Best Time to Visit Tanzania for Safari and the Great Migration

Tanzania offers incredible safari experiences year-round, but timing your visit can make the difference between a good safari and an extraordinary one. The Great Migration, where over two million wildebeest and zebras move across the Serengeti, is best witnessed between June and October when the herds are in the northern Serengeti. The dry season (June-October) is generally considered the best time for wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources. However, the green season (November-May) offers lush landscapes, newborn animals, and fewer crowds at significantly lower prices.
