What is the best time to visit or travel to Tanzania ( Tanganyika and Zanzibar )?

The best time to travel to Tanzania largely depends on your interests and the specific activities you plan to engage in. Tanzania is a year-round destination, but the weather patterns can vary significantly throughout the year, so it's important to consider this when planning your trip

Generally, the best time to visit Tanzania is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. During this time, the weather is dry and sunny, making it the perfect time for wildlife viewing in Tanzania's national parks and reserves such as Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Selous.

Another good time to visit Tanzania is during the short dry season that occurs between January and February. This is a great time to witness the wildebeest calving season in the Serengeti.

However, if you're interested in seeing the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras, then the best time to visit Tanzania is between November and May. During this time, the herds of wildebeest and zebras migrate from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara in Kenya.

If you're planning to go trekking in the mountains, such as Mount Kilimanjaro or the Usambara and Uluguru Mountains, the best time to visit Tanzania is during the dry season, from June to October and from December to February

Ultimately, the best time to travel to Tanzania will depend on your interests and preferences. It's always a good idea to research your chosen destination in advance and to consult with a travel agent or tour operator to plan your trip accordingly
