Tanzania is a year-round destination, but the best time for a safari is from June to October. To witness the Great Migration, visit in August for the river crossing experience. The dry season, from May to October, is ideal for safaris, while the wet season, from March to May, is best for witnessing the Great Migration. The shoulder season, from November to January, is a good time for birdwatching.
Focus on the species that are important to you, whether its cats, birds, or any other thing. Better moments are for those who are patient enough, to wait till the right time for the perfect shot. With your own safari guide and safari vehicle, better options for the safari are truly exceptional.
Tanzania’s northern circuit –is relatively close and easing the safari with a private guide. Cruise through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Manyara, and many others, this is very much your trip.
We advise our travelers, to always plan accordingly and prepare for tips all over their travel. Tips can be done in safari camps and anywhere you would like to give your appreciation. Safari guides are always tipped at the end of the trip and given a bigger portion based on how the trip was fruit full.
Tipping doesn’t have any limits but we always advise 20$ per day per person.
Every year, a wildebeest travels over 1000 kilometers between Tanzania and Kenya. The eponymous wildebeest is on the move, the migration of wildebeests is claimed to be in search of food and water, although this movement is greatly dependent on rain since they follow the rain and green grass. They migrate from the plains of Tanzania's southern Serengeti National Park to the Savannah of northern Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve at the start of the rainy season, then return to the plains at the start of the next rainy season. The world’s most awaited starts as early as June and is delayed to October or even November, so planning in time is the key, lets us plan for you the best time and best program to suit this epic moment.
