When to Experience This Tour!

The best time for this Tanzania safari Adventure is during the dry season, from June to October, when wildlife viewing reaches its peak. During these months, the Serengeti comes alive with the dramatic spectacle of the Great Migration as millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the plains, often followed by prowling predators. The dry conditions also draw animals to waterholes, making it easier to spot them in iconic parks like Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. For bird enthusiasts, the green season from November to May is equally captivating, with lush landscapes and vibrant migratory birds in abundance. Tanzania’s diverse offerings ensure that, no matter the time of year, every safari promises unforgettable moments in the heart of the wild.
