When is the best time to visit Tanzania?

A lot of tourists ask us when the best time is to go to Tanzania. There isn’t just one right answer. It depends on what you like, where you want to go, how much money you have, and what you want to see. This page tells you everything you need to know about the best times to visit Tanzania.

Dry Season (June to October and December to February): The nice weather and great chances to see wildlife make these months perfect for safaris and trips to the beach. You can expect hotel prices to go up and parks and sites to be busier, though.

Midseason, which lasts from March to November, is a good time to visit because hotel prices are average and there aren’t as many tourists. Even though the weather can change and some sites may not be open because of rain, you can still see a lot of wildlife and have a more relaxed safari experience.

The wet season, which lasts from April to May, is great for tourists on a budget because it’s when hotel prices are lowest and parks are least crowded. The heavy rains make the scenery bright and lush, but the weather can change your trip plans.

However, Mikumi is easy to get to because it is close to Tanzania’s biggest city. There are many kinds of animals in the park. It’s easy to see elephants, cows, zebras, and giraffes. You can also see lions mating and a lot of hippos in the park’s own pool.

Day 4 – 5: Ruaha National Park

There are three national parks in Tanzania, and Ruaha is the third biggest. It is on the Great Ruaha River and is famous for having a lot of elephants.

Day 6: Nyerere National Park

Today, you’ll explore the jungle, grassland, and river banks of Nyerere National Park, which used to be called the Selous Game Reserve. This is a great place to go on a game drive. Fewer people visit this park in southern Tanzania than the parks in the north, but it is home to elephants, hippos, crocodiles, lions, leopards, giraffes, the rare African wild dog, the endangered rhino, and more.

Elephants or alligators bathing can also be seen from time to time, and the many kinds of birds always make noise. On the trip, there will be an outdoor lunch by one of the lakes.
