When to go
Best Time to Visit Tanzania
Tanzania is a year-round destination, but the best time depends on what you want to experience.
- June to OctoberDry season
- Animals gather near water and the grass is short, so game viewing is at its easiest. It’s also the busiest time in the parks.
- January to MarchCalving season
- The wildebeest herds calve on the short-grass plains around Ndutu in the southern Serengeti, and the predators follow them.
- April, May and NovemberGreen season
- Expect afternoon rain, fewer vehicles and lower lodge rates. Some remote camps close in April and May.
