Frequently Asked Questions

The best time to visit Tanzania for a safari is from July through to October. Known as the long dry season, these months bring minimal rainfall and shorter grasses, ideal conditions for spotting wildlife. For an epic Tanzania safari experience, travel in July, September, or October to witness the annual Great Migration in Serengeti National Park. If you’re after a quieter experience, consider visiting between November and March, when the migration is settled in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu region, offering exceptional wildlife encounters without the crowds.

The Great Migration Africa is one of the most incredible wildlife spectacles on the planet, and a large part of it unfolds in Tanzania. Each year, over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles make a dramatic circular journey across the Serengeti National Park, following seasonal rains in search of fresh grazing. 

In Tanzania, the best time to witness the Great Migration is from July to October, when the herds cross crocodile-infested rivers in the northern Serengeti. Pelorus offer a unique way to view this incredible natural phenomenon from above. Soar above the crowds in a helicopter for a panoramic view like no other. Earlier in the year, from January to March, the southern Serengeti comes alive as calving season begins, attracting predators and providing dramatic wildlife encounters. 

However, there is much to see throughout the year, as the animals in the Serengeti plains of Africa, including lions, elephants, cheetahs, and more, create a dynamic and ever-changing safari experience.
