The wet season (also called rainy season) runs from October to December and from March to June.

The pros of traveling during this wet season:

• Nature is colorful (flowers in bloom, forest and grass is green)
• The parks in North Tanzania offer good all-year wildlife viewing
• January to February is the time to see the calving in the southern Serengeti which attracts large numbers of predators
• Bird watching at its best
• The game is in good condition
• Lower rates make it a cheaper safari
• Parks are less crowded with other visitors, more intimate safari experience

If the wildebeest migration is the main reason you visit Tanzania, it is important to know where the herds are at what time.
