Many travelers ask us when the best time is to visit Tanzania. The answer is … there is not one right answer. It depends on what you want to see, where you want to go, your budget, and interests. Please find a comprehensive guide on when is the best time to visit Tanzania here.
- High Season (June to October & December to February): These months are ideal for safaris and beach visits due to the pleasant weather and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. However, expect higher hotel rates and more crowded parks and attractions.
- Mid Season (November & 19th December): This period offers a balance of moderate hotel rates and fewer tourists. The weather can be variable, and some attractions might have limited availability (due to rains), but you still get great wildlife sightings and a more relaxed safari experience.
- Low Season (March, April & May): The low season features the lowest hotel rates and the least crowded parks, perfect for budget-conscious travelers. The heavy rains make the scenery vibrant and lush, but travel plans can be affected by the weather.
