Best Time to Visit for a Family Safari
The best time to visit Tanzania for a family safari is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. The weather is perfect for game drives, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures. This is also the time when wildlife congregates around waterholes, making it easier to spot animals.
For families interested in witnessing the Great Migration, the Serengeti is most vibrant from June to July, when millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the plains. If you prefer a quieter, less crowded experience, the short rainy season from November to December offers lush green landscapes and a peaceful environment for a more relaxed family safari experience.
