Where nature’s drama unfolds on a grand scale, Tanzania is a country of extraordinary contrasts. From the endless plains of the Serengeti to the tranquil shores of Zanzibar, it promises unrivaled safari adventures and the perfect touch of coastal luxury.
Home to the Great Migration, the world-famous Serengeti National Park offers unparalleled wildlife viewing
A UNESCO World Heritage site, Ngorongoro Crater is a vast volcanic caldera home to one of the densest concentrations of wildlife on Earth
Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, attracts adventurers and climbers from around the globe with its breathtaking views and varied ecosystems
The Zanzibar Archipelago is known for its pristine beaches and rich history, with the capital Stone Town offering a blend of Swahili culture and Arabic influence
The tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara are a unique phenomenon found only in this park, adding a fascinating twist to wildlife viewing
Tanzania sets the stage for one of the most remarkable safari experiences on Earth, where the Great Migration sweeps across the Serengeti in a breathtaking display of life and survival. Millions of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles move in synchronized rhythm, trailed by stealthy predators like lions and crocodiles. From the vantage point of a safari jeep, a hot-air balloon, or a luxury camp, the Serengeti immerses you in the raw beauty of this untamed wilderness.
Elsewhere in Tanzania, the diversity of its landscapes and wildlife is equally compelling. The Ngorongoro Crater, a world within a world, shelters abundant game against the dramatic backdrop of its volcanic walls. Tarangire’s ancient baobabs stand sentinel over vast herds of elephants, while Lake Manyara enchants with its vibrant birdlife and elusive tree-climbing lions. For adventurers, the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro offers a challenge like no other, while the tranquil beaches of Zanzibar are a dreamy post-safari retreat, where the call of the wild meets the lap of the waves.
Tanzania sits just south of the equator, so its climate is relatively constant throughout the year, however it is a large country so regional variations exist. Generally speaking the long dry season is from June to October with two distinct wet seasons, the long rains are from March to May and the short rains are November to December. January and February are hot and humid with a chance of rain. During this time of the year the wildebeest are calving in the southern Serengeti, with plenty of predator action. March to May is the long rains, some roads become inaccessible making travel to and from lodges tricky at times, Zanzibar is best avoided at this time. June through to September is the dry season and the most popular time to visit, with clear warm days, evenings and early mornings are cold, we recommend bringing a warm fleece. The migration is steadily moving northwards towards the Kenya/Tanzania border. September is the start of the birding season with many migrants arriving. The best months to climb climbing Kilimanjaro is January to March and June through to October. For chimpanzee trekking the ideal time is June through to October. The islands of Zanzibar and Pemba are best visited in December to February and from May through to October.
