Seasonal Variation in Tanzania
Tanzania’s weather patterns vary greatly depending on the region and time of year. Generally, Tanzania has two main seasons: a dry season and a wet season.
Dry season (June to October): This is Tanzania’s peak tourism season and for good reason.
The weather is generally dry and sunny, with cool temperatures in the highlands and warm temperatures along the coast.
Wildlife viewing is excellent during this time, as animals gather around water sources.
This is also a great time for mountain climbing, as visibility is clear and the trails are dry.
Wet season (November to May): The wet season is characterized by heavy rainfall, which can make some areas inaccessible.
However, this is also the best time to see the Great Migration in the Serengeti.
The weather is generally warm and humid, with occasional thunderstorms.
Shoulder season (March to May, November to December): These months are considered shoulder season, as they fall in between the dry and wet seasons.
This is a good time to visit if you want to avoid crowds and take advantage of lower prices.
The weather can be unpredictable, with occasional rain showers.
