Best Time for Tanzania Safari 2-Day
The best time for a 2-Day Tanzania safari depends on what you want to see and experience during your trip. Tanzania offers great wildlife viewing throughout the year, but there are specific seasons that might suit your preferences better:
- Dry Season (June to October): This is the best time for wildlife viewing in Tanzania. The weather is dry, and animals congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. The grass is also shorter, which further improves visibility. July to September is particularly popular as it’s the migration season in the Serengeti and the animals are on the move, providing excellent game viewing opportunities.
- Wet Season (November to May): This period is divided into the ‘short rains’ (November to December) and the ‘long rains’ (March to May). While the wet season offers fewer crowds and lower prices, it also means that some roads might be impassable due to mud, and wildlife is more dispersed as there is water available in many areas. However, this is a great time for birdwatching as migratory birds are present, and many animals give birth during this period.
Specific Recommendations:
- June to October: These months are ideal for safaris in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and other northern parks. Tarangire National Park is also excellent during this time.
- November to February: This period is good for birdwatching, and you can still enjoy safaris in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. The southern circuit parks like Selous and Ruaha are also great during these months.
- March to May: This is the low season due to heavy rains. Many lodges and camps might be closed, and some roads might be inaccessible. However, if you don’t mind occasional showers and want to avoid crowds, you can still visit during this time. The northern circuit parks might be wet, but the southern parks like Selous and Ruaha are still accessible and offer good wildlife viewing opportunities.
