Tanzania Safari is known for its all-year-round activities. Given its close proximity to the equator, Tanzania undergoes two distinct dry and wet seasons. Hence, your ideal time depends on the type of Tanzania Safari Activity you choose. However, the dry season from June to October & December to March is considered to be the best time to go on Tanzania safari.

The Serengeti Migration congregates in large herds around Lake Ndutu in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area from December to March and is the perfect time to see the wildebeest calving. Whereas, the wildebeest migration river crossing in the Serengeti is usually from June to November.

Overall, the cost of a Tanzania safari can start from a minimum of USD$200 per day and can range up to USD$2000 per day depending upon your travel itinerary and choice of accommodations but most are in a range of $400 to $700 per person/per day.
