Tanzania Safaris – Frequently Asked Questions
Tanzania is one of Africa’s top safari destinations, offering unmatched wildlife experiences. Home to world-famous parks like the Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, and Selous (Nyerere) Game Reserve, Tanzania boasts the Big Five, the Great Wildebeest Migration, and breathtaking landscapes from mountains to savannahs and tropical islands like Zanzibar.
The best time for safari in Tanzania is during the dry season (June to October). This is when wildlife is easier to spot around waterholes and vegetation is sparse.
However, if you're interested in the Great Migration, different months offer different spectacles:
January–March: Calving season in southern Serengeti
June–July: River crossings in western Serengeti
August–October: Crossings in northern Serengeti
The green season (November–May) is also great for bird watching and fewer crowds.

The Big Five: Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo
