When Is the Best Time to See the Big Five?
Tanzania offers wildlife viewing throughout the year. However, the dry season is particularly popular because animals often concentrate around water sources and vegetation becomes less dense.
The Serengeti's Great Wildebeest Migration can add another spectacular dimension to your safari, with huge herds moving through the ecosystem and predators following their movements.
Remember that wildlife is wild and sightings can never be guaranteed. That's part of what makes every safari unique.
