🌧️ Why Rainy Season Safaris Can Be Rewarding in Tanzania

Many travelers think the rainy season isn’t the best time for safari, but in Tanzania, it can be surprisingly rewarding. From March to May and again in November, the landscapes come alive with fresh green grass, dramatic skies, and new life everywhere.

During this time, wildlife is still abundant. In fact, it’s the calving season in the southern Serengeti, where thousands of wildebeest give birth attracting predators and offering unforgettable scenes of nature’s cycle. Birdwatchers also love the rainy months as migratory birds arrive, filling the parks with color and song.

Another big advantage, Fewer tourists and lower rates. Lodges and camps offer great deals, and game drives feel more private and relaxed. The air is clear, the light is soft, and photography is spectacular.
