The best time to go to Tanzania-Rwanda self drive safari adventure

The beauty for whoever thinks of going on combined Rwanda and Tanzania adventure is the fact that both countries have got almost an identical weather. Therefore, the best time to visit both this great nation is the same. The peak season for the safari in Rwanda and Tanzania is during the dry season between June and September. While in Tanzania, this is the time of the Mara river crossing of the wildebeest for those looking for the great migration experience, in Rwanda, this is the best time for the mountain gorilla trekking through the hills of Volcanoes national park.

This time of the year is characterized with the high demand for the accommodations and car which leads to the hike in prices and results into limited in availability, for gorilla permit, they tend to get over as they are usually limited in number (you can consider do the gorilla trekking in Uganda in case you fail to get the permit in Rwanda). Therefore, you will be required to make your booking early to avoid any last-minute disappointment.
