Tanzania enjoys a tropical climate, with distinct wet and dry seasons. The coastal areas, including Zanzibar, are generally hot and humid year-round, with short rains in November and longer rains from March to May. The interior highlands, where most safari parks are located, have more moderate temperatures.
The best time to visit Tanzania for optimal safari experiences is during the dry seasons, from June to October and again from January to February, when wildlife is concentrated around water sources.
Peak season runs from June to October, coinciding with the dry season and the Great Migration's movement through the Serengeti. Expect excellent game viewing, sunny days, but also higher prices and more crowds at popular lodges and parks.
The off-season is typically during the long rains (March to May), although parts of the dry season can also see fewer tourists (e.g., November). You'll find lower prices and fewer crowds, but some roads might be challenging, and game viewing can be more spread out.
