Tanzania

Two million wildebeest, hundreds of big cats, the world’s tallest free standing mountain and one of the most sought after coastal destinations in the world, Tanzania has a startling amount to offer.

Experience

There is a definite argument to be made that Tanzania has the most diverse safari options of any country on the continent. Here not only can you see all the classic, bucket list wildlife - the Big Five can be seen on an afternoon game drive in the right place and calving season for the wildebeest migration is an unrivalled spectacle, but you can also trek chimpanzees on the sandy shores of Lake Tanganyika, snorkel your way round the Zanzibar islands or head to the lesser known Selous and Ruaha for a truly off-grid, wildlife first safari.

Will leads a group safari here every March, following the wildebeest herds as they head north and then over to Namiri Plains in the eastern Serengeti to photograph the now famous rock climbing lions.

Best Time to Visit

Being an equatorial country temperatures in Tanzania remain fairly consistent year round and you can expect sunshine on most days of the year. That said it is the rain that will have the greatest effect on your safari and should be a major consideration when planning a trip to Tanzania, as are experiences like The Great Migration which, while phenomenal, will have a serious effect on tourist numbers and when to visit certain areas.

January and February bring warm, dry weather between the two rainy seasons and wildebeest calving season begins at the migrations southern most point, with 300,000 calves born in the space of a fortnight. Perfect time for all those wanting to see a little carnage on their safari as the predators follow the herds and pick off the slow and the frail.
