When is the best time to go on a wildlife safari in Tanzania?

The best time for a wildlife safari in Tanzania varies by destination and by the travel experiences offered by a trusted, licensed local tour operator, Tanzania Natural Tours. In Serengeti National Park, January to March is the best time for the wildebeest calving season, while the dry season offers excellent wildlife viewing and opportunities to witness the Great Migration. In Ngorongoro Crater, wildlife viewing is rewarding year-round, especially for spotting the Big Five. In Tarangire National Park, the dry season is the best time for seeing large elephant herds gather near the Tarangire River. In Lake Manyara National Park, the dry season is an ideal time for game drives, while the green season offers beautiful scenery and outstanding birdwatching. Tanzania Natural Tours can help you select the best time for wildlife viewing, arrange guided game drives and comfortable accommodations, and combine these four iconic national parks into an unforgettable Tanzania wildlife safari tailored to your interests and budget.
