Tanzanian Seasons
When to visit?
As the Serengeti enters its Dry Season from June to October, a pleasant coolness fills the air, while the days still embrace warmth. The once lush vegetation now stands dry and sparse while wildlife congregate around communal water sources, offering remarkable game viewing opportunities
The Wet Season spans from March to May and is often referred to as the ‘Long Rains,’ in the Serengeti. These months bring refreshing showers and a sense of renewal to the land adding diversity to the safari experience. This period marks the safari low season, presenting a unique opportunity to explore the Serengeti with fewer crowds and a more intimate connection to nature’s rhythm.
In contrast, the ‘Short Rains’ gently touch the Serengeti during November and December. These nourishing rains green the earth again and rarely persist, making for enjoyable safari days.
