A month by Month Guide

What is the best month to visit the Serengeti?

The best time to visit East Africa depends on your desired activities, but the dry season from June to October is generally ideal. During this period, wildlife is easier to spot as animals gather around water sources, and the weather is pleasant with clear skies and mild temperatures. This is also the prime time for safaris, particularly for witnessing the Great Migration in the Serengeti and Masai Mara.

For those looking to avoid crowds and enjoy lower prices, the shoulder seasons in November and May can still provide a rewarding experience, though some areas may experience rain, affecting travel logistics and wildlife visibility. If your adventure includes coastal destinations like Zanzibar, June to October is perfect for a beach getaway, offering warm, dry weather and pristine turquoise waters.

January

Dry season
January is an excellent month to visit East Africa, especially for safari enthusiasts. The weather is warm and dry, providing optimal conditions for wildlife viewing. Animals are often concentrated around water sources, making it easier to spot the Big Five. Coastal destinations like Zanzibar also offer beautiful beach weather, with sunny skies and clear waters. January is a great time to explore both wildlife and beach destinations in East Africa.

February

Dry season
February is one of the best months for witnessing the Great Migration in the Serengeti, as thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles gather for calving season.

The coastal areas, such as Zanzibar, also offer warm, sunny conditions for beach vacations in February.

March

Shoulder season
In March, the long rains begin to arrive in East Africa, bringing lush greenery to the landscape. While wildlife viewing may be a bit more challenging in some areas, it’s a great time to visit the rainforests and see the beautiful foliage. The migratory birds are also abundant in the region. For those seeking a quieter safari experience with fewer tourists, March offers a more serene time to visit, though it’s also the start of the rainy season.

April

Rainy season

April is one of the wettest months in East Africa, with heavy rains falling across many regions.

Coastal destinations can be wetter as well, but the beaches still offer solitude and peace.

May

Rainy season

May continues the rainy season, with lush green landscapes across East Africa. It’s a quieter month for safaris, as many tourists prefer to wait for the dry season.

While some areas may be inaccessible, the reduced crowds make for a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path adventure in East Africa.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a visa to visit Tanzania?
Yes, most travelers need a visa to enter Tanzania. You can obtain a visa on arrival at major entry points like Kilimanjaro International Airport and Julius Nyerere International Airport, but it’s recommended to apply for an eVisa online in advance to avoid delays. Visa fees vary depending on nationality, with single-entry visas typically costing $50 USD (or $100 USD for U.S. citizens). Travelers should ensure their passport is valid for at least six months beyond their arrival date. It’s also advisable to check the latest visa requirements with the Tanzanian embassy or official government website before traveling.
Yes, Tanzania is generally safe for tourists, and the country welcomes thousands of visitors each year without issues. Safari destinations, such as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Zanzibar, are well-secured and catered to international travelers. However, like any destination, it’s important to take precautions. Travelers should avoid walking alone at night, especially in urban areas like Arusha and Dar es Salaam, and use reputable tour operators for safaris and transportation. It’s advisable to keep valuables secure, be aware of local scams, and follow guidance from your tour guides. Vaccinations and travel insurance are also recommended for a safe and worry-free trip.
The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is the official currency, but US dollars (USD) are widely accepted, especially in hotels, lodges, and for park fees. It’s recommended to carry small amounts of shillings for local markets, shops, and restaurants, as smaller businesses may not accept foreign currency. ATMs are available in major cities like Arusha and Dar es Salaam, dispensing shillings, but credit cards are only accepted at high-end hotels and lodges, often with a 5-10% surcharge. Exchanging money at banks or authorized forex bureaus is the best way to get fair exchange rates.
