Tanzania is the ultimate safari destination. During your round trip, you will stay in beautiful accommodations located in the middle of nature. Moreover, Tanzania offers the perfect conclusion to a trip on one of the tropical islands of Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia, where you can recover from your safari in peace and quiet.
In the Serengeti, you and your private guide will go in search of the famous Big Five, consisting of the buffalo, lion, elephant, leopard and rhino. During our summer months, the biggest spectacle, the annual wildebeest migration, takes place here, when thousands of animals cross the Mara River. A phenomenon not to be missed! Other popular parks are, of course, Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Park. Together with a visit to Ngorongoro Crater, you will experience Tanzania at its best here. There are also plenty of hidden gems, such as Mahale and Gombe National Park where you can see chimpanzees in the wild! Or visit the southern parks like Selous, Ruaha and Mikumi. The experience there is at least as good.

Tanzania is a fascinating destination all year round, but the best time to travel depends on your preferences and activities. Here is an overview by season:
June to October (dry season): The best period for safaris, as the dry landscape makes animals more easily visible. This is the period when animals gather around water sources and the famous Great Migration is at its peak. The weather is generally dry, sunny and pleasant, ideal for an undisturbed experience of nature.
December to March (warm and dry): A good time for nature photography and feline spotting as the vegetation is less dense. It is also the best period for hiking and enjoying the peace and quiet. Keep in mind that the weather is warmer and drier, especially in the lowlands.
April and May: This period is characterised by short, heavy rains, during which nature is particularly green and lush. It is less crowded and ideal for those seeking tranquillity and to experience the fertile, green landscapes. It is also the best time to see flightless and songbirds.
Especially for the best views and wildlife opportunities: The period from June to October is recommended for optimal wildlife sightings, while the months from December to March are perfect for aerial safaris, hiking and enjoying the oasis-like landscapes.
Tanzania is a land of contrasts and beauty, where breathtaking nature, vibrant cultures and rich wildlife converge. From the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro to the vast savannahs of the Serengeti and the paradisiacal beaches of Zanzibar. Each region has something special to offer.
