Everything you need to know about planning your Tanzania safari
The best time to visit Tanzania for a safari is during the dry seasons: June to October (cooler, great wildlife viewing) and January to February (hot, excellent for game drives). The wet season (March-May, November-December) offers lush scenery and lower prices.
A typical Tanzania safari ranges from 3-10 days. Short safaris (3-4 days) focus on one or two parks like Serengeti or Ngorongoro. Extended safaris (7-10 days) combine multiple destinations including Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar, and more.
