Seasons in Tanzania

1. Dry season (June to October)
   1. Climatic conditions: pleasant temperatures, low humidity, clear skies and little rainfall.
   2. Animal watching: Ideal for wildlife watching, as animals gather around the few watering holes, making it easier to spot them.
   3. Recommended parks: Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park and Lake Manyara National Park.
   4. Special feature: July to September is the best time to witness the great migration in the northern Serengeti, near the Mara River.
   5.  
2.  Short rainy season (November to December)
   • Weather: Irregular and more moderate rainfall, with occasional showers in the morning and evening.
   • Game viewing: Always favorable for safaris, as the vegetation is greener and denser. Animals are visible, and the scenery is more spectacular.
   • Recommended parks: The Serengeti remains excellent, especially in December, when the great migration begins to return south.
   • Advantage: Fewer tourists than during the high season, offering a more intimate and quiet experience.

4. Main rainy season (March to May)
   • Climatic conditions: Frequent rainfall, but generally in the form of short showers. However, some roads in the parks can be muddy or difficult to access.
   • Animal sightings: Animals are more scattered due to the abundance of water, making them a little more difficult to observe.
   • Recommended parks: The Ngorongoro Crater remains accessible and rich in wildlife. However, many parks can be more difficult to access.
   • Benefit: Fewer tourists, and some accommodations offer reduced rates.
5.  
6. Short dry season (January and February)
   • Climatic conditions: Dry weather with warm temperatures.
   • Game viewing: Excellent time to see the great migration in the Ndutu region, south of the Serengeti. This period is known for wildebeest calving.
   • Recommended parks: The southern Serengeti and the Ndutu region are particularly popular in January and February for observing newborns and hunting predators.
   • Special feature: The landscapes are green and vibrant, offering great opportunities for photography.

General recommendations

• Best time for a safari: The dry season from June to October is often the most recommended, as it combines good weather conditions with excellent animal visibility.
• Great Migration: To see the Great Migration, the best time depends on location. From January to March, the migration is in the southern Serengeti, while in July and August, it's in the north near the Mara River.
• Honeymoons or couples' trips: The short rainy season from November to December and the short dry season in January and February offer green landscapes, fewer crowds and more attractive rates.
