Best Time to Visit (2024-2025)
The ideal time for a 6-day private Tanzania safari is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. During this period, the game viewing is at its best as animals congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. The Great Migration in the Serengeti is a highlight of this time, offering spectacular wildlife encounters. Alternatively, the short rainy season from November to December can also be rewarding with fewer tourists and lush landscapes. For those interested in witnessing the calving season, January through March is perfect as it brings numerous newborn animals and dynamic predator-prey interactions.
