When is the best time to visit Southern Tanzania?
The dry season from June to October offers the finest game-viewing, as wildlife concentrates around the rivers and waterholes. The green season (November to March) is lush and superb for birding, photography and lower rates. We tailor timing to your priorities.
Why choose the south over the famous northern circuit?
The south, Nyerere, Ruaha, Katavi and Mahale, delivers a wilder, more exclusive safari with a fraction of the visitors, plus experiences the north cannot offer such as boat safaris and chimpanzee trekking. We also arrange Northern add-ons when you wish to see both.
Are your safaris fully tailor-made?
Every HHM Wildlife Safaris journey is designed from scratch around you, your pace, interests, budget and the people travelling. There are no fixed departures; you simply tell us what moves you and we craft it.
Is it possible to combine a safari with Zanzibar?
Absolutely. The southern parks pair beautifully with the beaches and spice-island culture of Zanzibar, making for an ideal bush-and-beach finale. Short flights connect the two seamlessly.
How do you approach safety and sustainability?
We work only with trusted camps and professional guides, and weave conservation and community benefit into every itinerary, because protecting these wild places is the reason we exist.
