Tarangire National Park Best Time To Visit
Philip is the author of the Bradt guidebook to Tanzania.
July to November is the best time for wildlife viewing in Tarangire National Park. This coincides more or less with the middle and end of the Dry season. Many animals migrate out of the park during the Wet season (November to May), when wildlife viewing is considerably less productive.
June to October Dry Season

-
Wildlife is easier to spot because the bush thins out
-

-
There are fewer mosquitoes and malaria risk is lower
-
Warm clothing is essential from June to August since morning game drives are cold
-
The park is crowded
November to May Wet Season
-
The vegetation is lovely and green
-
Rates may be lower because it is low season
-
It is prime bird-watching time since migratory birds are present
-
Many animals migrate out of the park and wildlife viewing is not as good as in the Dry season
