The best time to visit Tanzania depends on the wildlife you want to see. Tanzania’s seasons are shaped by the rains, offering unique experiences throughout the year. The Great Migration, the country’s main attraction, happens year-round across the Serengeti. From July to September, large herds of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River, facing crocodiles and other predators—a dramatic spectacle that draws many visitors.
If you prefer a quieter experience, consider visiting during the “green season” from November to March. Although there are occasional rain showers, it’s the perfect time for birdwatching as thousands of migratory birds arrive. You can also witness the Great Migration herds with their newborn calves during this lush and vibrant time.
