When to go

When is your Tanzania?

Peak
June – October
The Long Dry Season

Clear skies, thinning grass and animals gathered at water — the easiest game viewing of the year. The migration is in the northern Serengeti and the Mara river crossings run from about July. Kilimanjaro is at its driest. Also the busiest and most expensive months, and camps in the north fill early.

Calving
January – February
The Short Dry Season

The wildebeest are on the southern Serengeti plains around Ndutu and calve in their hundreds of thousands, with every predator in attendance. Warm, green and less crowded than the northern-hemisphere summer. A good Kilimanjaro window, and Zanzibar is hot and dry.

Short Rains
November – December
Afternoon Showers, Fewer People

Brief storms, mostly in the afternoon, that rarely spoil a game drive. The herds are moving south through the central Serengeti, the parks are green again and the rates are lower — until the Christmas fortnight, which is peak again.

Long Rains
March – May
The Green Season

The heaviest rain of the year, especially April and May. Roads soften, some camps and many Zanzibar hotels close, and the mountain is wet. In return the country is at its greenest and emptiest, and the prices that stay open are the lowest of the year.

Before you book

Tanzania visa — what you need to know

Indian passport holders need a visa for Tanzania — India is expressly excluded from the Commonwealth exemption. For tourism the visa is the Ordinary (single entry) visa, applied for through the Tanzania Immigration e-visa portal before you travel, and the Tanzania Immigration e-visa portal also lists Indian nationals as eligible for a visa on arrival. One visa covers both the mainland and Zanzibar.

Fee and processing, as the authorities publish them Indian passport holders need a visa for Tanzania, and the visa for tourism is the Ordinary (single entry) visa. The Tanzania Immigration e-visa portal publishes the Ordinary Visa fee as 50 US dollars with a validity of up to 90 days, lists Indian nationals as eligible for both the online and the on-arrival visa, and recommends applying online. the High Commission of Tanzania in New Delhi repeats the 50-dollar general rate but its fee table for the Ordinary/Tourist visa lists Indian citizens at 100 US dollars for a multiple-entry visa valid one year with 90 days per stay. Both are official, so budget on the figure that belongs to the channel you use and confirm it when you apply. On timing, the portal states that applications are processed within ten days outside the referral category; the High Commission states a minimum of five working days for applications lodged with it, with paid next-day and same-day services. Plan against ten days, and longer if an interview is requested. A Visa Grant Notice is not a final authority to enter — the officer at the entry point decides — and a return ticket must be shown on arrival. One visa covers Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar. Fees and timeframes are set by the authorities and change; confirm both when you apply. Final visa decisions remain with the relevant authorities.

Good to Know

Frequently asked

Yes. India is expressly excluded from Tanzania's Commonwealth visa exemption. Tourists apply for the Ordinary (single entry) visa through the Tanzania Immigration e-visa portal, which also lists Indian nationals as eligible for a visa on arrival but recommends applying online. One visa covers both the mainland and Zanzibar. The portal publishes the Ordinary visa fee as 50 US dollars for up to 90 days; the High Commission of Tanzania in New Delhi's fee table separately lists Indian citizens at 100 US dollars for a one-year multiple-entry visa. Confirm the fee for the channel you use when you apply. Final visa decisions remain with the relevant authorities.
The Tanzania Immigration e-visa portal states that applications are processed within ten days, apart from the referral category, which does not include Indian nationals. The High Commission of Tanzania in New Delhi states a minimum of five working days for applications lodged with it, with paid next-day and same-day options. Plan against ten days, do not book non-refundable flights before the grant notice arrives, and remember that the grant notice is not itself the entry decision — the officer at the airport makes that, and you must show a return ticket.
June to October is the long dry season — the clearest skies, the easiest game viewing and, from about July, the migration's river crossings in the northern Serengeti. January and February are the calving season on the southern plains, warm and green with fewer people. November and early December bring short afternoon rains and lower rates. March to May is the long rains, when roads soften and many camps and Zanzibar hotels close. Kilimanjaro is best in either dry window.
Ten to twelve nights is the comfortable first trip: five to seven on the northern circuit — Tarangire, the Ngorongoro crater and the Serengeti — and three to five on Zanzibar. A safari alone works in six or seven nights. Adding Kilimanjaro needs seven to nine more days on the mountain, plus a rest day, so a climb-and-safari-and-beach trip is closer to three weeks.
Unusually good for a safari country. Tanzania has a long-established Indian-origin community, so chapati, bhajia, pilau, dal and rice are everyday food rather than special orders, and Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Stone Town have Indian-run restaurants. Safari lodges cook for vegetarian and Jain diets when told in advance — tell your travel designer at booking, not at the lodge.
Yes — it is the most common Tanzanian itinerary and the reason many Indian travellers choose Tanzania over Kenya. Scheduled light aircraft fly from the Serengeti airstrips to Zanzibar in an afternoon, so the day you leave the bush you are on the beach. The usual shape is Kilimanjaro Airport in, the northern circuit by road, a flight to Zanzibar, and home from Zanzibar or Dar es Salaam.
Safari areas and lodges are very secure, and Zanzibar's resorts and Stone Town are used to visitors. In Dar es Salaam and Arusha take ordinary big-city care — use hotel taxis or ride apps at night and keep valuables out of sight. Malaria is present in most of the country below the highlands, so see a travel doctor before you go. Check your government's current travel advice before you travel.
