Heading into the savannah is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many travelers, but staying comfortable in such a new environment takes some preparation. From clothing and medications to practical travel tips, there’s a lot to consider. That’s why we created a comprehensive, all-seasons Safari Packing Guide to make packing easy and stress-free.
You won’t need bulky raincoats or rubber shoes — our pop-up roof Land Cruisers keep you covered in both dry and rainy seasons. Instead, the guide focuses on protection from sun, dust, insects, and chilly mornings. It also helps you prepare for the unique realities of Tanzanian safaris, like unpaved roads and limited connectivity in conservation areas. Still finalizing your plans? You'll find expert advice on personalizing your trip, choosing the right camps, and adjusting your itinerary as needed.
These are just a few of the topics covered in our Safari Packing Guide. Dive in and get ready for an unforgettable adventure.

Incredible, once in a lifetime experience thanks to this sensational company and our fabulous tour guide, Hussein!
We just did the most sensational 8 day safari! There were 6 of us (hubby and I, 2 adult kids and their partners). It was the most incredible experience. The accomodation was fantastic, varying from stunning hotels to camp tents (think glamping - with bathrooms, toiletries, electricity, charging stations, huge beds etc!). We had the best guide on the planet, Hussein, who was the loveliest, most informative, patient man! We saw the most incredible sights (all of the big 5!) thanks to him and his experience. He was always on hand, first thing in the morning, last thing at night, to make sure we were settled in and comfortable, and had all the info for the next day’s adventures. The vehicle held all 6 of us in reasonable comfort (no one can guard against the “African massage” with some of the roads!). There was always plenty of water and soft drinks in the vehicle, and plenty of food in our lunch boxes, and other meals. It was never a problem to stop for us when we had to “do the necessary”! The tour itself was well thought out, and covered some incredible areas. Sophie worked so well with us, helping plan our safari from the start, very patient with all our questions, and moving of dates, etc. There was fabulous communication from the company itself, checking in on us and making sure everything was going ok. They organised a birthday cake for our son at one of the hotels, which was such a lovely touch. There were great tips shared with us before we left (packing list etc), which was extremely helpful. Most helpful - neutral coloured clothes, INSECT SPRAY, wipes, hand sanitiser, sunscreen, to name a few. We found a power bank for cameras/phones was a life saver as we took so many photos. We all absolutely recommend Altezza and all associated with them! We’re so grateful they made the entire trip such a bucket list, once in a lifetime experience!
