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.

    Some dose of history to ick-off your Zanzibar visit: When the Portuguese arrived in 1498, they found on the coast a series of independent towns, inhabited by Arabs, but not united to Arabia by any political tie. Their relations with these Arabs were mostly hostile, but during the sixteenth century they firmly established their power, and ruled with the aid of tributary Arab sultans. This system lasted till 1631, when the Sultan of Mombasa massacred the European inhabitants.
