Tanzania Weather & Climate

Tanzania is normally hot throughout the year and is humid at the coast and dry on the central plateau. Heavy rainfall lasts from March to June and can make untarmarked road travel difficult. The hot, dry weather in January and February attracts the most tourists.

The best time to visit the Serengeti is from January to March when the grazers are calving and there are plenty of lion to see, or to witness the wildebeest migration to and from Kenya which occurs at the onset of the dry season and again with the first rains, usually the beginning of June and mid-November.

Tanzania lies close to the equator that seasonal variations in temperature are not that extreme. The elevation in the north is such that it doesn't ever get too hot. As you approach the top of Kilimanjaro, temperatures can be well below freezing year-round, especially at night. Click here to view the current weather info in tanzania.

Many of the northern wildlife reserves are about 10 degrees F/5 degrees C cooler year-round than elsewhere. Take along a heavy sweater and a windbreaker or jacket.
