When To Visit Tanzania
When To Visit Tanzania
The Best Time to Visit Tanzania is during the dry season, from late June to October, when wildlife viewing is optimal due to the sparse vegetation and animals gathering around water sources. This period is ideal for safaris in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
The Great Migration, a highlight for many visitors, typically peaks in July and August. For climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, January to March and June to October are the preferred months due to more favourable weather conditions. The coastal regions, including Zanzibar, are best visited during the dry season for perfect beach conditions and clear, warm waters for diving and snorkeling.

Best Month to Visit Tanzania
This period marks the end of the short rainy season. While some showers may occur, game viewing is still excellent. It’s also the calving season for wildebeest, offering unique wildlife encounters.
This is the long rainy season, making safari conditions challenging. However, the landscape is lush, and there are fewer crowds.
The dry season is peak tourist season due to optimal game viewing conditions. Expect clear skies and comfortable temperatures. This is also the time for the Great Migration.
The short rains begin, but the weather is generally sunny. Game viewing remains good, and crowds are smaller compared to the peak season.

Our Travellers Reviews
Outstanding tour operator
I can't say enough good things about Bryson and Petit Maasai. Bryson handled our last-minute trip to Tanzania like he'd been working on it for months instead of a handful of days after we connected about a week before our family arrived.
Awsome
Exciting trip!!! Bryson made a private tour with masai mbome & we had a rest in mountains near Ngorongoro - everything was awsome!!! Morevover, all of our individual things we re made with great discount!Mike is great ranger too!
Kilimanjaro With Petit Maasai safaris- 5 stars!!!
We book 7 days Kilimanjaro with Petit Maasai safaris after having the safari with another company and we made it with a brilliant guide to the summit. We took the Lemosho route, starting in the rain forest and approached the camp via various tents campsites.
A great experience!
We did a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania with Petit Maasai Safaris and it was a great experience! The guide and the cook were really professional and nice with us, trying to make us feel comfortable and to satisfy our requests. Thanks a lot!
