  Park permits run 24 hours

  1 jan – 31 decBoka tidigt

  The conservation fee is valid for twenty-four hours from entry and the rangers check on the way out; overstaying buys another full day, and a day-trip permit is shorter again. It is why itineraries are built around gate times, not sunsets. Källa ↗

  Wildebeest calving

  15 jan – 15 mar · vanligtvisDjurlivssäsongBoka tidigt

  Close to half a million calves drop in a three-week burst on the short-grass plains around Ndutu, and every predator in the ecosystem is there for it. The exact fortnight moves with the rains, so camps sell the whole window.

  Long rains and green season

  15 mar – 31 majMonsunStängningar

  It rarely rains all day, but it rains most days, the black cotton soil softens and the western corridor tracks get difficult. Some of the smaller mobile camps shut entirely for April and May; the ones that stay open are half price.

  Low-season park fees

  15 mar – 15 maj

  TANAPA's low season runs 15 March to 15 May and the conservation fee drops with it, which on a week inside the park is a real difference once the daily fees are stacked up. Rates are usually revised each July. Källa ↗

  Dry season game viewing

  15 jun – 15 oktTrångt

  The grass is down, the water is concentrated into a handful of rivers and pools, and animals are easier to find here than at any other time. It is also when every camp is full and rates sit at their annual high.

  The herds bank up on the south side and go over in a rush that may happen twice in a morning or not at all that week. Crossings run north in July and August and back south in October; the Kogatende camps book a year out.

  Short rains

  1 nov – 15 dec · vanligtvisMonsun

  A month or so of afternoon showers that green the plains and knock five months of dust out of the air. The herds drift back south through it, the park is quiet, and the light is the best of the year for photographs.

  Migrant birding season

  15 nov – 15 apr · vanligtvisFågelsäsong

  European and Asian migrants arrive with the short rains and stay until April, on top of the residents in breeding plumage. The wet months are the ones birders choose and the game drivers avoid.

  Camps charge festive rates and impose minimum stays over the fortnight, and the good ones are taken a year out. It falls between the rains, so the game viewing does not justify the premium. Källa ↗
