Discover Tanzania

The best time to visit Tanzania for safari is June to October, the dry season, when wildlife is easy to see and the Great Migration crosses rivers in the northern Serengeti. January to March is ideal for calving season in Ndutu. The long rains usually fall in April and May, when some lodges close.

Seven to ten days is ideal for a classic northern Tanzania safari. With 12 to 15 days, you can add Zanzibar's beaches or a Kilimanjaro climb. Shorter 3 to 5-day safaris work well if you have limited time, focusing on Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti.

Top experiences include Serengeti game drives, the Great Migration, the Big Five in Ngorongoro Crater, elephant watching in Tarangire, a hot-air balloon safari, climbing Kilimanjaro, relaxing on Zanzibar's beaches, exploring Stone Town, snorkeling and diving, and respectful cultural visits with Maasai and Hadzabe communities.

Tanzania is generally considered a safe and welcoming destination for tourists, especially on organized safaris with reputable operators. Follow your guide's advice, keep valuables secure, avoid walking alone at night in cities and check your government's latest travel advice. Take comprehensive travel insurance before you travel.
