Tanzania is a safari destination you can visit all year round, but the timing depends on what you want to see. If your goal is to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, the best months are June to October. These months offer dry weather, clear skies, and easier game viewing in the Serengeti.
For travelers seeking a quieter experience and fewer tourists, planning your visit outside the peak migration months is ideal. Avoid the wet season from March to May, as heavy rains can make safari activities and park access difficult. Bush Lion Tours can advise you on the best routes and timing to make the most of your safari experience.
Tanzania offers the perfect combination of quality and quantity when it comes to wildlife safaris. With countless national parks, game reserves, and natural landmarks, even multiple trips may not cover everything.
Northern Safari Circuit: Includes world-famous parks like the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire.
Southern Safari Circuit: Lesser-known but equally spectacular parks like Nyerere National Park (Selous) and Ruaha.
Western Safari Circuit: For off-the-beaten-track explorers, including Katavi National Park and chimpanzee reserves near Lake Tanganyika.
For those seeking adventure beyond safaris, Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, is a must-visit. Climbing from the Tanzanian side offers a unique and challenging experience guided by our WFR-certified team.
Tanzania safaris are usually personalized rather than mass tours. Prices vary depending on group size, accommodation type, and time of year. On average, expect around US$500 per person per day for a quality experience.
Budget Tips:
Camping safaris are generally more affordable than luxury lodge safaris.
Traveling during the wet season can save costs, but may impact wildlife sightings.
High-demand months (peak migration season) come at a premium.
Bush Lion Tours works to create competitive packages while ensuring excellent service, comfortable accommodations, and safe safari experiences.
Wildlife viewing in Tanzania is exceptional. On a Northern Circuit safari, you can experience:
Serengeti National Park: Big cats, wildebeest, zebras, elephants.
Ngorongoro Crater: Rhinos, lions, hippos, and abundant wildlife.
Tarangire & Lake Manyara: Famous for elephants, flamingos, and tree-climbing lions.
Southern and Western circuits offer fewer tourists and more secluded experiences but are slightly more challenging for wildlife spotting. Bush Lion Tours ensures your safari route maximizes sightings and memorable encounters.
Tanzania is generally very safe for tourists. Urban areas like Dar es Salaam or Arusha town may have petty crime, so it’s wise to remain vigilant in cities.
On safari, the environment is controlled and secure. Bush Lion Tours provides WFR-certified guides, fully equipped safari vehicles, and first-aid kits to ensure your safety. Our guides are trained to handle emergencies professionally, making your experience smooth and secure.
Choosing the right tour operator is crucial. Look for operators with:
Experienced, certified guides (Bush Lion Tours uses WFR-certified guides).
Well-maintained 4×4 safari vehicles.
Positive reviews on platforms like TripAdvisor.
Flexible safari options, including camping, lodge safaris, or walking safaris.
Bush Lion Tours focuses on personalized service, safety, and memorable safari adventures across Tanzania.
