The Best Time to Visit Ngorongoro Crater for a Luxury Safari

Plan a Luxury Ngorongoro Crater Safari at the best time

The best time to visit Ngorongoro is throughout the year, but there are the best months you can visit and enjoy sighting wildlife to the maximum. Below is a seasonal guide of when we recommend visiting Ngorongoro for your Tanzania Safari.

Low Season

1st April to 1st June

In April, May, and June, Ngorongoro experiences high rainfall, making roads inaccessible. Wildlife might be scarce, since they are in the lush bushes, and also lots of water is available in hidden water pans, where it’s not accessible by vehicles.   

High Season

1st October to 1st June 

In January, February, and March, Ngorongoro expects high numbers of visitors due to the good weather conditions and abundance of wildlife. This period is hot and dry, but lush green from the short rains in November and December. It’s also a better time to visit for the Wildebeest Calving if you visit Ngorongoro in February and March.

Peak Season

1st June to 1st September

The months of June, July, August, and September are mostly the busiest in Ngorongoro and Tanzania. This coincides with the wildebeest migration in Serengeti. The season is always dry and hot, as well as best for wildlife game drives.
