The weather is dry and sunny, making it ideal for wildlife spotting and outdoor activities. <strong>November to March:</strong> This is the wet season, characterized by rainfall and lush vegetation. While the landscape is stunning, visibility can be reduced due to rain showers and dust. However, this period offers a unique opportunity to witness the Great Migration as the herds move through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Ultimately, the best time to visit depends on your priorities: If you prioritize wildlife viewing and clear skies: The dry season is the best choice. If you prefer fewer crowds and lush landscapes: The wet season can be a rewarding experience. No matter when you choose to visit, you're sure to have an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania. </code></pre> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="skeleton-loader-container"> </div> <div class="response-footer gap complete"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="response-container-footer ng-tns-c3219058666-222"> <div class="actions-container-v2 ng-tns-c3440615868-226"> <div class="buttons-container-v2 ng-tns-c3440615868-226 ng-star-inserted"> <div class="thumbs-up-animation-container ng-tns-c3440615868-226 ng-star-inserted" hidden=""> </div> <div class="thumbs-down-animation-container ng-tns-c3440615868-226 ng-star-inserted" hidden=""> </div> <div class="menu-button-wrapper ng-tns-c3440615868-226 ng-star-inserted"> </div> <div class="menu-button-wrapper ng-tns-c3440615868-226 ng-star-inserted"> <div class="more-menu-button-container ng-tns-c3440615868-226 ng-star-inserted"> </div> </div> <div class="spacer ng-tns-c3440615868-226 ng-star-inserted"> </div> </div> </div> </div>
