For the best chance of animal-spotting on an East African safari, plan a trip during Tanzania's dry season from June to October. Things can feel pretty humid during March to May's long rains, so bear this in mind when planning your trip. Whatever time of year you visit, you're likely to get temperatures of 25°C or higher.
