Tanzania Western Circuit
Tanzania Western Circuit Safari
Explore the hidden gems of the Western Circuit, where the allure lies in encountering chimpanzees amidst untouched landscapes. This circuit spans the serene parks lining Lake Tanganyika, bordering Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Its remote expanse beckons adventurers seeking authentic natural encounters.
Gombe Stream National Park gained renown through Jane Goodall’s groundbreaking research on its chimpanzee community, fostering their gradual acclimatization to human presence. Venture southward to Mahale Mountains National Park, nestled along the crystalline shores of Lake Tanganyika, for an even more immersive chimpanzee encounter. Here, amidst pristine wilderness, you’ll witness these remarkable creatures in their true habitat, far removed from the confines of feeding enclosures.
Katavi National Park awaits further southeast, a tranquil haven situated 150km from Mahale. Its secluded nature ensures an exclusive experience, with fewer than 500 visitors gracing its untouched terrain annually. Embark on a journey beyond the ordinary, where each step unveils the untamed beauty of Tanzania’s Western Circuit.

When's the Best Time For Tanzania Safari?
Determining the best time for a Tanzania safari largely depends on personal preferences and what you hope to experience. Generally, the dry season from June to October is considered prime safari time. During these months, the weather is dry, wildlife is more concentrated around water sources, and vegetation is less dense, making it easier to spot animals. Additionally, the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras occurs from June to August in the Serengeti, a spectacle drawing visitors from around the world. However, the wet season from November to May offers its own unique advantages, such as fewer tourists, lush landscapes, and the opportunity to witness the calving season in the southern Serengeti from January to March. Ultimately, the best time for a Tanzania safari depends on your preferences for weather, wildlife sightings, and crowd levels.
