- December to March: This period is ideal for witnessing the Great Migration in the Serengeti, as thousands of wildebeest and zebras gather on the plains.
- June to October: During these months, you can experience excellent game viewing across all the parks, including the Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro Crater. The weather is generally dry, and animals are easier to spot as they gather around water sources.
- April and May: These months mark the rainy season in Tanzania, and while it can be a quieter time for tourists, the landscapes are lush and vibrant. The prices may be lower during this period.
It’s recommended to consult Tranquil Kilimanjaro and safari experts who can provide detailed insights based on your specific travel dates, wildlife interests, and budget. They can help you choose the best time to embark on your unforgettable honeymoon safari in Tanzania.
