When is the best time to visit Tanzania for safari
Tanzania is well known for its world’s largest wildlife migration and a high concentration of big cats like lions, cheetahs and leopards. The wildlife migration referred to as “the annual Wildebeest migration” is an annual movement of a large group of animals of about 2 million, the largest wildlife being the wildebeest some zebras and gazelle that move from Serengeti National Park northwards to Masai Mara National Park and back to Serengeti. This migration is one of the prime attractions of Tanzania alongside the idyllic white sand beaches of the Zanzibar Archipelago.
When to go
July to September is prime time to witness huge herds of wildebeest and zebra crossing the Mara River, you’ll see lots of vehicles in the park at this time of year, though.
Tanzania’s ‘green season, between November and March, is much quieter. While there’s a chance of rain showers, it’s a fantastic time for bird watching as migratory species arrive in their thousands. You’ll also see Great Migration herds with their newly born calves in Serengeti which attracts a lot of predators.
The only time you might want to avoid Tanzania is between April and May when heavy rains can disrupt wildlife viewing.
