When it comes to exclusive game viewing, Tanzania stands out as the go-to tourist destination in Africa. Located in the eastern region of Africa, the country is renowned for the abundance of wildlife creatures roaming freely on its vast landscape and Tanzanian park reserves. With some of the rarest and dangerous creatures at your disposal and the extraordinary beachside vibes in Zanzibar, Tanzania makes every step of your trip an exceptional experience.
Embarking on a safari, especially in a place with teeming natural scenery like Tanzania comes with its price. You can either visit during the peak season when the viewing experience and wildlife activity is high or the season when activities are not much due to various natural factors. Both the high and the low safari seasons are awesome but the experiences differ. Here are both the high and low lights of going to Tanzania during peak season.
The period between late June and October is the season with heightened viewing experience and more tourists visit Tanzania. During this dry season, the animals stay closer to water sources allowing for a better viewing experience. This is also the best time to visit to witness the Great Migration.
Visiting Tanzania during peak season comes with lots of exciting activities, including:
While going on safari during peak season offers an exceptional experience, there are some downsides that are associated with visiting during this period:
The off-peak season in Tanzania has some pretty interesting features and benefits that make it popular among tourists. Some include:
Lower Rates
From hotel accommodation, game viewing and air tickets, lower rates are associated with off-peak safari season. This period is much more affordable than the peak season. So, if you are on a budget then the off-peak season can accommodate tourists.
Less Crowded/ Privacy
The Tanzanian safari parks are less crowded during the off-peak season. The lesser crowd allows for a better viewing experience. If you value privacy, then this is the best time to visit Tanzania.
Viewing Younger Wildlife
This off-peak season is calving season. This is the period when most of the wildlife creatures reproduce and so tourists can enjoy exclusive views of the young wildlife creatures.
While there may be advantages to wildlife viewing during the off-peak season, there are also factors that hinder the viewing experience
Fewer Wildlife Creature
The off-peak season comes with the challenge of viewing fewer animals as the lush vegetation and water available during the rainy season makes the animals hard to see.
Hotter weather
The low season is usually hotter, muddy, wet and humid compared to the peak season.

Due to the recent Covid 19 worldwide pandemic, to keep our guests and indeed our staff safe, we have made some changes to Safari By Z that we would like to make you aware. We believe that with careful planning and consideration by our staff and guests we can continue to provide the best hospitality services on safari. For now, this may be our new norm.
New routines:
All our staff have received full training in health and safety-related to the COVID-19 virus and are required to be extra vigilant with their personal hygiene and daily routines.
Health condition of driver-guides will be monitored for not less than a week before being assigned to take clients on safari.
City transfer and safari vehicles will be regularly disinfected before picking up clients, especially the high-touch surfaces and seats.
Our meet and greet teams at airports will still be there to accompany guests into transfer vehicles. While our vehicles are already cleaned between transfers, they will now also be disinfected between each use.
To keep social distancing, safari vehicles with 4-window seats will be redesigned to take only 2 people in the passenger cabin. Safari vehicles with 6-window seats will still be available for families/group of friends wishing to travel together in one vehicle.
The driver-guide will be at hand to oversee guests observe the recommended physical distancing at park entry gates, picnic sites, and while checking in at accommodation facilities.
Each guest will receive their own adventure kit, which includes a Wildlife Guides' Journal, mini fan and hand sanitizers, as well as a pair of binoculars – all in cleaned before each new set of guests
The driver-guide will take necessary personal protection precautions at all times. Guests are encouraged to come with their own masks;
Please be assured that all our selection of partner properties we work with have their strict COVID-19 hygiene practises in place.
Tanzania wasn't Really affected by Covid 19 to the same extent as most other countries, especially those in Europe and South America.
However, we will keep the above measures in place for your peace of mind. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to welcoming you to the Tanzania for your African safari holiday of a lifetime.
