Luxuriously planning your Tanzanian safari? We have our 6-day Luxury Safari right here for you. But what’s the best time to plan? One that won’t compromise game sightings and still takes care of your luxury experience.
Check out this guide for the best time of the year for a 6-Day Luxury Safari.
Why Tanzania Is One of Africa’s Best Luxury Safari Destinations
Tanzania boasts some of the world’s most famous safari locations, such as:
- Serengeti National Park
- Ngorongoro Crater
- Tarangire National Park
- Lake Manyara National Park
- Ruaha National Park
- Nyerere National Park
- Kilimanjaro Mountain
- Zanzibar Island
All of these places combined provide one of the best wildlife tours in the world, thus making Tanzania the ideal place for a luxury safari tour for anyone.
Each scenery is unique and provides a different story. That’s why traveling outside the peak seasons can help you have a hassle-free tour.
Peak Dry Seasons (June to October)
June to October marks the peak tourism season in Tanzania. At this time, it is dry season in the country, making it feasible for clear scenery viewing and wildlife sightings across national parks and forests. If your dream includes seeing the Big Five, this is the best time.
The best experiences are:
- Outstanding wildlife viewing
- Big Five safaris
- Comfortable temperatures
- Clear blue skies
- Luxury tented camps at their finest
Calving Season (January to March)
January to March is significant because of the calving season; millions of wildebeests experience it. As the migrating animals travel from northern to southern Tanzania, this is when they give birth to newborns. View thousands of newborn wildebeests, zebras, and antelopes giving birth to calves in the southern Ndutu Plains.
The best experiences are:
- High-action hunting and predator action.
- Slightly quieter atmosphere than peak months.
- Warm, sunny weather pattern before the rains arrive.
Tanzania Safaris: Wet Season vs Dry Season
Our 6-Day Luxury Safari is best for both peak and dry seasons. However, in wet seasons (April and May), the Tarangire National Park tour included in this package can give a unique view. The lush, green landscapes can add aesthetic appeal to the scenery and make it the best time for birdwatching and photography.
Whereas the dry season offers wildebeest migration scenes from the northern to the southern Serengeti. With clear skies, easy travel, and better wildlife viewing, the dry season is the popular choice for tourists. However, if you are expecting a quieter luxury, that’s debatable in the peak season.
Best Activity in All Seasons
What’s more spectacular than the Great Wildebeest Migration. Known as the Greatest Show on Earth, this migratory phenomenon is listed as one of the seven wonders of the world.
About 1.5 million wildebeests, along with hundreds of zebras and antelopes, migrate in search of food availability from the Northern Serengeti Plains to the Southern parts. As part of wildlife viewing in a 6-day luxury safari, you can watch the migration from a safer distance.
