Tanzania is a great place to visit for safaris all year round, which makes it stand out compared to other safari destinations. However, the best time to see wildlife is during the dry season from June to October, which is also when the wildebeest migration happens. During this period, the weather is drier, and animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot. Here’s a simple guide to help you choose the best time for your safari in Tanzania:

• January to March: A great time to see the Serengeti calving season, when thousands of wildebeest give birth.
• April to May: The wet season, with fewer tourists and green landscapes, but it can be harder to spot animals.
• June to October: The best time for safaris. The dry season offers excellent wildlife viewing, including the Great Migration crossings.
• November to December: The short rains start, but the landscape is still beautiful, and animals are easy to see.
