When to go
Season-by-season Tanzania safari guidance.
April and May
Long rains bring colour, fewer visitors and potential value, but some remote camps close and road conditions may be difficult.
June to October
Classic dry-season viewing strengthens around permanent water. Demand and pricing are usually highest, so room category and location should be secured early.
November and December
Short rains refresh the landscape and migratory birding improves. Serengeti herd movements respond to actual rainfall rather than a fixed calendar.
