Good to Know

Best Time to Visit Tanzania

Tanzania offers diverse experiences throughout the year, but the best time depends on the experiences you’re seeking:

June to October (Dry Season):
- Why: Clear skies, pleasant weather, and minimal rainfall make it ideal for wildlife viewing.
- Highlights: Animals congregate around water sources, making it easier to spot them, especially in parks like Serengeti and Tarangire. The Great Migration usually takes place in northern Serengeti between July and August, where wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River.
- Beach: Zanzibar’s coastlines are warm and sunny, perfect for beach activities.
November to March (Short & Long Rains):
- Why: Tanzania experiences “short rains” in November and December and “long rains” from March to May, but November through February remains a fantastic time for certain activities.
- Highlights: January and February are calving seasons in the Serengeti, a spectacular time to witness newborn animals and predator activity. Migratory birds are abundant, making it excellent for bird-watching.
- Best for Budget Travelers: Some lodges offer lower rates during these months, making luxury experiences more accessible.

Good to Know Before Your Trip

Visa Requirements:
- Most travelers need a visa to enter Tanzania, which can often be obtained on arrival or online in advance through Tanzania’s eVisa system. Check specific requirements for your country.
Vaccinations and Health:
- Yellow Fever: Required if traveling from a country with a risk of yellow fever.
- Malaria: Tanzania is a malaria-risk area, so preventive medication is recommended, along with mosquito repellent and protective clothing.
Currency and Payment:
- The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is the official currency, but USD is widely accepted, especially for tourism-related services. It's best to carry smaller bills, as many smaller businesses may not have change for large notes.
Packing Essentials:
- Safari Gear: Lightweight, neutral-colored clothing is recommended for safaris. Include a hat, sunglasses, and comfortable walking shoes.
- Beachwear: If visiting Zanzibar, bring appropriate swimwear and light clothing.
- Photography Equipment: A good camera and binoculars enhance the safari experience, especially in vast parks like Serengeti.
Local Etiquette and Customs:
- Dress Modestly: Particularly in Zanzibar, where the culture is conservative.
- Respect Local Traditions: Swahili is the main language, and learning a few phrases like “Jambo” (Hello) or “Asante” (Thank you) is appreciated.
Connectivity:
- While most lodges and cities offer Wi-Fi, connection speeds may be slower than what you’re used to. Consider purchasing a local SIM card for reliable data access.
