Tanzania Safari in August – Peak Wildlife Adventures with Nurtured Wildlife Safaris

August is one of the best months to visit Tanzania — a time when the wilderness comes alive, wildlife is at its most visible, and the weather is perfect for exploring both northern and southern safari circuits. With Nurtured Wildlife Safaris, you’ll enjoy a tailor-made experience that brings you closer to nature, comfort, and adventure in equal measure.

Weather in Tanzania in August

August falls in the middle of Tanzania’s dry season (June to October).

• Temperature: Days are warm (25–30°C), and nights can be cooler (12–18°C), especially in highlands like Ngorongoro.

• Rain: Virtually no rainfall, making it an ideal time for wildlife viewing.

• Visibility: Dry grass and fewer water sources concentrate animals around rivers and watering holes — perfect for photographers and wildlife enthusiasts.

This comfortable, sunny climate makes August one of the busiest and most rewarding months for safaris.

Best Parks and Circuits to Visit in August

1. Northern Circuit

The northern circuit is at its finest in August.

• Serengeti National Park: Witness the Great Wildebeest Migration in full action as millions of wildebeests and zebras cross the Mara River — one of nature’s greatest spectacles.

• Ngorongoro Crater: Enjoy breathtaking landscapes and high chances of spotting lions, elephants, rhinos, and flamingos in the crater floor.

• Tarangire National Park: Famous for its huge elephant herds and baobab-dotted landscapes, Tarangire becomes a sanctuary for wildlife as the park’s river remains one of the few water sources.

2. Southern Circuit

For travelers seeking a quieter and more intimate safari experience:

• Ruaha National Park: The dry season draws thousands of animals to the Great Ruaha River — perfect for predators like lions and leopards.

• Nyerere National Park (Selous): Offers diverse safari experiences including boat safaris, walking safaris, and classic game drives.
