When to Go on a Long Wildlife Safari?

Best Time for Safari

The best time for a long wildlife safari in Tanzania is during the dry season, from June to October. During this period, the weather is pleasant, and wildlife is more concentrated around water sources, making it easier to spot animals.

Seasonal Highlights

Dry Season (June to October): This is the peak safari season, with excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. The Great Migration typically occurs during this time, offering the chance to witness massive herds of wildebeest and zebras.

Green Season (November to May): While the green season can be wetter, it offers lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and unique wildlife experiences such as the calving season, when many animals give birth.
