Serengeti roars and Kilimanjaro soars, June to October paints a dry, wild masterpiece

15 spots8 speciesFebruary
The best time to visit Tanzania is between June and October, when dry days bring the Serengeti’s migration and Zanzibar’s beaches to life. With 20°C to 25°C weather, it’s ideal for climbing Kilimanjaro, exploring Ngorongoro, or diving in Pemba. For fewer crowds, try May or November.
