The Best Time To Go On A Wildlife Tanzania Safari Tour

Tanzania is a beautiful country that has something to offer to everyone. Tanzania offers a wildlife lover’s wildlife expedition and safari. Culture and history buffs can visit historic towns in Tanzania and explore vintage locations. The romantic traveler can ease his mind at one of the comfiest resorts in different parts of Tanzania. So, summarizing the best time to visit Tanzania in one month or one season will be an injustice to the beautiful nation.

Tanzania is a pretty big nation area-wise, majorly divided into the south region and the north region. Both north Tanzania and south Tanzania have their own unique seasons, which are the best months to visit them. When you live in a hot area like Dubai and the Middle East, you would certainly want to want to enjoy exploring wildlife in a cooler and calmer atmosphere. To help you plan the perfect Tanzania holiday packages from the Dubai team, Yup Africano brings you this article, which lists the best period to visit Tanzania.

The Dry Season

One of the best seasons to visit Tanzania is during the dry season, which starts in late June and lasts until October. As June begins, rainfall slowly reduces in Tanzania and the dry season begins. For the upcoming dry season, wild animals begin migrating towards the north of the Grumeti River. As the June month ends, the region becomes very dry and, as a result, wild animals also start searching for food and water, so spotting them becomes easier.

If you plan on bird watching in Tanzania, then mid-June to June’s end is the best period for bird watchers. The rainfall just ends in this period, and there is still a lot of green vegetation, so birds can be spotted easily and more frequently. Also, the atmosphere in this period is much cooler and yet not hot. It is the best time to plan African safari packages from Dubai around June for bird watching and exploring the beginning of migration season in Tanzania.

July

As July arrives, the peak season for visiting Tanzania begins. The animals will begin to migrate toward Kenya this month. Elephants begin to gather in the Tarangire National Park, and it’s a beautiful sight. As the peak season begins, it is better to plan your holiday packages from Dubai to Tanzania in advance with team Yup Africano. If you do delay in booking, then you won’t get accommodation in your favorite lodges and resorts.

If you want to extend your trip to Zanzibar as well, then this is a great period. As compared to December to March, the month of July onward is much cooler and you can enjoy your holiday to your entire heart’s content. During this month, the evenings, nights, and early mornings get very cool, so it is advised that you carry warmer clothes to wear around this period.

The peak season is August-September.

Generally, this is considered the best time to visit Tanzania and it is also the peak season to visit. Tourists flood all the national parks, and you can find a lot of company while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. The movement of wild animals is very predictable in this phase as they wander toward the water sources in search of water. This is the best time to photograph wildlife, as they move a lot around this time. If you are an enthusiast of wildlife research, then you must book your Tanzania safari package from Dubai or any part of this season with team Yup Africano.

Talking about Lake Natron, which is otherwise very eerie, flamingos fly back to this lake during this season for mating and in search of food. Lake Natron is the only place where flamingos gather for breeding. The fact that no life can survive in Lake Natron’s almost acidic water, but flamingos flock there, makes a visit to Lake Natron a must-include in your Tanzanian Safari Packages.

And if diving and water sports adventures are on your top to-do list in Zanzibar, then you must call Team Yup Africano and book your Tanzania tour packages from Dubai to visit the beautiful island. The water around these two months is the clearest, and turtles begin to hatch on the Indian Ocean beaches during this period.

September is the last month of peak season, and all lodges, resorts, and accommodations are fully booked in this period. It is a great time to book a wildlife safari in this period as wild animals are fully trying to move towards the Kenyan region. As the wild animals move towards Kenya in a full gush, the Mara River is the biggest obstacle they face. A herd of wildebeests frantically swims across the crocodile-infested waters of the Mara River to go to Kenya. This is a great site to witness and makes your entire African safari from Dubai trip worthwhile.

October to December

In October, slow rains start to fall in Tanzania, making it a bit difficult to explore different places. Yet, around October, you can see a considerable movement of animals. Slowly and gradually, the rainfall increases during this period and it becomes difficult to step out. From December onwards, the rainfall increases the most, and most lodges and accommodation remain closed as it is impossible to operate in this period. But for visiting Zanzibar, December is a great month as the climate is cold on this island but not very cold, and it is the best month to spend your Christmas vacation and enjoy good sunshine.
