Though Tanzania is suitable for year-round game viewing, you will just not see the same number of animals every time. It can vary from time to time followed by the weather.

Tanzania is also an excellent bird-watching destination in the whole of Africa. There are around 1150 bird species introduced in Tanzania. You can witness the different colorful birds year-round but birdwatching is at its best from November to April (rainy season).

When you think about the Tanzania Safari Packages, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro must come to your mind at some point. This is an adventurous journey and leaves you with great experiences.
