Questions

Tanzania can be visited year-round. The best timing depends on your plans — safari, beaches, Kilimanjaro, or a combination. The dry season (June–October) offers the best wildlife viewing, while December–February is ideal for Zanzibar beaches and the Serengeti calving season. March–May is the green season — fewer crowds, lower rates and lush landscapes.

We recommend a minimum of 7–10 days. A typical split is 4–5 days on safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) followed by 4–5 days of beach relaxation on Zanzibar. This gives you time to acclimatise, enjoy game drives and truly unwind by the ocean.

The Great Migration is a year-round movement, but the classic river crossings in the northern Serengeti (Kogatende) typically occur from July to October.
