What to See:

Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, known for its vast elephant herds, iconic baobab trees, and diverse wildlife, including lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, and over 500 bird species. The journey continues to Serengeti National Park, home to the legendary Great Migration, where thousands of wildebeest and zebras move across the plains in search of fresh grazing. Serengeti is also one of the best places to spot the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—as well as cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles, and a wide variety of birdlife.

Best Time to Travel & Safari Seasons: Tanzania offers incredible safari experiences year-round. The best time to travel depends on the type of experience you're seeking:

Dry Season (June – October) – Peak Safari Season

The dry season is the ideal time for wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. The clear skies and low humidity offer excellent visibility, and fewer mosquitoes are present. This is also the best time to witness the Great Migration river crossings in the northern Serengeti, typically between July and September.

Green Season (November – May) – Lush Landscapes & Fewer Crowds

The green season brings vibrant landscapes and fewer tourists. This is the best time for birdwatching as migratory species arrive in Tanzania. From January to March, Serengeti becomes the calving ground for thousands of wildebeest, attracting predators such as lions and cheetahs. The green season also offers more affordable safari prices, with lower tourist numbers and discounted accommodations.
