The Best Time for Zanzibar Holidays:

Tanzania Safari in Summer

Summer is the best time for a Zanzibar holiday and Tanzania safari combined. From June to August, ideal dry season weather provides perfect conditions for beach vacations and spectacular wildlife viewing as large herds migrate northward.

Zanzibar Holiday in Summer – The Best Months June to August

Tanzania in Transition:

June & July between the dry season and peak safari season

Landscape in transition – beginning of the dry season

The dry season begins in Tanzania in June and July: vegetation thins out and water sources become scarcer. As a result, animals increasingly gather at rivers and water holes – perfect conditions for wildlife viewing.

Wildlife on the move

The large herds of animals, including zebras and wildebeests, are now moving further north – an impressive start to the great migration. At the same time, this offers the best opportunities to observe big cats hunting, as prey is easier to track down.

Safari high season with clear conditions

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.
