Best Time for Tanzania Safari
Tanzania is a year-round safari destination, but the best time depends on where you want to go and what you want to see. Since our Tanzania Safari Itineraries include both the Northern and Southern Circuits, here’s how the seasons unfold across each region:
June – October: Peak Wildlife & Dry Season Magic
Northern Circuit – This is prime time for the Great Migration in the Serengeti, especially river crossings in July and August. The Ngorongoro Crater offers dense wildlife viewing as animals gather around scarce water sources, while Tarangire’s famous elephant herds are at their largest.
Southern Circuit – Selous/Nyerere and Ruaha shine during this period as rivers shrink, drawing huge concentrations of animals into view. Dry conditions make for excellent walking safaris and boat trips with clear sightings.
Why choose this season: Less vegetation, higher visibility, and dramatic wildlife action make it perfect for photographers and first-time safari-goers.
November – March: Green Season & Calving Wonders
Northern Circuit – The short rains bring fresh grass, and with it, the Serengeti’s calving season (January–February) when over 500,000 wildebeest are born. Predators are very active, making for thrilling game drives. Ngorongoro’s scenery is at its most lush, with fewer vehicles on the roads.
Southern Circuit – The landscapes in Ruaha and Nyerere transform into a rich, green paradise with migratory birds in abundance. While wildlife may be slightly more dispersed, the atmosphere feels wilder and more remote.
Why choose this season: Ideal for travelers seeking fewer crowds, dramatic predator-prey moments, and vibrant landscapes.
April – May: Quiet Beauty & Great Value
Northern Circuit – This is the long rains, so some areas may be harder to access, but the parks are empty and incredibly beautiful. Lodges often offer lower rates, and photographers love the soft light and moody skies.
Southern Circuit – Many camps close during these months due to heavy rains, but for adventurous travelers, it’s a rare chance to see Tanzania in full bloom.
Why choose this season: Perfect for budget-conscious or photography-focused travelers who don’t mind occasional showers.
Bottom line:
Whether you want the drama of a predator chase, the serenity of green landscapes, or the intimacy of low-season travel, our Tanzania Safari Itineraries can be tailored to match the season — and your style of adventure.
