Tanzania is home to some of the most diverse wildlife in the world. You can expect to see the “Big Five”: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros – especially in places like Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. However, certain animals are more seasonally dependent. For example, the Great Migration in the Serengeti can be seen in certain months. Our guides know where to find the best sightings for each season.

The best time to visit Tanzania for a safari generally depends on what you’re hoping to experience.

  • Dry Season (June – October): This is considered the best time for game viewing as animals congregate around waterholes, and the landscape is dry, making wildlife easier to spot.
  • Green Season (November – April): While it’s wetter during this period, it’s ideal for bird watching, and the landscapes are lush and beautiful. You’ll also have fewer tourists, making it a more intimate experience.
    For the Great Migration, the best time is typically between June and September when the wildebeest herds move across the Serengeti-Mara ecosystems.

Tanzania offers a range of accommodation options to suit different preferences and budgets. You can stay in luxurious lodges, comfortable mid-range hotels, or even intimate tented camps.

Tanzania’s culture is warm, welcoming, and diverse. When visiting local communities, it’s important to be respectful of their customs and traditions.

Visa requirements vary depending on your nationality. Some countries require a visa to enter Tanzania, while others may be eligible for a visa on arrival.
