June to October is the dry classic: easy game viewing, comfortable lodge weather and strong predator sightings. It is also the busiest window, so camp choice matters.
Green season brings dramatic skies, fewer vehicles and excellent birding. Southern parks such as Ruaha and Nyerere reward travellers who want wilderness over famous names.
A Zanzibar or coastal ending still works after safari, provided you leave enough recovery time between the last game drive and the first beach breakfast.
