1: Dry Season (June to October):

• • This is generally considered the best time to visit Tanzania for wildlife viewing, especially in popular parks like Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.
  • The weather is dry and relatively cooler, making it more comfortable for safari activities.
  • The Great Migration of wildebeest and other animals occurs in the Serengeti during these months, offering a unique wildlife spectacle.
  • 

2: Green Season (November to May):

• • Also known as the “short rains” and “long rains” seasons, this period sees occasional rainfall, but the landscapes are lush and green.
  • The green season is a great time for birdwatching, as migratory birds arrive in Tanzania during this time.
  • Accommodation prices may be lower during this season, and there are fewer tourists in popular parks, offering a more exclusive safari experience.
  • 

3: Shoulder Seasons (March to May and November):

• • These months fall between the peak tourist seasons and can offer a good balance of wildlife viewing opportunities and lower visitor numbers.
  • March to May is the peak of the long rainy season, so it’s important to be prepared for rain if visiting during this time.
  • November can be a good time to witness the wildebeest migration moving back to the southern Serengeti from the Masai Mara in Kenya.
  • 

3: Beach Season (June to October):

• • The dry season also coincides with the best weather for beach vacations in Zanzibar and the Tanzanian coast.
  • The ocean waters are clear and calm, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and diving.
  • This is an excellent time to combine a safari with a beach holiday, enjoying the best of Tanzania’s wildlife and coastal attractions.
  • 

Ultimately, the best time to visit Tanzania depends on your preferences, budget, and desired activities. Whether you’re interested in wildlife safaris, cultural experiences, or beach getaways, Tanzania offers something for every traveler throughout the year.
