The good news is that a Safari from Zanzibar with a German-speaking guide is possible all year round — but some months offer unique advantages depending on what you want to experience.
Below is a clear, helpful breakdown tailored specifically for the DACH market:
☀️ June to October — The Best Time for Classic Safari Viewing
Ideal for: First-time safari guests, families, seniors, honeymooners.
This is Tanzania’s dry season, and wildlife viewing is at its peak. German travellers often prefer these months because the conditions are predictable, comfortable, and perfect for photography.
Why this period is ideal:
-
Animals gather around water sources → easy to spot
-
Clear skies and low humidity
-
Fewer mosquitoes

Excellent visibility for photos

Lush scenery
-
Fewer crowds in January–February
German guests often appreciate this season for its mix of comfortable temperatures and exceptional wildlife events.

Lodge prices are lower
-
Landscapes are green and vibrant
-
Fewer tourists
-
Dramatic skies for photography
While afternoon showers are possible, wildlife viewing is still good in many parks — and a German-speaking guide helps you maximise each opportunity.
