    Planning & reference

    Torosei B offers an unparalleled sense of wilderness, a true escape from the crowds with its remarkable 1/5 crowding level. We love the feeling of having the vast plains to ourselves, especially during the dry season from June to October when game viewing is exceptional. The sunsets here are sensational, painting the sky in fiery hues that perfectly complement the raw beauty of the landscape, making every moment feel luxurious and timeless.

    Gate Times

    As a private conservancy, Torosei B generally operates with flexible gate times, often aligning with sunrise to sunset for game drives, typically 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We always recommend confirming specific lodge policies, as access is intrinsically linked to your booked accommodation. Permits are pre-arranged by your safari operator, so there is no need for on-the-spot purchases; ensure all bookings are confirmed well in advance.

    Tipping

    Tipping is customary and a valued gesture of appreciation for the dedicated staff. We suggest around $20-25 per guest per day for your safari guide, given their profound knowledge and tireless efforts. For general camp staff, a communal tip box is often available, where we recommend $10-15 per guest per day. If you engage with specific rangers for walking safaris, an additional $5-10 per day is appropriate. Always tip in USD or Tanzanian Shillings, and discreetly.

    Dress Code

    We advise wearing neutral colours like khaki, olive, brown, and grey to blend with the environment and avoid attracting insects. Layers are essential; mornings and evenings can be surprisingly cool, so a fleece or light jacket is a must, even in the dry season. For game drives and walks, long-sleeved shirts and trousers protect against sun and insects. Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes are paramount. We love the practical elegance of safari wear.

    Photography

    Photography is encouraged, but always with respect for wildlife and local communities. We recommend a telephoto lens for capturing incredible wildlife shots without disturbing the animals. Avoid using flash at night, as it can disorient nocturnal creatures. Drones are generally restricted and require special permits, which are difficult to obtain; assume they are not allowed unless explicitly confirmed by your operator. Patience is key for those truly sensational shots, especially during the golden hours of sunrise and sunset.

    Etiquette

    Safari etiquette ensures a harmonious experience for everyone. We insist on quiet observation during game drives; loud talking can disturb animals and fellow guests. Always remain inside your vehicle unless your guide explicitly instructs otherwise. Never attempt to feed or approach wildlife, as this can alter their natural behaviour and pose a danger. In camp, respect quiet hours, especially early mornings and late evenings, and be mindful of other guests' privacy. We believe in leaving only footprints.
