Best Time to Visit Tanzania
The best time to visit Tanzania for a Tanzania safari depends on the specific experiences you seek, as the country’s diverse landscapes and wildlife offer something unique year-round. However, for optimal game viewing, particularly for those interested in witnessing the Great Migration and encountering the Big Five, certain periods stand out.
June to October: The Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras is in full swing in the Serengeti
The dry season, from June to October, is widely regarded as the best time to visit Tanzania for a safari. During these months, the weather is generally sunny and dry, with cooler temperatures, making it ideal for wildlife viewing. The scarcity of water forces animals to congregate around remaining water sources, making them easier to spot. This period is also when the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras is in full swing in the Serengeti, offering spectacular viewing opportunities, especially during river crossings.
November to March: This season is also the best time for birdwatching, as migratory birds arrive
The green season, from November to March, is another excellent time to visit Tanzania for a safari. Although there may be short rains in November and December, and longer rains from March to May, the landscape becomes lush and vibrant, providing a stunning backdrop for wildlife photography. This season is also the best time for birdwatching, as migratory birds arrive, and many resident species are in breeding plumage. The calving season, which occurs from late January to February, is a highlight as thousands of wildebeest give birth, attracting predators and offering dramatic predator-prey interactions.
April to May: The parks are less crowded, and the rain brings new life to the landscapes
While April and May are typically considered the low season due to the heavy rains, this period can still be rewarding for a Tanzania safari. The parks are less crowded, and the rain brings new life to the landscapes. Some lodges and camps offer significant discounts during this time, making it a budget-friendly option. However, the rains can make some roads and trails difficult to navigate, and wildlife may be more dispersed.
