Frequently Asked Questions About Tanzania Safari Tours

Tanzania offers rewarding wildlife experiences throughout the year. The dry season, from June to October, is popular for general wildlife viewing due to shorter grass and higher animal concentrations around water sources. The Great Migration follows a seasonal cycle, with calving season in the southern Serengeti typically between January and March, and river crossings in the north usually occurring between July and October. The best time for you depends on what you wish to experience.
