Best time for the 4 days Tanzania Safari

The best time for the 4-day Tanzania Safari depends on your preferences and the specific wildlife experiences you want to encounter. However, here are some general recommendations:

• Dry Season (June to October): This period is considered the best time for wildlife viewing in Tanzania. The weather is generally dry, and animals gather around water sources, making it easier to spot them. The vegetation is also less dense, offering better visibility. It is the peak tourist season, so parks can be crowded, and prices may be higher.
• Wet Season (November to May): The wet season in Tanzania brings lush green landscapes and is an excellent time for birdwatching. It is the low tourist season, meaning fewer crowds and lower prices. However, the rain can make some roads impassable and wildlife may disperse as water sources become more plentiful.
• Calving Season (December to March): If witnessing the wildebeest migration and calving is your priority, then visiting during this period is recommended. The herds gather in the southern Serengeti, particularly in Ndutu, for calving, and predators are more active. It is a unique and thrilling experience, but availability and prices may vary.
• Shoulder Seasons: The months of June and November are considered shoulder seasons, with fewer tourists compared to the peak season. The weather can be transitional, but wildlife sightings are still good, and prices may be more affordable.
