Best Time to Stay at Pamoja Farm Villa

The lodge is open year-round. But as a rule of thumb, June to October is always the best time for wildlife safaris. In parks like Tarangire and Lake Manyara, animals gather around a few remaining water sources. So, it becomes much easier to view them.

This time also sees low rainfall and clearer skies. Thin vegetation in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire also makes it easy to see through. The downsides are large crowds, especially in world-famous destinations, and inflated prices.
