When is the best time of year for a wildlife safari in Tanzania?
Anytime is a good time for a safari in Tanzania! That said, Tanzania does have a peak, shoulder, and off-season. Peak season and the best time for the Great Migration are June, July, August, and September when the wildebeests and zebras are crossing the Mara River into Kenya and back to Northern Serengeti. The off-season is usually during the rains, mid-October to mid-November, and April into May. Shoulder and off seasons are still good times for safari with fewer crowds and costs.
