The best season to travel to Tanzania and Zanzibar depends on your preferences and the experiences you seek. Tanzania and Zanzibar offer something unique and special throughout the year, making them great destinations to visit at any time. If you are looking to witness the Great Wildlife Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras move across the Serengeti plains, then the green season is ideal. This is typically from March to May and November to December. During this time, the landscape is vibrant and lush, and wildlife sightings are abundant. If you prefer dryer weather and want to enjoy the beaches of Zanzibar, the dry season from June to October is a popular choice. This period offers sunny days, warm temperatures, and calm seas, perfect for relaxing and indulging in water activities. However, it’s important to note that even during the green season, Tanzania and Zanzibar have plenty to offer. The rain showers are usually short-lived, and the landscape becomes beautifully green. It’s an opportunity to witness nature’s transformation and enjoy the unique experiences it brings. Ultimately, the best season to travel to Tanzania and Zanzibar depends on your interests and preferences. Whether you choose the dry season or the green season, you will be treated to incredible wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality that make Tanzania and Zanzibar a year-round destination worth exploring.
