Climate & Times to Travel Tanzania offers year-round safari opportunities, each season with its own magic. Dry Season (June – October): Best wildlife viewing, Great Migration river crossings. Warm days, cooler mornings and evenings. Green Season (November – March): Lush landscapes, birdlife, wildebeest calving in Ndutu. Expect occasional showers. Long Rains (April – May): Some camps close, but prices are lower and landscapes beautifully dramatic. Pack light layers — mornings and evenings on safari can be chilly while midday brings warm sunshine. Wildlife Highlights Tanzania is one of the world’s greatest wildlife destinations, where every region tells a different Insider Tip:

story. On the Serengeti plains, the Great Migration sees over a million wildebeest and zebra on the move, their river crossings among safari’s most dramatic moments. In the Ngorongoro Crater, lions, elephants, and flamingos thrive in a natural amphitheater unlike anywhere else on Earth. Beyond the Big Five, Tanzania reveals endless surprises: cheetahs perched on termite mounds, giraffes silhouetted against the horizon, or rare wild dogs coursing across open plains. Birdlife dazzles too, with rollers, eagles, and great flocks of flamingos. In the green season, Ndutu transforms into a nursery as thousands of calves are born, while in remote Mahale forests, chimpanzees add a rare and unforgettable dimension. Here, every game drive carries the promise of discovery — whether it’s a lion’s roar at dawn, elephants at a waterhole, or a quiet giraffe grazing near your camp.
