WHEN IS THE BEST TIME FOR SAFARI IN TANZANIA?

Best Time for Safari in Tanzania

Tanzania is welcoming all-round the year and the safari parks are good for most of the year. As the east African country lies close to the equator the weather doesn’t have the characteristic four seasons but is limited to just two seasons- Dry season and Wet seasons. While the dry seasons are always good for game viewing the wet season also unleashes a different side of the safari havens. This is considered to be the Best Time for Safari in Tanzania. All the parks on the northern circuit are good for viewing around the year, the Southern and Western circuit parks are best visited in the dry season. Alpine chat adventure we recommend to start Tanzania Safari Tours with knowing the best time, season, and month to visit Tanzania.

The Serengeti National park and Ngorongoro Crater offer good year-round wildlife viewing. The months of July to October are the best time to witness wildebeest river crossings on the northern side of Serengeti National Park. And December to March is the best month to see the wildebeest calving.

Altogether, Tanzania Safari Tours are good all-year-round activities. However, we advise you to contact us info@alpinechatadventure.com  when considering visiting Tanzania Safari between April and May for our expertise to advise you on the best places to visit during this time following the rains. While planning for Tanzania Safari Holidays, you should consider booking with Alpine chat adventure. We offer the best Tanzania Safari Packages suitable for every budget.

THE BEST TIME TO GO TO TANZANIA

The Best Time for Safari in Tanzania can be divided into the different activities you prefer to do.

·       For Wildlife Lovers:

For the wildlife lovers the Best Time to Visit Serengeti is definitely the dry season.

·       For the birdwatchers:

For the birdwatchers the period between December and March is probably one of the best times of the year.

·       For Beach Lovers:

If you are a beach lover and are wondering - When to go to Tanzania on Safari, the dry season is the best possible time. Zanzibar is quite humid compared to the national parks during the rainy seasons

·       For Hikers:

In the most common Tanzania Safari question, we are often asked about the best time to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. The best possible period is June to September. It is the most preferred period as the weather is usually good and less rain makes the routes less slippery and easy to climb. The scenic view during this period is simply attractive.

January-February- The short rain period has just receded and the landscapes are nourished and overflowing with a saturation of greens. Migratory birds are in full flight and the calving season is in full swing in Southern Serengeti.

March-May- Its wet season and the rains come down in torrents. Animals disperse rendering the parks desolate and the trails of Kilimanjaro are wet and soggy.
