What is the best time to go on a safari in Tanzania?
The best time to visit Tanzania for a safari depends on what you want to experience:
June to October: Ideal for wildlife viewing and the Great Migration in the Serengeti. The weather is dry, and animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot.
January to March: This is the calving season in the southern Serengeti, where you can witness newborn animals and predator-prey interactions.
April and May: While these are part of the rainy season, lodges offer discounted rates, and the landscapes are lush and green.
