When To Visit

Best Time To Visit Queen Elizabeth National Park

The Best Time to Visit Queen Elizabeth National Park is during the dry seasons, from December to February and June to September. The weather is generally favourable, and wildlife congregates around water sources, making it an optimal period for game viewing and boat safaris. The dry season also ensures clearer trails for activities such as chimpanzee tracking.

While the wet seasons (March to May and October to November) bring lush greenery to the landscape, some trails may become challenging due to rainfall.

Our Travellers Reviews

Outstanding tour operator

I can't say enough good things about Bryson and Petit Maasai. Bryson handled our last-minute trip to Tanzania like he'd been working on it for months instead of a handful of days after we connected about a week before our family arrived.

Kilimanjaro With Petit Maasai safaris- 5 stars!!!

We book 7 days Kilimanjaro with Petit Maasai safaris after having the safari with another company and we made it with a brilliant guide to the summit. We took the Lemosho route, starting in the rain forest and approached the camp via various tents campsites.

A great experience!

We did a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania with Petit Maasai Safaris and it was a great experience! The guide and the cook were really professional and nice with us, trying to make us feel comfortable and to satisfy our requests. Thanks a lot!
