Tanzania Safari Q&A
January to March is great for the calving season in the Southern Serengeti. June to October is the best time for general game viewing and witnessing the Grumeti or Mara River crossings.
Yes, it's a long day (about 3-4 hours drive each way), but very doable. We depart early to maximize your time on the crater floor.
This refers to the most popular safari route in Tanzania, including Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara.
