Home FAQ Seasons & timing

Is green season cheaper in Tanzania?

Direct answer

Yes—green season (roughly November–May, excluding peak December holidays) delivers 20–40% lodge discounts, fewer vehicles at sightings, and TANAPA low-season entry rates (.10 vs for Tarangire and Manyara). Trade-offs include afternoon rains, muddier roads in southern parks, and dispersed wildlife compared to the June–October dry season.

Overview

Uganda combines mountain gorilla trekking, classic savannah game viewing, chimpanzee tracking, birding, and cultural experiences in a compact circuit. The right answer depends on your dates, fitness, budget, and whether you travel with a licensed operator who handles permits, road logistics, and park regulations.
