Timing is everything when planning a safari in Tanzania. Depending on what you want to see, different months offer unique experiences.
Dry Season (June to October)
This is the best time for general wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources. It’s also the peak time for the Great Migration in the northern Serengeti.
Short Rainy Season (November to December)
A great time for birdwatching and enjoying lush, green landscapes with fewer crowds.
Calving Season (January to February)
Witness the birth of thousands of wildebeest calves in the southern Serengeti, attracting many predators.
Long Rainy Season (March to May)
While some lodges close, this ‘green season’ offers the best rates and stunning photography opportunities.
