A guided tour typically lasts 2 to 4 hours, depending on your interests, pace, and how much you want to soak in. Here’s what a typical experience looks like:
Bananas are a big deal here. You’ll walk through lush, green plantations where local farmers grow dozens of banana varieties — for eating, brewing, cooking, and selling. Your guide will explain how bananas fuel the local economy and how nothing from the plant goes to waste.
Feeling adventurous? You might get to sample traditional banana beer, brewed on-site in small batches by local women. It’s a slightly sour, earthy beverage — and an essential part of celebrations and rituals in several Tanzanian tribes.
From Makonde woodcarvers to painters, basket weavers, and tingatinga artists, Mto wa Mbu is bursting with creative energy. You’ll stop by workshops where you can watch artisans at work, ask questions, and even try your hand at a few traditional techniques.
Some tours include a home-cooked Swahili meal served in a family’s home or outdoor kitchen. Expect rice, beans, spiced vegetables, ugali (a maize porridge), grilled plantains, and maybe even goat stew — all made from fresh, local ingredients.
As you explore on foot or by bike, you’ll pass bustling markets, mud-brick homes, churches, schools, and smiling kids eager to say “Jambo!” It’s an authentic peek into daily Tanzanian life — unfiltered and welcoming.

Generally, Tanzania is best to visit in the dry-season months of July – October when the parks are dry and wildlife viewing is dramatic, easy, and action-packed.
However, there are pros and cons to every time of year so it is definitely worth calling to discuss. For example, June and October/November are marvelous shoulder season months, where you get amazing wildlife but for a third of the price than in the peak season with special offers and low season rates.
Ngorongoro is amazing year round – it is not very big, and so the animals can’t widely disperse when there is plentiful grass and water. February is the very best time to see the Great Migration as the wildebeest congregate in the southern plains’ during calving season.
The parks of Southern Tanzania are classically dry-season parks so definitely best from July – October. Outside these months, the wildlife can be trickier to find than in Northern Tanzania.
As Ruaha and The Selous are relatively low land compared to northern Tanzania, they are affected a bit more by the rains. The Selous is closed from mid-March to the end of May, as the camps are inaccessible when it has been very wet. Ruaha is also mostly closed at this time of year too.
Both October and November can be very hot in the Selous which is worth noting if you are not a fan of high temperatures.
