From June to October, Tanzania basks in its dry season glory. This creates the perfect setting for an exceptional wildlife spectacle. Tanzania's equatorial proximity ensures a fairly constant tropical climate all year round. With temperatures ranging from 25°C to 32°C during the day. Early mornings and evenings offer a refreshing coolness, though regional distinctions and altitude may slightly alter this. While Simba Safaris welcomes adventurers any time of the year, there's something truly enchanting about experiencing the birth of zebra and wildebeest in December and February. It's a natural miracle that tugs at the heartstrings of every fan of wildlife.
Tanzania's wilderness is a stage that never goes dark. Throughout the year, it hosts unique wildlife spectacles that are sure to leave you in awe. Each season brings its own set of showstoppers, from the Great Migration to the heartwarming scenes of the calving season. Simba Safaris is your ticket to these breathtaking performances, where you can get up close and personal with nature's most dramatic moments.
Every year, like clockwork, the Serengeti becomes the stage for one of nature's grandest performances – the Great Migration. It's a spectacle where Simba Safaris takes you right to the centre of the action. In this display of survival, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores cross crocodile-infested rivers and vast plains in the quest for greener pastures.
In the Southern Serengeti, the calving season unfolds in all its beauty. It's a time when the savannah is sprinkled with newborns taking their first wobbly steps. Simba Safaris offers you the chance to witness this incredible cycle of life. As predators lurk nearby, waiting for their opportunity, the drama of birth and survival plays out. Your journey with us ensures you're right there – amidst the wild as life begins anew.
For bird enthusiasts, Tanzania's wet season brings an avian bonanza. With an explosion of colour and sound, an array of migratory birds descends upon the country. Simba Safaris' expert guides will lead you to hidden corners, where you can spot rare and exotic feathered friends.

Beyond the well-known peak tourist periods, Tanzania keeps its secrets well, offering quieter, more intimate seasons that reveal a different side of its natural beauty. These hidden gem seasons are the best-kept secrets of Tanzania's safari world, and Simba Safaris is your guide to finding them.
While the wet season may not be as popular, it offers a unique charm. The landscapes are lush and green, with an air of tranquillity that's hard to resist. Simba Safaris invites you to explore Tanzania during the Emerald Season! It’s when the crowds are thinner and the vegetation is at its most vibrant.
The months between the wet and dry seasons in Tanzania provide a serene escape for travellers looking to avoid the crowds. Simba Safaris knows the hidden gems in these shoulder seasons when the weather is mild, wildlife abounds, and you'll feel like you have the vast landscapes all to yourself.
Experience Tanzania's low season with Simba Safaris, a time when prices are often lower, and the animal sightings are still remarkable. If you're seeking an off-the-beaten-path adventure, this is your opportunity.
The best time to see the Great Migration is during the dry season – from June to October. This is when millions of wildebeests and zebras cross the Serengeti in search of fresh grass.
The calving season which occurs in the Southern Serengeti from January to March is a time of new life. You’ll witness wildebeest zebra giving birth to their young ones.
The wet season (from November to Mid December, and April to May) can be rewarding for birdwatchers and offers lush landscapes. It’s a less crowded time but be prepared for occasional rain showers and thicker vegetation that can make wildlife spotting a bit more challenging.
National Parks in Tanzania, like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, can get quite crowded during the peak season from June to October, and Mid December to early April. Planning well in advance and booking with Simba Safaris is recommended to secure your spot.
Travelling during Tanzania's shoulder seasons, typically between the wet and dry seasons, offers milder weather, fewer tourists, and excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.
