Tanzania is a beautiful, untamed country of diverse landscapes ranging from majestic mountain peaks to white sand beaches and endless stretches of open plains, famously inhabited by large herds of wildlife. In particular, the Great Migration is a sight that draws safari enthusiasts year after year for its affirmation of life and timelessness.
Tanzania offers something for everyone who seeks a true, authentic African safari experience. While climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and embarking on a safari across the northern circuit (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti) are the most well known adventures, there are certainly more remote safari circuits that are equally as majestic. A safari to Tanzania requires careful planning in terms of timing, weather and locations, especially with regards to animal movements. We will be able to guide you to the best areas so that all of your own unique interests can be included in your Tanzania safari.
The high season in Tanzania is between July and October and from December to February – the dry seasons when game is easier to spot. To avoid the crowds, consider May, November and early December, although you should expect some rain. If you are traveling to western or southern Tanzania, then May through early October is best, as it can be very hot during the rest of the year. April and May endure long rains in Tanzania, so be prepared for un-drivable roads and muddy, buggy conditions – camps in western and southern Tanzania are closed.
If you’re focused on the migration, then plan to visit the Serengeti from January to early March, in June/July or from late October to mid-December (we’ll advise on the best camp location based on your month of travel). Keep in mind that weather patterns are changing across the world, which in turn affects the movement of wildlife.
Budget itineraries can start as low as $300 per person per night – but this is the bottom of the range for mass-market tourism and we don’t recommend or sell these trips. The upmarket, luxury properties cost between $600-$1,300 per person per night during peak season, with the most exclusive properties reaching $2,700 per person per night. For the best experience, we do not advocate going below $500 per person per night for a Tanzania safari.
In our opinion, the Grumeti Reserve is the cream of the crop – one of the most unbelievable places in all of Africa, with Faru Faru Lodge being a favorite contemporary camp. If you’re not focused on the Great Migration, then we recommend visiting the northern Serengeti in the off-season (January to mid-March, June and November to mid-December). The scenery is simply spectacular and since most wildlife doesn’t migrate like the wildebeest, you’ll get lots of solo time with all the resident big cats and antelope herds. A few of our favorite camps include Lamai Serengeti, Singita Mara River and Lemala Kuria Hills. We also love enjoying the slower safari pace at Chem Chem Lodge, secretly tucked between Tarangire and Lake Manyara. For something a bit more remote and off the beaten path, we love both Ruaha in the south (including Ikuka Safari Camp and Kigelia Ruaha), as well as Mahale Mountains in the west for some of the best chimp trekking in Africa. And for some beach time away from the crowds, The Manta Resort on Pemba Island is not to be missed for your dose of barefoot beach luxury.
