Best Time to Visit
You can enjoy this tour all year. However, each season offers different advantages.
Dry Season (June – October) – Best for Wildlife Viewing
During this period, animals gather near water sources. As a result, game viewing becomes easier in Mikumi National Park. In addition, weather conditions remain comfortable for sightseeing in Bagamoyo.
Green Season (November – May) – Best for Scenic Beauty
This season brings lush landscapes and fewer tourists. Meanwhile, birdlife increases and the scenery becomes vibrant. Light rains refresh the environment without affecting travel.
Our Recommendation:
For the best wildlife experience, visit between June and September. For greener landscapes and quieter cultural tours, choose March to May.
