October in Tanzania is a month that summarizes the quintessence of the dry season. It offers travellers an unrivalled opportunity to witness the breathtaking beauty of the country's diverse landscapes and wildlife. The safari experiences in Tanzania during October are marked by the Great Migration's grand finale, as millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the Serengeti plains in search of fresh grazing grounds. From thrilling game drives to exclusive encounters, October promises an adventure like no other. It is the period that we greatly recommend to visitors where every moment is a stroke of genius in the masterpiece that is the wilderness of Tanzania.
October marks the final chance of the year to visit Tanzania in a properly dry climate. During the first few weeks of the month, visitors will likely experience the tail end of the long dry season. This is the season that has been going on since late May or early June.
With around 8 to 9 hours of daylight each day, this glowing framework sets the stage for thrilling outdoor activities and wildlife encounters.
