Your safari to Tanzania would not be complete without visiting the renowned Serengeti National Park, the stage for the Great Migration. Driven and dictated by the rain, the Great Migration is regarded as the biggest overland event of its kind anywhere in the world with more than a million wildebeest, zebras and Thomson’s gazelles tempting fate in search of greener pastures. Following closely behind are predators like lions, hyenas, and crocodiles, all eager to stake their claim in this dramatic journey of life and death.
Tanzania boasts a variety of geographic extremes with incredible highs and lows thanks to the Great Rift Valley, a giant crack in the Earth’s crust. Tanzania is home to Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, and shares the continent’s deepest lake, Lake Tanganyika, and the largest lake, Lake Victoria. You’ll also find the highest concentration of big game anywhere in Africa within the Ngorongoro Crater.
The best time to visit Tanzania is during the dry season from June to October, when wildlife viewing is at its peak and the Great Migration river crossings occur in the northern Serengeti.
From January to March, the southern Serengeti hosts the calving season, which offers exceptional predator sightings.
The long rains (March–May) are the quietest time, while November–December brings short rains but excellent green-season scenery.

Due to its large size and location just south of the equator, Tanzania experiences significant climate variations across the country. Generally, the main rainy season, or the ‘long rains’, lasts from March to May. Afternoon tropical downpours are common, becoming heavier and more predictable near the coast and on the islands. The humidity is high and daily temperatures reach the low-mid 30 degrees Celsius.
The long dry season lasts throughout June, July, August, September, and October where rainfall is unusual, even on the islands. Temperatures vary hugely with altitude and location, but usually with a fine, clear sky and sunny weather, it’s a great time to visit Tanzania. During November and December, there’s another rainy season: known as the ‘short rains’, these are much lighter than the main rains and less predictable.
If it has rained during the short rains, then the months of January and February are expected to be dry. These months are Tanzania’s ‘short dry season’, before starting to rain again early in March.
Wear lightweight, breathable clothing in neutral colours (khaki, olive, brown).
Avoid black or dark blue, which attract tsetse flies.
Recommended items include:
A warm layer for early mornings
A wide-brimmed hat
Comfortable closed shoes
Sunglasses and sunscreen
A scarf/buff for dust
Swimwear for lodge pools
