Best Time to Visit Tanzania for Safari

January Highlights:

  • Excellent big game viewing continues across Tanzania’s major parks like Serengeti, Tarangire, and Ngorongoro during the dry season.

  • The Southern Serengeti comes alive with the Wildebeest calving season, a dramatic wildlife event attracting predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.

  • Birdwatching is phenomenal, with migratory species in full display, especially in areas like Lake Manyara and Arusha National Park.

  • Lush landscapes from the short rains offer spectacular scenery with fewer tourists, making it a great time for photographers.

  • Clear skies and moderate temperatures make it ideal for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the Marangu or Machame routes.

  • Off-the-beaten-path parks like Ruaha and Selous (Nyerere) offer crowd-free game drives and wild, remote experiences.

Awesome Experience Lewis did a great job organizing the safari, and it was outstanding. We saw so many lions, elephants, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, hyena, and even a leopard in the Serengeti. The guides were great, the delicious food was prepared for us, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. Thank you Lewis! 10/10

With Glitzy Safari, and specially with Lewis we had such a great experience. It’s local tour operator, so important. I discovered Lewis, who is one of the tour operators, when I booked for a stay at Meru Hostel in Arusha. One of my dreams was seeing Ngorongoro. So I asked what can U offer me for Ngorongoro and Tarangire ? And immediately I’ve a proposal. and it was a really good proposal, so I answered right away. I really don’t regret it. We spent with my friend two wonderful days. First we went to Tarangire NP, then we spent the night not far from Ngorongoro, in a lodge, Fig Tree Lodge and Campsite, where the food and room were very good. The 2nd day, direction Ngorongoro. U can’t imagine how I was happy being in this gorgeous caldera. An experience I will never forget all my life. Our guide was so kind with us, he made everything for us and participated to this beautiful moment. We spent maybe 4 hours in the caldera. Lewis we also booked a excursion in a Chagga village. This tribe is living around Kilimanjaro. Their agriculture is based on ancestral organic fertilization where they mixed Bananas trees, Coffee plants and small other small plant ( sorry I don’t remember the name). With the local guide, we first go to Materuni waterfalls, on the foot of Kilimanjaro. Nice walk on a little path, between farms. Then we went back to our family’s guide, where we learned how make our coffee. For myself, who like so much coffee, it was so great. As U can read, we had such a nice experience with Glitzy Safari. Thank U so much Lewis.

Great experience- especially Kili Trek The trip to Terengire was very good, but we liked even better the trek to Kilimanjaro organised by Lewis (owner of the company). It was an outstanding experience. Moreover- the owner Lewis is a great person and will help you with many problems you might encounter while being in Africa. Highly recommend booking your trip with Glitzy Safaris/ Lewis.
