Best Time for Serengeti Safari & Zanzibar Beach Holidays

Timing is key for the ultimate Tanzania adventure. Here’s when to plan your trip:

• June–October (Dry Season): Perfect for Serengeti’s Great Migration (especially Mara River crossings in July–September) and Zanzibar’s sunny, dry weather for beach activities.
• January–March (Calving Season): Ideal for Serengeti’s wildebeest calving and predator action, with warm, pleasant conditions in Zanzibar for swimming and diving.
• November–December (Short Rains): Lush Serengeti landscapes and fewer tourists, with brief showers that don’t disrupt Zanzibar’s beach vibe.
• March–May (Long Rains): Budget-friendly with lower rates, though some Serengeti roads may be challenging; Zanzibar remains accessible with occasional rain.
