    Best Time to Visit Tanzania

    Tanzania is a year-round destination, but each season offers something unique - from the Great Migration’s drama to lush green landscapes - ensuring unforgettable safaris whenever you choose to travel.

    January Safari

    January Safari

    Great Migration - River Crossings

    25–30 °C
    Short Dry Season

    Hot but dry, great for game drives and calving season in the southern Serengeti where wildebeest give birth.

    January Safari

    February

    25–30 °C
    Short Dry Season

    Still dry and hot, with fantastic wildlife action around Ndutu (calving continues). Photographers love the lush yet accessible landscapes.

    January Safari

    March Safari

    23–28 °C
    Start of Long Rains

    Afternoon showers become frequent, landscapes turn green, fewer tourists. Wildlife viewing less predictable but scenery is stunning.

    January Safari

    April Safari

    22–27 °C
    Long Rains (Peak)

    Heavy rains make some roads tricky. Lush vegetation but wildlife harder to spot. Best for solitude and discounted rates.

    January Safari

    May Safari

    22–27 °C
    Long Rains tapering off

    Rainfall decreases toward end of month. Green landscapes, migratory birds everywhere, and lodges often cheaper.

    January Safari

    June Safari

    20–26 °C
    Start of Long Dry Season

    Skies clear, grasses lower, wildlife easier to see. Beginning of the Great Migration northwards in Serengeti.

    January Safari

    July Safari

    18–25 °C
    Long Dry Season

    Peak safari month. Cool mornings/evenings. Wildebeest reach northern Serengeti; river crossings begin.

    January Safari

    August Safari

    18–25 °C
    Long Dry Season

    One of the very best months. Clear skies, abundant wildlife, dramatic Mara River crossings. Parks at their busiest.

    January Safari

    September Safari

    20–28 °C
    Long Dry Season

    Migration still in full swing; Tarangire Park teems with elephants. Dry bush concentrates wildlife at water sources.

    January Safari

    October Safari

    22–30 °C
    End of Dry Season

    Still excellent for game drives. Wildebeest begin moving south. Hotter, with chance of first short rains later in the month.

    January Safari

    November Safari

    23–30 °C
    Short Rains

    Afternoon showers green up the plains. Wildlife viewing still good, with fewer crowds. Great month for photographers.

    January Safari

    24–31 °C
    Short Rains

    Lush scenery, migratory birds, festive safari season. Wildebeest return south to Ndutu. Occasional showers but safaris still rewarding.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Tanzania Safaris

    The best time to visit Tanzania depends on what you’d love to experience – whether it’s the drama of the Great Migration, quiet moments in the wild, or the vibrant transformation of the landscape during the rains. Each season offers something special.

    Yes, most travelers will need a tourist visa to enter Tanzania. The good news is, getting a visa is easy, and there are two ways to do it:

    • Apply online (recommended)
    • Apply upon arrival at the airport in Tanzania

    In most cases, no. Tanzania is classified as low risk for yellow fever by the World Health Organization. If you are traveling directly from Europe, North America, or another non-risk country, you are not required to present proof of yellow fever vaccination upon entry.

    Tanzania safaris offer close encounters with the Big Five lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino plus giraffes, hippos, cheetahs, and the world-famous Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra. Bird lovers can also spot over 1,000 unique species.

    Yes, Tanzania is considered very safe for safari travel. At Hey Safaris, we work with experienced guides, reliable vehicles, and carefully selected lodges that follow strict safety standards. From airport pickup to game drives, every detail is planned so you can explore Tanzania’s wildlife with comfort and peace of mind.
