Numerous number of tourists especially wildlife lovers visit this wild continent to witness its best wildlife views and unique flora and fauna. We are mostly asked in the Tanzania Safari Faq’s about the best place to go for wildlife viewing in Africa.

  • Maasai Mara hosts thousands of zebras, wildebeest, and gazelle that make make their annual pilgrimage from the Serengeti, following the green grasses that pop up after the rains.

  • The Kalahari Desert, Botswana is a photographer’s delight with unrestrained rust-coloured valleys, sand dunes and an array of wildlife.

  • The Kruger National Park has the maximum population of the Big 5 (elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo) in Africa

  • Lastly, do not miss the Great Wildebeest Migration of Serengeti on your treasured visit to Tanzania.

The varieties of wildlife are quite similar in most of the national parks in Tanzania. It vastly depends on the Tanzania Safari Packages that you choose with Lifetime Safaris.

Tanzania offers tropical type of climate in the Tanzanian mainland whereas the coastal areas are hot and humid. The climate of the north-western highlands is cool and temperate. There are two rainy seasons one is a short season of rains are generally from October to December, and the other is the long season of rains lasting from March to June. However the central plateau tends to be dry and arid throughout the year.

Lifetime Safarissuggest you to experience Tanzania in all seasons. However the Best Time for Safari In Tanzania or for trekking Kilimanjaro or other mountains is the dry season (late June-October) as the climatic conditions are the best excellent with clear skies and very little humidity.
