What are Tanzania Safaris like?

Tanzania is famous for its annual wildebeest migration. From Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve into the Serengeti National Park. Here both animal population and variety flourish. Plan your adventure safari tour in the months of July to November to see the migration in the North of the reserve and between December and March for the Southern area of the Serengeti.

Choose either a short safari or a longer overland trip for your Tanzania experience. Explore one of Africa’s greatest regions while in Tanzania. Highlights include the Ngorongoro Crater which is a dormant volcano, home to Africa’s Big Five.

Tanzania is also known for Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. ‘Kili’ as it is fondly known, is sought out by adventure enthusiasts around the world. A climb to the summit of this mountain is a huge feat and tops many bucket lists.

Budget Tanzania Safari Tours are available as well as luxury comfort options. Either way you will fall in love with magnificent Tanzania.

When is the best time for Tanzania Tours?

During the months of July and August the weather is cool. In the dry season parks such as Tarangire are at their prime. It is also the best time to visit the Serengeti on safari. December to mid March is the calving season in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater which is amazing game viewing.

If you are headed to Zanzibar, plan your trip around June to October as the temperature is around 28 degrees Celsius which is ideal for lazy beach days.
