The perfect safari itinerary for those who love space, peace and quiet because it is a low season usually less busier, less dusty, less expensive, beautiful and green landscapes. Tanzania’s wet season in November, December, April and May is a time when everything is either in flower, about to give birth or has cubs, pups, calves or fawns and many colorful birds. This makes an interesting safari and scenically enjoyable. There’s more water and you have to work a little harder for your sightings, but East Africa’s short grass and open plains are the perfect wet season safari destination. It’s good value too; the safari lodges and camps will cost you almost half what they would in peak season a few months later. This green season safari offers real value and a memorable lifetime experience that you’ll never regret!
