The best time for a Tanzania safari is generally June to October, during the dry season when wildlife viewing is at its peak. During these months, animals gather around rivers and waterholes, making them easier to spot in destinations such as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara. Between July and September, visitors have the chance to witness one of nature’s greatest spectacles — the Great Migration river crossings, where thousands of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River in search of fresh grazing areas. For those interested in newborn wildlife, January to March is an excellent period to visit the southern Serengeti and Ndutu region, where the calving season takes place and predators are often active.
