Best Time to visit: June to October (All parks), June-July and January-February (Serengeti for the wildebeest migration and calving).


High Season: July to March (northern circuit parks; they get crowded), July to October(southern and western circuit parks; they don't really get crowded any time of the year).


Low Season: April and May (northern circuit parks still get quite a few visitors unlike the southern and western circuit parks, where many lodges close down).


Best Weather: June to October (Little to no rainfall).

Worst Weather:March and April (Peak of Wet season).


June to October , Dry Season


June and July are the best months to see the wildebeest migration. Animals are easier to spot since they concentrate around waterholes and rivers and there is less vegetation. There are fewer mosquitoes because there is little to no rain; skies are clear and most days are sunny. Even though most tourists visit during the Dry season, the parks still don't feel crowded, except for the Seronera area in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. 

Mornings and nights get cold; it's recommended to bring warm clothing for morning game drives in open vehicles during the months of June, July and August


November to May , Wet Season


Late January to February is the time to see the calving in the southern Serengeti, and an excellent time to see predator action. The scenery is green and beautiful; it's low season, meaning lower rates and less crowded parks. Although wildlife is easier to spot in the Dry season, you will still see plenty and most northern circuit parks offer good year-round wildlife viewing. Migratory birds are present, and bird watching is at it's best. Except for March, April and May, rains are mostly short afternoon showers and seldom have a negative impact on your trip. March to May is the peak of the Wet season. Most big wildlife has migrated out of Tarangire NP, and wildlife viewing in Katavi, Selous and Ruaha is clearly better during the Dry season.
