When Is the Best Time to Visit Tanzania’s Southern Circuit?

Because the southern circuit is dominated by giant, sprawling parks and long stretches of grassland, there is a very well-defined time of when is best to visit – the dry season. From June to October each year, there is an absence of rain and the land dries up, leaving a brown, parched landscape.

Far from being featureless, this means that it is the best time to see animals in the wild. Because of the lack of water, the wildlife tend to congregate around watering holes and rivers, meaning there are more of them in a smaller, predictable space.

The below chart will help you decide when will be the best time for you to visit Tanzania’s Southern Circuit.
