you would like to devote to each.

What if I don’t know where to start?

Share your available time, interests and preferred pace. Let us know what attracts you to Tanzania and what a good holiday feels like to you. Those details give the planning conversation a useful starting point.

Are the itineraries fixed packages?

No. They are starting points for discussion. Dates, accommodation, duration, services and any price are set out in an individual proposal rather than assumed from the website outline.

Can we travel as a family or private group?

Private group arrangements can be discussed around your ages, interests, rooming needs and practical requirements. Suitability for particular properties and activities is checked against the individual programme.

How do I choose a place to stay?

Start with its location in the itinerary, then consider the atmosphere, room configuration and facilities you need. Share what you enjoyed on previous holidays and the details that would make this stay comfortable for you.

Does Eastara work with travel professionals?

Eastara welcomes conversations with travel agents, tour operators and group organisers seeking Tanzania destination advice, itinerary development and ground coordination.

Does Eastara currently operate across East Africa?

Tanzania is our operational foundation. A broader East African offering is our expansion vision. Contact the team to discuss the destinations and arrangements currently possible for a regional enquiry.
