Northern Tanzania can be visited all year. The dry season from June to October is the easiest for game viewing, while the green season from November to May brings fewer visitors and lush scenery. The migration herds move around the Serengeti through the year.
Most visitors need a Tanzania visa, which you can apply for online through the official e-visa system before you travel. Check the current requirements for your nationality. Speak to your doctor or a travel clinic about vaccinations and malaria prevention.
The herds move around the Serengeti through the year, and timing depends on the rains, so we cannot guarantee when or where you will see them. We plan your trip around the most likely herd position for your dates.
