This period is considered the best time for safaris in Tanzania. The weather is generally dry, and wildlife congregates around water sources, making animal sightings easier, especially in popular parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The Great Wildebeest Migration typically occurs between June and August in the Serengeti, a spectacle worth witnessing.

This time offers good wildlife viewing, and it’s often less crowded than the peak dry season. This period might be great for those who want fewer tourists but still good game viewing.

Also known as the ‘Emerald Season’, this is the wetter time of the year. The landscapes are lush and green, and it’s the birthing season for many animals. While wildlife might be more dispersed due to abundant water sources, it’s a fantastic time for bird watching and the scenery is stunning. Additionally, accommodation tends to be more affordable during this time.
