EXPLORE TANZANIA SAFARIS →When Is the Best Time for a Big Five Safari?
Tanzania offers wildlife experiences throughout the year. The character of your safari changes with the seasons, so your ideal travel period depends on the landscapes, wildlife and experiences you want to include.
Dry Season
The dry months are a popular period for safari, with generally drier conditions and wildlife often easier to observe around remaining water sources.
Green Season
Landscapes can become greener and more vibrant, with seasonal wildlife activity and excellent opportunities for photography and birdwatching.
Flexible Safari Planning
A Big Five safari can be planned in different seasons. We can shape the route around your available dates, interests and the destinations you want to explore.
GOOD TO KNOW: Wildlife movements are seasonal and conditions vary between parks. Your safari route can therefore be adjusted to match the time of year and the experience you are looking for.
