When is the best time to visit Tanzania?​

The best time to visit Tanzania depends on what you want to experience. Generally, the dry seasonsJune to October and December to February — are ideal for safaris and beach holidays. During these months, wildlife is easier to spot around waterholes, and the weather is pleasant for game drives and trekking. However, the green season (March to May) offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and lower prices — perfect for photographers and budget-conscious travelers.

A safari with Tanzania Specialist offers a personalized, luxury experience with expert local guides, high-quality 4×4 safari vehicles, and carefully selected accommodations. You’ll explore iconic parks like the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara, witnessing breathtaking wildlife including lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, and more. Every trip is tailored to your needs — from private safaris to family-friendly adventures and honeymoon escapes.

We specialize in tailor-made travel. You can customize your trip based on:

  • Your budget and travel dates

  • Preferred national parks and activities (e.g., hot air balloon safaris, walking safaris)

  • Accommodation type (budget, mid-range, luxury, or boutique lodges)

  • Special interests (photography, culture, birdwatching, wellness, etc.)

Our travel experts work closely with you to create a unique itinerary that matches your travel style.

Yes, Tanzania is one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. The Ngorongoro Crater is especially known for offering a high chance to see all five in one day. The Serengeti and Tarangire also provide excellent opportunities for spotting large herds of elephants, prides of lions, and elusive leopards.

Tanzania is considered one of the safest and most welcoming countries in East Africa for tourists. The people are friendly, and the main tourist areas are well-developed and secure. However, like any destination, we advise taking standard travel precautions: avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas, keep your valuables secure, and follow your guide’s advice. We also recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance before your trip.
