When Are The Best Times For Your Africa Safari Holiday In Tanzania, South Africa, Kenya, Botswana or any of a number of other African safari countries?

This is a question a lot of our friends ask us. Why? Well, my wife is a local South African and we have taken more than 80 African safaris since moving to South Africa in 1993. We�ve taken our Africa safaris during all times of year � low season, shoulder season, high season as well as peak season. And we have taken Botswana safaris, Namibia safaris, South Africa safaris, Zambia safaris, Zimbabwe safaris, Kenya safaris, Tanzania safaris.

In addition to the African wildlife safaris, we have enjoyed African island vacations � to places like Zanzibar, Mauritius, Mozambique's unspoiled Quirimbas Islands � in peak season & off season as well. So we will now tell you what we tell our friends!

"I never knew of a morning in Africa
when I woke that I was not happy"
Ernest Hemingway

Here is what we tell our friends, it is based on our first hand experience in Africa.
The truth is that most countries in Africa are a year round destination. This is especially true of Tanzania. The diversity of climate and game parks means that you can have a wonderful African safari or vacation virtually anytime of year. But there are �peak seasons� and �low seasons�. And these seasons affect the availability of deals for your African safari.

This guide to Tanzania's seasons & weather is followed by a game viewing guide to Tanzania's safari parks. Use them to help you discover the best time for your African safari holiday in Tanzania. We also give you a link to find similar guides for other African safari countries.
