Tanzania offers incredible wildlife viewing all year-round, but the best time depends on your adventure goals:
June to October (Dry Season) – Great for classic safaris, Big Five sightings, and clear hiking on Kilimanjaro.
November to March (Green Season) – Ideal for birdwatching, lush landscapes, and calving season in the Serengeti.
January to March – A great window for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with milder weather at higher altitudes.
Want to catch the Great Migration? We’ll guide you based on where the herds are moving.
