Tanzania offers incredible wildlife and adventure experiences year-round, but the best time to visit depends on what you want to see and do.
Best Time for Wildlife Safaris
- June to October (Dry Season) – The best time for game viewing as wildlife gathers around water sources. The Great Migration river crossings in the Serengeti occur between July and September. Clear skies and fewer mosquitoes make this a great travel window, though it is also the peak tourist season.
- January to March (Calving Season) – This is when thousands of wildebeest give birth in the Serengeti, attracting predators and offering excellent wildlife viewing.
Best Time for Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro
- January to March & June to October – These months offer dry conditions, making for a more comfortable and safer trek. June to October has clearer skies and cooler temperatures.
Best Time for Budget Travelers
- March to May (Green Season) – This period sees fewer tourists, lower prices, and lush landscapes. While some roads may be harder to access due to rains, it’s a fantastic time for photographers and budget-conscious travelers.
