Total Days: 9 DAYS
The best time to go to Tanzania is during the dry season, when wildlife viewing is at its best and travel conditions are most comfortable. This generally runs from June to October and is considered the prime time for safaris and beach holidays.
From June to October, rainfall is minimal, temperatures are pleasant, and animals congregate around rivers and water sources, making game viewing in places like the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire excellent. This period also coincides with the Great Migration river crossings in the northern Serengeti, particularly from July to September, making it a peak season for visitors.
Another very good time to visit is January to March. These months are warmer and greener, with fewer tourists than mid-year. This is the calving season in the southern Serengeti, when thousands of wildebeest give birth, attracting predators and creating dramatic wildlife encounters. It’s also a good time for photography and for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.
The months to avoid are April and May, which fall in the long rainy season. Heavy rains can make roads difficult, some camps close, and wildlife viewing becomes more challenging. November brings short rains, which are usually lighter and more sporadic, and while travel is still possible, conditions can be unpredictable.
