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 coast is warm all year. The drier months are generally the most comfortable, while the long rains can bring heavy showers. Ask us about the best timing for your dates.
Yes. Tell us your dates, interests, group size and budget, and we will adjust the itinerary, accommodation level and pace to suit you. Every trip is tailor-made, and we provide a personal quote.
