Best Time To Travel

Generally the best time to visit Ethiopia and Keya is between October and June, when it is the dry season. Rains tend to stop in early October, meaning afterwards the highlands are lush and green – perfect for trekking among pretty wildflowers that have sprung up. Be sure to bring a sweater all year round due to Ethiopia’s elevation.

General game viewing in Tanzania is at its peak during the June to October dry season but the best time to go to Tanzania for the Serengeti wildebeest migration is between November and August.

Zanzibar is on the coast is always hot and humid with Temperatures in the low 30’s all year round, however the cooling off shore breeze makes it comfortable.
