Best Time to Visit Tanzania

Tanzania is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit depends on your activities.

For wildlife safaris, the dry seasons from June to October offer excellent game viewing, including the Great Migration in the Serengeti.

January to February is ideal for witnessing the calving season. For Mount Kilimanjaro treks, the best conditions are from January to March and June to October.

Beach lovers visiting Zanzibar will enjoy the dry months of December to February and June to October.

How to Get a Tanzania Visa

Obtaining a Tanzania visa is simple and convenient. You can apply online via the Tanzania eVisa Portal, at a Tanzanian embassy, or on arrival at major entry points such as airports and border crossings.

A single-entry tourist visa costs $50 for most nationalities, while US citizens pay $100 for a multiple-entry visa.

The eVisa process usually takes about 10 business days for approval.
