Best Time to Visit Tanzania’s Northern Circuit

The best time for a safari in the Northern Circuit largely depends on your wildlife preferences:

  • Dry Season (June to October): The dry season offers excellent game viewing as animals gather near water sources. This period also brings clear skies and mild temperatures, ideal for comfortable game drives and photography.
  • Wet Season (November to May): The wet season sees fewer tourists, and the landscape becomes lush and green. This season is also fantastic for birdwatching, as migratory birds flock to Tanzania, and it’s the calving season in the Serengeti (January to March), drawing predators and providing thrilling wildlife interactions.

 

Safari Tips for a Memorable Northern Circuit Adventure

  1. Pack Smart: Bring light, breathable clothing for the day and warmer layers for early mornings and evenings. Don’t forget essentials like sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a camera with extra batteries.
  2. Stay Hydrated: Safaris can be physically demanding. Bring plenty of water, and ask your guide about reliable sources for refilling.
  3. Listen to Your Guide: Our guides are seasoned professionals with a wealth of knowledge about animal behavior and safety practices. Follow their guidance for a safe and enjoyable experience.
  4. Respect Wildlife and Nature: Tanzania’s parks are protected spaces. Avoid littering, maintain a respectful distance from animals, and remember that loud noises can disturb the wildlife.
