January to March: This is an exciting period for wildlife viewing, particularly in the southern Serengeti and Ndutu region during the wildebeest calving season. Travelers interested in calving may need a customized route.
April to May: The rainy season brings green landscapes, beautiful scenery, and fewer visitors in some safari areas. Wildlife viewing remains possible, although road conditions may be challenging.
