What is the weather in Tanzania?

Tanzania experiences a varied climate due to its diverse geographical features, including coastal areas, highlands, and the expansive plains of the Serengeti. Generally, Tanzania has two main seasons: the dry season and the wet season.

Dry Season (June to October):

• This period is considered the best time to visit Tanzania, particularly for wildlife safaris.

• The weather is typically dry, with minimal rainfall and lower humidity levels.

• Daytime temperatures are warm to hot, ranging from 77°F to 86°F (25°C to 30°C), making it comfortable for outdoor activities.

• This season is ideal for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and exploring the beaches of Zanzibar.

Short Rainy Season (November to December):

• This transitional period sees short bursts of rain, with the landscape turning lush and green.

• Wildlife is still abundant, and it's a good time to visit before the peak of the heavy rains.

Long Rainy Season (March to May):

• This is the wettest time of the year, characterized by heavy rainfall and high humidity.

• The temperatures remain warm, but the incessant rain may affect road conditions and make some areas inaccessible.

• Despite the rain, this season can be rewarding for birdwatching and witnessing the birth of wildlife as the landscape flourishes.

Every season will have its own beauty and its own significant events and festivals; therefore, travelers can visit Tanzania at any time of the year depending on your interests.
