If the main purpose of your Tanzania vacation is to have a glimpse of the diverse animals in large quantities, then the best time of the year to do this is between June and October which is Tanzanias dry season. You can surely have a great time watching the different kinds of animals in Ruaha and Selous which is part of Southern Tanzania, Katavi which is located in Western Tanzania and also in the Mahale Mountains near Lake Tanganyika.
In the month of June and July, a lot of flowers in full bloom can also be seen in the Ngorongoro Crater Highlands which would surely make your vacation an unforgettable one. But the temperature during this time usually changes erratically so, just be extra prepared with the necessary essentials youll need especially in a cold weather since the Ngorongoro is often cold with low cloud through these months.
During the dry season, it is also good to visit Tarangire which located in Northern Tanzania. Since this place is used as a refuge for wildlife during this season, this park becomes one of the best places for game. But if youre going to Tanzania to see several elephants and a lot of bird species, December to May is still the best time fro you to have your vacation.
But going to Tanzania is not always about knowing the right month and the right season, Serengeti and its surrounding areas is good for game viewing all year round. You just have to ask your tour guide which part of the park is best according to the time of the year. You can also ask which part is not very much crowded for you to really enjoy the scenic view with a little privacy.
If the main reason for your Tanzania vacation is to witness the wildebeest migration, then theres really no exact date or time for you to have your visit. But as estimated by some scientists, river crossing usually occurs between July and October on either the Grumeti or the Mara River. The calving which is one of the most popular things that visitors want to witness usually take place in the month of February. If you want to stay in Tanzania longer during these months, aside from the calving, you can still witness more game action during March to April before the wildebeest will start migrating in mid May.
Since most people have vacations from work between December to May, they can still have a great time in Tanzania if they visit both Serengeti Southern Plains and Serengeti Loliondo. The latter is best for walking, nightdriving and more of the wildebeests. The green season month which is the month of December to the end of February is also a good time to enjoy the Southern and the Western part of Tanzania. Though the month of January to February is a but humid in these areas which make it not a very good idea for walking safaris, but there are still fantastic sceneries to look at the green surroundings. There are also several young animals you can see roaming around and lots and lots of bird species. It maybe humid to go around this time but it is a much more gentle and mild season and theres a lot more to see.
Whatever month time of the year youre going to plan your Tanzania vacation, you dont have to really worry because there are lots of stuff that are just waiting for you to explore.
