Discover the Wild Heart of Africa in Full Bloom — April & May
Often referred to as the “rainy season,” the months of April and May in Tanzania are better known among seasoned safari-goers as the Green Season, a time when the landscapes come alive in a symphony of lush color, solitude, and serenity. For those seeking exclusivity, authenticity, and nature at its most dramatic, this is the perfect time to journey into the wild.
A Canvas of Life and Color
This is not just the rainy season, it’s the season of rebirth and renewal. After the short rains of March, the plains of the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and beyond transform into vibrant emerald carpets. Cloud-dappled skies and golden afternoon light create breathtaking backdrops for photographers and nature lovers alike.
Far from being disruptive, the rains typically arrive as brief showers in the late afternoon, refreshing the earth without impeding your game drives. With fewer tourists around, you’ll often find yourself in pristine wilderness completely alone, surrounded only by the sights and sounds of the savannah.
Wildlife in Its Element
Thanks to the abundance of water and fresh vegetation, wildlife disperses widely, offering exceptional opportunities to witness animals in their most relaxed, natural behavior. You’ll also spot the young calves, foals, and cubs born during the birthing season just weeks earlier, clumsy, curious, and completely captivating.
From the elegant giraffes grazing in solitude to flamingos dotting the flooded pans, from herds of elephants wandering freely to the songs of migratory birds, the Green Season is nature unfiltered, intimate, and raw.
