F.A.Q
When is the best time to visit?
The best time to visit Ngorongoro National Park in Tanzania depends on what you're looking for:
- Dry season (June–October)The best time for wildlife viewing, with mild temperatures, little rain, and thinner vegetation that makes it easier to spot animals. However, this is the high season, so it's busy and prices are higher.
- Shoulder season (January, March, mid-June, and early November)Fewer people visit during these months, but there's a higher chance of rain.
- Low season (March–May)Fewer people visit, and prices are lower, but there's a higher chance of rain.
- Green season (November–May)Less crowded than the high season, and it's a great time to see animals. The wet season is mostly afternoon showers, but there's more rain in March, April, and May. Migratory birds return during this time.
