The best time for a safari in Tanzania is during the dry season from June to October. This period offers excellent wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources. The Great Migration typically occurs in the Serengeti from July to October. However, Tanzania offers incredible wildlife viewing year-round, with each season offering unique experiences.
