Top Attraction in Tanzania

The Great Migration Trail

The migration occurs year-round, but the peak time is from July to October on the Serengeti plains. This is when you can witness the dramatic river crossings, where wildebeests bravely navigate waters teeming with crocodiles.

The Masai Tribe

The Maasai have been a prominent tribe in Tanzania and Kenya for centuries, known for their tall stature and distinctive traditions. They maintain a semi-nomadic lifestyle, deeply rooted in their cattle-herding heritage and rich cultural rituals. Visitors can explore Maasai villages to experience their way of life and vibrant ceremonies

The Pink Seas of Flamingos

Every year from November to February, the rainy season brings warmer temperatures, causing algae in the lakes to flourish, attracting flamingos for feeding. While it’s the low season for most tourists, this period is a favorite for bird watchers eager to witness the spectacular sight of pink flamingo gatherings.

The Deadly Lake Natron

Known as the Red Lake, Lake Natron harbors no life due to its extremely high alkalinity. Local myths say that the lake kills any living thing that enters its waters. This inhospitable environment, combined with high temperatures and salt content, creates a stark but uniquely haunting landscape, especially renowned for its role in the preservation of deceased animals that wash ashore.

Luxury Wildlife Safari

Enjoy a year-round wildlife safari, although we advise against traveling during the rainy season. However, this period might be the perfect time to take advantage of promotions and offers at luxury lodges. Experience unparalleled comfort and exceptional wildlife sightings in some of the most exclusive settings.

Travel Tips

For Visiting Tanzania

Choose the Best Region for Your Schedule:

Sometimes, you might not be able to travel at the ideal time due to work or holidays. That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy Tanzania. Picking the right experiences for the month you plan to travel is crucial. It’s about having realistic expectations and making the most of your visit.

Book 6 months in advance

If you want to see the wildebeest migration, it’s wise to book six months ahead. Luxury lodges offer fewer rooms to keep trips exclusive, and flights on small planes, like the Cessna, which only seat up to 12 people, sell out quickly.

FAQ

When is the best time to see animal migration?

The best time to witness the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti Plains is from July to early October. This period is the peak season, so lodge availability is limited and prices are higher.

Where should I stay to see wildebeest river crossings like in documentaries?

To best experience a wildebeest river crossing as shown in documentaries, it’s advisable to stay in North Serengeti close to the Mara River. These crossings are filmed over two months and the size and timing of daily crossings can vary greatly. Note that witnessing a crossing is subject to luck and the duration of your stay, as nature is unpredictable. Staying longer can improve your chances of seeing this spectacular event.

Can I bring children?

Should I choose Tanzania or Kenya for the animal migration?

The wildebeest migration occurs between Tanzania and Kenya. In Tanzania, it’s best from July to October, and in Kenya, from September to October. If your schedule allows, you can visit both countries, though it will be more costly and require a longer trip.

 

Who is this trip ideal for?

This adventure is great for wildlife enthusiasts and those seeking an adventure. Families should consider that children must be over 10 years old due to the length of game drives. For those new to safaris, South Africa might be a better choice for families with younger children. Couples will find these safaris particularly rewarding.
