Tanzania is also a home to the largest game reserve in Africa, that is, Serengeti National Park, which is over 50,000 square kilometers. That is the biggest reason why most of the tourists visit Tanzania to do their dream safaris.

Serengeti National Park is home to the world’s largest mammal migration, where over one million wildebeests and hundreds of other animals are seen moving and being hunted by their predator lions.

The best time to visit Tanzania if you want to experience and hike Mount Kilimanjaro is during January and February. The tourists can first choose to climb Mount Meru before Mount Kilimanjaro, although rain can fall at any time during this period, often in large amounts as in the rainy seasons. Additionally, the climate from July to September is also very humid for mountain climbing.

And on the other side, the best time for the wildlife holidays in Tanzania is in the dry seasons of December to early March and then from June to October when the water sources in the different national parks and national reserves dry out, as the main sources of water will be the park streams and rivers where you can find various animals quenching their thirst. For the beach safaris, the coast and islands like Mafia, Dar es Salaam, Pemba and many more can be visited in November and December and then middle March to June with African Vacation Safaris, as well as visiting the other historical towns at any time of the years like Kilwa, stone town and many more, and learning a lot about their history from the time of the slave trade as you enjoy various safari activities like scuba diving, snorkeling and many others.

The best time to see the world’s largest wildebeest migration during the Tanzania safari holidays is between October and November in Serengeti National Park, where you can witness over a million wildebeest and zebras without forgetting the gazelles, although Tanzania can be visited all year round with two distinct rainy seasons but for a better view of the wildlife and a better holiday experience, the dry season is the best time for visiting the country.
