When to Go

Tanzania Seasonal Guide

June – October

Dry Season

The best overall time for wildlife — animals concentrate around water sources, vegetation is low and visibility is excellent. River crossings happen July–September.

November – December

Short Rains

Brief afternoon showers keep things green and lush. Excellent for birdwatching, great value lodge rates and far fewer tourists in the parks.

January – February

Calving Season

The wildebeest calving in southern Serengeti and Ndutu is one of nature's greatest events — predators gather in huge numbers for the feast.

March – May

Long Rains

Heavier rains bring out dramatic skies and incredible greenery. Some camps close but prices drop significantly and the parks are very quiet.
