This Tanzania safari and beach holiday is available throughout the year, but the experience changes with the seasons. June to October is often popular for wildlife viewing during the drier months. January to March can be rewarding for exploring the southern Serengeti and Ndutu area, where wildebeest calving may occur depending on seasonal conditions.
April and May generally bring a greener landscape and a greater likelihood of rain in many areas, while November and December can offer changing wildlife movements and seasonal showers. The Great Wildebeest Migration is a natural event, so its location and timing cannot be guaranteed. Zanzibar also experiences seasonal rainfall and changing ocean conditions.
