A question we often receive at Ariel Tanzania Tours and Safaris is, “When is the best time to embark on a safari?” The beauty of Tanzania is that it offers remarkable experiences year-round, each season presenting its own unique advantages. The perfect journey depends entirely on what you wish to see and the type of adventure you seek.
Prime Safari Seasons (June-October & December-February): For those prioritizing impeccable weather and unparalleled wildlife encounters, the dry seasons are unparalleled. These months provide perfect conditions for photographic safaris and idyllic beach extensions. As the most sought-after times to visit, we recommend booking well in advance to secure preferred lodges and guides.
The Sweet Spot (March & November): Our shoulder seasons are a well-kept secret. They strike an ideal compromise with pleasant temperatures, reduced visitor numbers, and more favorable rates. While occasional showers may occur, they breathe life into the scenery and rarely detract from the incredible wildlife sightings and intimate safari experience.
The Emerald Season (April-May): For the discerning traveler seeking solitude and value, the green season is a hidden gem. The landscape is at its most dramatic and lush, accommodation rates are at their most attractive, and you’ll often feel you have the wilderness to yourself. Travel during this time is adventurous, and we expertly design itineraries with the weather in mind to ensure a fantastic journey.
