Tanzania in Transition:
August & September between cool clarity and animal abundance
Clear visibility and fresh morning air
August and September bring cool nights and pleasantly warm days – the climate is dry and visibility is crystal clear. These conditions make safaris particularly comfortable and photogenic.
Abundance of wildlife along water sources
The dry season has reached its peak, and many animals are concentrated around the last remaining water sources. This offers spectacular opportunities to observe herds of elephants, big cats, and other wildlife in high density.
Migration in the north – pure nature in the Serengeti
Cool nights and sunny days create a pleasant climate, ideal for game drives early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Visibility is particularly clear at this time of year – photographers and nature lovers will be in their element.
Why is Autumn the best time to travel to Zanzibar Tanzania?
Perfect weather
It is the dry season. The days are sunny, the air is clear, and there is hardly any rain.
Excellent wildlife viewing
The vegetation is less dense, and the animals gather at the watering holes, making them easier to spot.
Great Migration
In August and September, the famous crossing of the Mara River by wildebeests takes place in the northern Serengeti.
Pleasant temperatures
It is warm during the day and cool at night, ideal for safaris.
