When Is the Best Time
for a Family Safari?
Tanzania offers wildlife experiences throughout the year. The best time for your family depends on the destinations you choose, your travel dates, weather preferences and the kind of wildlife experience you want to enjoy.
Dry Season
The dry season is a popular period for safari travel. Vegetation can be less dense in many areas, and wildlife may gather around available water sources, creating opportunities for game viewing.
Green Season
The green season brings fresh vegetation, greener landscapes and seasonal wildlife activity. Depending on the destination, this period can also offer opportunities to experience the migration and calving season.

Families can travel at different times of the year. We can help match your dates with destinations and experiences while considering your preferred pace, interests and family schedule.
