What is the best time for visiting Tanzania?

High Season (June to October & December to February):

These months are perfect for safaris and beach excursions, thanks to the pleasant climate and outstanding wildlife viewing. However, be prepared for elevated hotel prices and busier parks and attractions.

Mid Season (March & November):

This time strikes a balance with moderate hotel rates and fewer crowds. While the weather can be unpredictable and some attractions may have limited access due to rain, you can still enjoy excellent wildlife sightings and a more tranquil safari experience.

Low Season (April & May):

Ideal for those on a budget, the low season offers the most affordable hotel rates and the least crowded parks. Although heavy rains can impact travel plans, they also create a lush and vibrant landscape that enhances the beauty of your surroundings.

In the morning you will be collected from your hotel and after an approximate 2 hour drive you will arrive at the Tarangire National Park. The Tarangire National Park is considered as one of the best places to view elephants up close, not only because there are thousands of animals but also because they are not disturbed by the presence of vehicles. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras and wildebeests which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then but cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari vehicle you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon you will leave the park and drive to your accommodation to spend the night.

Day 4

Serengeti National Park

The entire day is dedicated to game viewing in the Serengeti National Park. The areas that you visit will depend upon where the migrating herds are. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return up north. As the migration is completely dependent on the yearly rainfalls, the location of the herds may vary from year to year but your guide will know where to locate the animals and where to see them best. You will spend a night at your selected accommodation.
