Best Time to Travel

When to see Tanzania's wildlife

Game viewing is good year-round, but each season tells a different story.

Season	Viewing	Conditions	Best For
Dry Season June – October	Peak	Excellent, animals gather at waterholes and foliage thins.	Great Migration river crossings in the north; reliable Big Five sightings.
Short Rains November	High	Good, with fresh green landscapes and fewer crowds.	Ideal for photography and a lush, revitalised bush.
Calving Season December – March	High	Strong, with newborn herds and intense predator action.	Wildebeest calving in the southern Serengeti around February.
Long Rains April – May	Low	Quieter, lush and green; some camps close.	Outstanding birdwatching and low-season value.

Peak = excellent viewing with large wildlife concentrations; High = very good; Low = lush green landscapes, fewer crowds and superb birdwatching. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed and remain unpredictable.
