Planning a safari to Tanzania? Timing is everything when it comes to wildlife viewing and weather conditions. Here’s our comprehensive guide to help you choose the perfect time for your African adventure.

Dry Season (June to October)

The dry season is considered the best time for wildlife viewing in Tanzania. Animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot. The weather is pleasant with minimal rainfall and clear skies perfect for photography.

Great Migration Timing

If witnessing the Great Migration is your priority, plan your visit between July and September when millions of wildebeest cross the Mara River. This spectacular event is one of nature’s greatest shows.

Green Season (November to May)

The green season offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and lower prices. While there’s more rainfall, it’s usually in short afternoon bursts, leaving plenty of time for game drives.
