When is the best time to visit Tanzania?

Tanzania has a warm and consistent climate all year due to its proximity to the equator. During the day, temperatures range from 25°C to 32°C. Mornings and evenings can be cooler, but this depends on where you are and how high you are. When you should go to Tanzania is determined by the animals you want to see. The best time to see baby zebras and wildebeests is between December and February. However, if you want to see a variety of animals gathering around waterholes, June to October is the best time.

Tanzania is well-known for its wildlife, and when you visit, it can have a significant impact on what you see. From June to October, you can see the Great Migration, which involves millions of wildebeest and zebras crossing the Serengeti. It’s an incredible sight. December to February are the best times to see baby animals being born. From June to October, it is the best time to see many animals congregating at waterholes. Plan your trip for those months if you want to see the Great Wildebeest Migration.

Below is a month-by-month explanation of why you should visit Tanzania and go on a wildlife safari.

Visit Tanzania from June to October

The best time to see animals in Tanzania is from June to October. It’s the dry season, and animals come to waterholes, so you can see them better. It’s also great for bird watching because the plants aren’t too thick.

Visiting Tanzania from April to May

In April and May, the parks turn green, and you can see lots of animals. Be ready for weather that can change suddenly and lots of humidity, so bring clothes that dry quickly. Sometimes, rain can make it hard to get to some parks, but our guides can still give you a thrilling adventure.

Visiting Tanzania from November – December

November starts the short rainy season, but it’s a good time to visit because rates are lower. You can see migrating herds in the south of Serengeti. This is also when you can watch baby animals being born and see predators in action. The landscape is green and beautiful, and it’s less crowded.

Visiting Tanzania from January to March

This is the best time to see wildebeest migration in the Ndutu area. The wildebeests follow the rain and the new grass that grows. Ndutu has special grass that’s full of nutrients, which helps animals during birth. In February, there’s a peak in baby animals being born, and you can watch predators hunting them. It’s a beautiful natural show.
