Best time to go for Safaris in Tanzania

The best time for Camping Safaris in Tanzania is during the dry season which is from June to December. During this months game viewing is excellent because grasses are shot which allow a clear sightseeing. In some parks herds of animals graze along the river  banks and waterholes where there is remaining green grass and water. Predators such as lions and hyenas also follow the herds to these areas. Game drives during this time is very easy as all animals can be spotted within a small area.

From January to March which is the short rainy season, you can still go for camping safari although you should expect to slip along the road in some areas. The situation become difficult during the heavy rainy seasons which is April and May. In this months grasses are tall and they block the sights which makes impossible to spot animals. Some areas of the parks are completely inaccessible due to bad road conditions which cause camps and lodges to be closed till dry season.
