Frequently asked questions Tanzania

Unprecedented Tanzania
Among East Africa 's most impressive destinations, Tanzania is known for its vast nature and diversity. From the endless savannahs of the Serengeti to the imposing Ngorongoro Crater and the lakes of Manyara and Eyasi, the country offers an exceptional wealth of nature for travellers looking for exclusive discoveries.

Nature reserves and wildlife
The country is home to world-renowned national parks and reserves. The Serengeti is known for the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra, while Ngorongoro Crater boasts unprecedented biodiversity. Here, the Big Five live in a protected and impressive landscape, making Tanzania one of the best safari destinations in the world.

Culture and tranquillity
Besides nature, Tanzania also offers rich cultural diversity. Indigenous peoples such as the Masai provide insight into ancient traditions and ways of life. Visits to colourful villages and markets are interspersed with moments of tranquillity in remote nature reserves. This combination of culture, silence and nature makes travelling through Tanzania particularly versatile.

Travels through Tanzania
Travelling by safari vehicle, boat or domestic flight shows how Tanzania offers a balanced mix of nature, culture and adventure. From game drives through the Serengeti and Selous to walks through traditional villages, markets and landscapes, each itinerary shows a different side of the country. Tanzania is suitable for both active trips, such as safaris and mountain climbing on Mount Kilimanjaro, and relaxing tours of coastal areas and nature parks.

Avila Travel Tanzania wildebeest migration

Tanzania can be visited all year round, with the best time to travel depending on your interests and travel purpose. The overview below provides insight by season:

June to October (dry season): This period is considered the best time for safaris. Due to the dry landscape, animals are more visible and gather around water sources. The Great Migration in the Serengeti also peaks during these months. The weather is usually dry and pleasant.

December to March (warm and dry): A suitable period for nature photography and predator observation. Vegetation is less dense and conditions are favourable for hiking. Allow for higher temperatures, especially in the low-lying areas.

April and May: In these months, shorter, sometimes intense rains create a particularly green and fertile landscape. It is quieter in the national parks, making this period attractive for travellers who appreciate silence and space. In addition, this is an excellent time to observe flight and songbirds.

Especially for optimal wildlife watching: June to October offer the best conditions for wildlife spotting, while December to March is suitable for aerial safaris, hiking and experiencing Tanzania's landscapes at leisure.
