Tanzania's climate varies by region and altitude, making it essential to plan your visit according to the activities you wish to enjoy. The optimal time for wildlife viewing, including the Great Migration in the Serengeti, is during the dry season from June to October when animals congregate around water sources.
If you’re considering a beach holiday in Zanzibar, the dry season is also the best time to go, providing warm, sunny weather and calm seas ideal for diving and snorkeling. The rainy season, which lasts from March to May, brings fewer tourists and lower prices, but some roads and parks may become challenging to access due to flooding.
For those interested in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, the best months are from January to March and June to October, as these periods typically offer the most stable weather conditions. However, be prepared for cold nights at higher altitudes, even during these favorable months.
