Best time for tanzania safaris
In January and February, one can observe the birth of thousands of wildebeest and zebra calves on the southern plains of the Serengeti. The renowned Mara River crossings transpire from July to October, during which over one million wildebeest and zebras traverse in pursuit of more fertile grazing grounds as part of their annual migration. Currently, the southern and western parks provide remarkable wildlife observations. Ascending Kilimanjaro, exploring the Ngorongoro Crater to observe the Big Five, and visiting Rubondo Island National Park in Lake Victoria to encounter chimpanzees provide a lifetime of experiences. The beautiful sandy beaches of Zanzibar are ideal for romance and aquatic excursions.

Wildebeest Migration
The Great Migration
The Great Wildebeest Migration is a remarkable phenomenon in which 2 million herbivores traverse the Serengeti throughout the year in pursuit of fresh grazing grounds. Certain months are more favorable than others for observing the herds. The optimal periods occur when they are most concentrated in specific regions:
From July to October, the herds traverse the Mara River in the northern Serengeti. This is where one witnesses spectacular Attenborough-like sights of wildebeest leaping into crocodile-infested waterways.
February is the peak of the calving season, providing the optimal opportunity to observe the herds in their full splendor as they congregate in the thousands across the vast southern plains. February is the sole period during which one can assuredly observe the herds, if one remains in their anticipated location, as they consistently congregate in the Ndutu plains during this season.
Marritto Safaris Africa recommend visiting the Serengeti during these periods if the Migration is a priority and you desire a peak-season luxury safari in Tanzania. Nonetheless, migration is a multifaceted and unpredictable phenomenon. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each season is essential, as detailed in our month-by-month migration blogs located in the chart to the right. Alternatively, contact us by phone, and we can guide you through the process.
Tanzania safari and beach - Zanzibar
Tanzania is undoubtedly one of the most desirable and accessible countries for combining safari experiences with beach destinations. Our preferred coastal retreat is Zanzibar, owing to its variety of accommodations, activities, and its stunning white sandy beaches and turquoise oceans. Zanzibar is reachable via brief domestic flights from all national parks.
Additional islands to contemplate include Pemba Island, Mafia Island, and for individuals desiring a secluded vacation, explore Fanjove Private Island.
For individuals seeking exclusivity akin to that of a film star, Mnemba Private Island is unparalleled.
The cost of Tanzania safari tours
Prices for tented, comfortable yet basic safari accommodations start at approximately $500 per person per night, while exclusive luxury options, featuring pools and modern amenities, commence at $1,200 per person per night.
Typically, safaris in Tanzania commence at approximately $4,000/£3,500 per individual for a 4-night excursion in southern Tanzania, followed by a few days at the beach.

Best Guide to Southern Tanzania Safari
In our assessment, Southern Tanzania provides the finest adventures in the country. Although it may not be a quintessential “big five safari destination,” it offers superior value lodging compared to the North and a less commercialized experience, ensuring an extraordinary time.
The Nyerere National Park, previously known as the Selous Game Reserve, is an expansive dry season park that provides opportunities for boating, walking safaris, and fly-camping, with exceptional chances of encountering Africa’s elusive wild dogs.
Ruaha National Park is a stunning red-earth reserve that offers opportunities for hikes, fly-camping, observing formidable lion prides, and encountering large buffalo herds. Ruaha hosts 10% of the global lion population, hence asserting that the wildlife here is less significant than in the north may be erroneous.
The West consists of Katavi and Mahale, which are costly to access; however, their relative inaccessibility provides a captivating experience in solitude within the wilderness, where one can trek chimpanzees in the Mahale Mountains and witness some of Tanzania’s most striking safari landscapes during Katavi’s severe dry season.
Southern safari itineraries often consist of either three or four nights in both The Selous and Ruaha. For anyone seeking a brief Tanzania safari while maximizing time on the sandy beaches, a four-night stay in Selous is a convenient and reliable choice. We recommend combining both options, if the budget permits, as this will offer various landscapes, wildlife, and a variety of safari experiences.
Only a limited number of travelers visit Katavi and Mahale due to the high cost of flights and the pricey lodges offered in the area. If you embark on the western tours in Tanzania, you may either travel from Arusha through the Serengeti or from Dar es Salaam, with a stopover of one or two nights in Ruaha. Flights operate only a few days per week, making travel to the west feasible primarily for individuals with substantial financial resources who are determined to visit and will structure their entire vacation around this objective. Disregarding logistics and costs, the experience will be astonishing once you arrive.
