Best Time for This 2-Day Safari Tanzania
The best time for a Tanzania safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater is during the dry season, from June to October. During this period, wildlife congregates around the limited water sources, especially the Tarangire River, making game viewing easier and more rewarding. The weather is generally sunny and clear, ideal for photographic safaris. While the wet season (November to May) offers lush landscapes and excellent birdwatching, wildlife is more dispersed.
