Best Time for a Lake Manyara Serengeti Safari

Tanzania is a year-round safari destination, and each season offers a different experience.

June to October: The dry season is popular for wildlife viewing. Vegetation is generally less dense, making it easier to spot animals in many areas.

November to December: The short rains bring fresh vegetation and greener landscapes, creating beautiful scenery for photography.

January to February

The green season provides lush landscapes, and depending on the location and timing, you may have opportunities to witness the wildebeest calving season.

March to May: The long rains create vibrant green landscapes and can mean fewer visitors in some areas.

The best time for your safari depends on your travel dates, preferred experience and budget.
