When Should You Visit Tanzania?
Tanzania offers incredible wildlife viewing year-round, but certain seasons provide exceptional experiences depending on what you want to see.
Dry Season (June - October)
The dry season is considered the best time for safari in Tanzania. During these months:
- Animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot
- Vegetation is thinner, improving visibility
- The Great Migration reaches the Serengeti
- Weather is pleasant with minimal rainfall
Wet Season (November - May)
The wet season, also known as the "green season," offers its own advantages:
- Fewer tourists and lower prices
- Lush, green landscapes perfect for photography
- Bird watching is exceptional with migratory species
- Calving season in the Serengeti (January - March)
The Great Migration
If witnessing the Great Migration is your priority, plan your visit between July and October when millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River in the northern Serengeti.
Pro Tip: Book your safari at least 6 months in advance during peak season to secure the best accommodations.
