Tanzania Tour Packages from Bangalore

The Destination

Tanzania tour packages from Bangalore, for wildlife lovers and trekkers

Our Tanzania tour packages from Bangalore (Bengaluru) are designed for a city that already loves the outdoors. Many of our Bangalore guests have spent weekends in Kabini or Bandipur, and many have trekked in the Western Ghats or the Himalayas. Tanzania offers the next step for both: the Serengeti's open plains and the Great Migration, and Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain.

There is no non-stop flight from Bangalore to Tanzania, so we plan around one clean connection, usually through the Gulf into Kilimanjaro, or via Mumbai for the only non-stop flight between India and Tanzania. Trips are timed around Dasara and the year-end break, when most Bangalore professionals take their longest leave.

Getting There

Bangalore to Tanzania: airport, flight routes and transfers

Every Tanzania trip from Bangalore uses one connection. The right choice depends on whether you are flying into the safari parks, the coast or Zanzibar.

Bangalore (BLR) to Tanzania

Via Doha: late-night departures from BLR with onward flights to Kilimanjaro, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. A flexible all-round option.
Via Dubai: onward flights to Dar es Salaam, and to Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar on the Dubai low-cost carrier.
Via Abu Dhabi: a good option for Dar es Salaam.
Via Mumbai: a domestic flight to connect with the Air Tanzania non-stop to Dar es Salaam, which leaves Mumbai early in the morning.

Within Tanzania

Kilimanjaro / Arusha to the parks: road drives to Tarangire and Ngorongoro, and light-aircraft flights into the Serengeti.
Serengeti to Zanzibar: a light-aircraft or domestic flight via Arusha.
Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar: a 20-minute flight or a fast ferry.

Bangalore travel tips

Kempegowda International Airport is in Devanahalli, north of the city. From Hebbal or Yelahanka allow about 45 minutes; from Whitefield, Koramangala or Electronic City allow 1.5–2 hours in evening traffic.

If you connect via Mumbai for the Air Tanzania non-stop, fly up the evening before and stay near the airport, as the Dar es Salaam flight leaves before dawn.

Light aircraft in Tanzania usually allow about 15 kg per person in soft bags, including camera gear. Photographers often book an extra seat.

Your Holiday Calendar

Planning a Tanzania safari around Bangalore's holidays

Dasara holidaysLate September–October. Herds are usually in the northern Serengeti, with river crossings still possible. Book 5–6 months ahead.

Year-end breakDecember–January. Calving season begins in the southern Serengeti, and Zanzibar's beach season is at its best.

Karnataka summer holidaysApril–May. The long rains bring the lowest rates and green landscapes, though some camps close.

For Kilimanjaro, the drier months from late June to October and from January to early March usually offer the best summit conditions. For a month-by-month view, read our best time to visit Tanzania for a safari.

Tanzania Travel Tips for Indian Travellers

For Trekkers

Adding a Kilimanjaro climb to your Tanzania trip from Bangalore

Bangalore has one of India's most active trekking communities, and Kilimanjaro is a natural goal. At 5,895 metres it is Africa's highest peak, and it can be climbed without technical mountaineering skills. Kilimanjaro airport sits at the foot of the mountain, so a climb pairs easily with a safari.

Routes: Machame and Lemosho are popular for scenery and acclimatisation; Marangu offers hut accommodation
Time needed: six to eight days on the mountain, plus a rest day before your safari
Preparation: prior high-altitude treks, regular cardio training and a medical check-up

Climb first, safari after

We usually schedule the climb before the safari, so the game drives become a relaxed reward for tired legs.

Summit conditions are generally best in the drier months, from late June to October and from January to early March.

Start with our Tanzania safari guide to plan the safari half of the trip.

Good to Know

Tanzania packages from Bangalore: FAQs

How much do Tanzania tour packages from Bangalore cost?

Land packages start at around ₹1.8 lakh per person for a value safari, ₹2.5–3.5 lakh for mid-range and ₹4 lakh or more for luxury. With return flights from Bangalore, most travellers spend roughly ₹2.4–3.4 lakh on a value trip and ₹3.1–4.5 lakh on a mid-range trip.

Is there a direct flight from Bangalore to Tanzania?

No. There is no non-stop flight from Bangalore to Tanzania. Most travellers connect once in Doha, Dubai or Abu Dhabi, or take a domestic flight to Mumbai for the non-stop Air Tanzania service to Dar es Salaam. Total journey time is usually 10–15 hours.

Which airport should I fly into from Bangalore?

For the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire, fly into Kilimanjaro (JRO) near Arusha. For a safari and Zanzibar trip, we usually book you into Kilimanjaro and home from Zanzibar, so you do not backtrack.

Can I climb Kilimanjaro on a Tanzania trip from Bangalore?

Yes. Many Bangalore trekkers add a Kilimanjaro climb before or after a safari. Most routes take six to eight days on the mountain, and the Machame and Lemosho routes are popular for their scenery and acclimatisation. Prior high-altitude trekking experience helps.

How does a Tanzania safari compare with Kabini or Bandipur?

In Kabini and Bandipur you track leopards and tigers through forest on timed drives. In the Serengeti, lions, cheetahs and the migration herds are out on open grassland, drives can last all day, and the scale is far larger.

Do Indians need a visa for Tanzania?

Yes. Indian passport holders need a visa, best applied for online through the official Tanzania eVisa portal. A single-entry tourist visa costs around USD 50. Apply two to three weeks ahead. Zanzibar is covered by the same visa.

Do I need a yellow fever vaccine for Tanzania from Bangalore?

Not if you connect through Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Mumbai. You will need it if your routing includes a long transit in Nairobi or Addis Ababa, or if you combine Tanzania with Kenya. We confirm this based on your exact flights.

What is the best time for a Tanzania safari from Bangalore?

June to October is the dry season, with river crossings in the northern Serengeti from July to September. The December year-end break matches the start of calving season in the south. Karnataka summer holidays in April and May fall in the long rains, which bring the lowest rates.

Is Tanzania good for bird photography?

Excellent. Tanzania has more than 1,100 recorded bird species, and Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Serengeti are rich birding areas. A private vehicle gives photographers time and space for long lenses.

Are vegetarian and South Indian meals available in Tanzania?

Most lodges and camps prepare vegetarian and Jain meals, rice and dal and mildly spiced Indian dishes when told in advance, and Arusha, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar have Indian restaurants.

Is Tanzania safe for solo travellers and couples from Bangalore?

Yes, when travelling with a licensed operator and reputable lodges. Safaris are led by trained guides, camps are staffed around the clock, and we provide on-ground support throughout.

How do payments work for Tanzania packages from Bangalore?

Payments are made in INR through Indian banking channels. GST and TCS apply to overseas tour packages; TCS can be claimed against your income tax. A clear payment schedule is shared before you confirm.
