SPECIAL TIPS FOR BETTER WILDLIFE SPOTTING ON SAFARI
Wildlife spotting is a great experience when taking a wildlife trip to any destination. Many people find it difficult to see as much wildlife, particularly their dream wildlife, due to a variety of factors, including the fact that animals in our parks and reserves move in their natural manner, and our parks are so diverse that there are no special signposts to follow in order to spot a specific animal. As a result, concluding a safari after seeing more animals than intended necessitates competence and professionalism.
Important resources required
- An Appropriate Tour operator with the best itinerary
Investigate the tour company and the itinerary they provide! Examine how much time you will spend in the national park for thorough game drives, how much time you will spend traveling from one location to another, and where your accommodations are booked whether they are inside the park or outside. Which national parks are included in your itinerary, and are they compatible with the seasonal movement of the animals, or are they only included to round out your safari days?
Tecomate Tours and Safari take all of these factors into account when designing the tour itinerary, and we go out of our way from start to finish to ensure that every aspect of your African Safari is as enjoyable as our mission. We are experts in designing the best itinerary with plenty of time spent exploring the park while keeping in mind that service provisions are based on a more-than-expected approach.
- A best Safari guide
A safari guide can make or break your safari experience. A knowledgeable guide is a valuable asset to your safari. Over time, guides develop a sixth sense, an instinctive knowledge of where and when to be. Tecomate Tours and Safaris has chosen the best safari guides who are special in transforming itineraries into the best experience and our guides are wildlife, customer service, and sustainability experts who work tirelessly to find out what is best for their clients.
- An Early morning Safari
Game drives in the early morning and late afternoon while on an African safari are the most productive in terms of sightings. Animals are most active during this time. This is known as the golden hours. However, the movement of animals in the parks is determined by Mother Nature, but Tecomate Tours and Safari strongly advise beginning game drives early in the morning. It is possible to depart from your accommodation with a breakfast box at 6:00 a.m. or shortly after a hot breakfast at 7:00 a.m. Tecomate Tours driver-guides know well the best timing for a game drive and are always available for you at any time during your Tanzania safari.
- Full-day game drives
“Spend as much time as you can go on game drives”. This theory is simple: the more time you spend looking for animals, the more likely you are to see them many. On some occasions, our guides will advise you to depart early with lunch boxes from accommodations. This enables full-day game drives and, in some cases, allows the guide to take you to special locations that may be further away. Tecomate Tours and Safaris does not count the hours and minutes of our clients’ game drives during safari; instead, we encourage long game drives to increase the likelihood of our clients enjoying their safari and our destinations. The only advantage of our game drive is that activity in Tanzania national parks is permitted every day from 6 am to 6 pm as per park regulations.
- The best Safari accommodations
The majority of Tanzania’s National Parks are vast, and animal movements are affected by the seasons. This is especially true during the Serengeti Wildebeest migrations. It is critical to stay in accommodations that take animal movement and location into account. Our booking and reservations team at Tecomate Tours and Safaris visits the accommodations we use and is very familiar with their suitability and accessibility to animals. Tecomate Tours chooses accommodations where we know clients will not drive a long distance to look for animals, and sometimes animals move close to the accommodations where we can have a close-to-nature experience.
- Be Patient Theory
Take your time, be patient, and enjoy the sights and sounds. Tecomate Tours and Safaris insist on this theory as it will end up being a rewarding experience for you. Allow time for your Tecomate Tours guide to explain and interpret. It is preferable for a guide to illustrate what you see in front of you rather than to explain a hypothetical scenario. In terms of wildebeest migration and river crossing, spotting this incredible action takes a lot of patience and luck. Wild animals cannot be forced to cross the river; they do so of their own free will. As a result, you must be patient along the river’s edge so that nature can reward you with the best.
- Best Safari vehicles
A safari vehicle is an essential component of a successful African safari. It really needs a well-customized safari vehicle to drive on bumpy roads in the National parks. It requires a vehicle with comfortable seats, large windows for photo shoots and sighting, a pop-up roof for easy game viewing from the top, and all necessary components in the event of an unforeseen emergency. Tecomate Tours and Safaris has selected the best vehicles for a hassle-free safari, and they are loved by many of our clients due to their comfort, space, equipment, and design, which are built to enhance safe travel and easy game viewing of wildlife.
