Best time to visit Tanzania:
Tanzania is the ideal destination for an abundance of wildlife and beautiful scenery. Some of the highlights include the famous Serengeti and the snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro. This country has a diverse range of national parks and reserves offering habitats ranging from forests to deserts, all connected with regular air- and road transfer services.

Seasons
• Summer: Oct-March. Winter: April-Sept.
• Tanzania offers excellent game viewing all year round. The migration between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara is a spectacular sight and a highlight when visiting Tanzania, but it is important to note that not all animals migrate and are year-round residents. The Great Migration takes place from April-June and Oct-Dec.
• Birding is excellent year round but the south is best at the height of the northern winter Tanzania boasts over 1 000 bird species, with Lake Manyara alone being home to more than 400. It is a year round birding destination, but at the height of the northern winter, some 160 species of migrating birds make their way south.
• For the traveller interested in the botanical aspect of Tanzania, the months immediately after the two rainy seasons are best for floral and botanical interests.
• Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is best from August to October and January to March.
