Knowing when to go on your Tanzania Safari is as important as any other decision you would make in regards to your trip. When it comes to getting the best views, deals, weather, and more, timing is essential.
Most areas in Tanzania are usually warm during the day and cool at night. This is a common experience all year long for these areas.
There are two distinct seasons intending travelers should take note of when making plans:
April – May for the long rains
November – December for the short rains
We usually advise our clients not to book any safari tour during the long rains (April to May) as most safari camps are closed, and the showers might hinder your viewing pleasure. On the other hand, November to December are known for their short rains, and during this time, camps open their doors,and the views are great.
