December Tanzania in December Weather and landscape in December December in Tanzania marks the transition into the short rainy season, which extends from November through December. While not yet the true green season, December experiences periodic rainstorms, typically occurring in the early afternoon. These showers are often brief, giving way to clear blue skies and optimal conditions for photography. The rainfall in December rejuvenates the landscape, transforming it into a lush and verdant paradise. This respite from the constant sun of the long dry season brings about a welcome renewal of the environment. Temperatures during this time are moderate, with highs reaching around 28°C and lows dropping to approximately 16°C. Additionally, the humidity brought by the rain can contribute to warmer conditions. Accommodation in December December presents a clear division in terms of accommodation pricing and availability in Tanzania, driven by tourism patterns and holiday seasons. The first two weeks of December constitute a high season, characterized by moderate tourism levels due to the onset of rain. However, the latter half of December experiences a surge in visitors. During the last two weeks of December, accommodation becomes highly sought after, primarily due to the holiday season and associated time off. As a result, availability becomes limited, and prices are typically raised to meet the high demand during this peak season. If you’re considering visiting Tanzania over Christmas or New Year, it is essential to plan well in advance and secure bookings early to avoid disappointment. Visiting the Northern Circuit of Tanzania in December The great wildebeest migration in December As the seasonal rains commence, signaling the end of the trek that began in October, the Great Migration makes its final journey from north to south through the Serengeti. Seeking new food sources, the herd traverses the central Serengeti before arriving at the lush short grass plains of the southern Serengeti. In this fertile region, abundant with food and water, the wildebeests find respite and establish temporary settlements in Ndutu and the southern Serengeti. Here, they graze and give birth to calves, replenishing their strength after the arduous journey. However, life remains fraught with challenges as cunning predators lurk nearby, ready to prey on vulnerable targets amidst the chaos of calving season. Climbing mount Kilimanjaro in December December brings some unpredictability to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, as the short rainy season often extends into this month.

However, Kilimanjaro is well-equipped to handle rainy conditions, and those who embark on the climb in December are often rewarded with a greater sense of achievement. Game drives, wildlife and birds in December In Tanzania’s northern circuit, the wildlife is currently experiencing a period of abundant green growth and ample food supply thanks to the seasonal rains in December.

November

Novermber Tanzania in November Weather and landscape in November November signifies the definitive conclusion of Tanzania’s lengthy dry season. As October draws to a close, the weather undergoes a significant shift, heralding the return of rainfall to the parched land. Initially, these rains manifest as brief, overnight storms that provide much-needed moisture, revitalizing the landscape and settling the dust. Despite being considered an underrated month for tourism, November offers a unique opportunity to witness the transformative effects of the changing seasons firsthand. As the land transitions from dry to wet, travelers have the chance to observe the gradual greening of the landscape and the rejuvenation of vegetation. One of the distinct advantages of visiting Tanzania in November is the relative accessibility and freedom of movement. Roads remain open, and river flows are still manageable, reminiscent of conditions during the dry season. This allows visitors to explore the country’s diverse ecosystems and wildlife habitats with ease, enjoying unhindered access to popular destinations and attractions. Accommodation in November While the period from June to October typically witnesses peak rates for hotels and resorts in Tanzania, November’s arrival of rains brings some relief to travelers. November falls into the category of ‘high’ season, which, although not as popular as ‘peak’ season, still attracts a significant number of visitors compared to ‘low’ season. As a result of the expected decrease in tourism during November, accommodations tend to offer more reasonable prices. Operators understand the dip in visitor numbers during this month and adjust their rates accordingly, making it a favorable time for budget-conscious travelers. Additionally, the availability of accommodations is likely to be better in November due to fewer visitors, offering travelers a wider range of options to choose from Overall, November presents a promising opportunity for travelers to explore Tanzania without the crowds and at more affordable rates. Whether you’re seeking wildlife encounters, cultural experiences, or simply a tranquil retreat amidst the natural beauty of Tanzania, November offers a favorable balance of affordability and availability for an enjoyable and memorable travel experience. Visiting the Northern Circuit of Tanzania in November The great wildebeest migration in November With the onset of the green season and the return of rain, the Great Migration in Tanzania is once again in motion. Freed from the confines of watering holes and large rivers, which sustained them during the dry season, the migrating herds can now venture forth to graze on the newly-green grasslands. During November, you’re likely to witness the Great Migration heading south, following the rain as it revitalizes the land. While the dry season often sees the herds congregated in the northern regions and even crossing into Kenya, November marks their migration southward into the plains of the central Serengeti. The central Serengeti offers prime grazing grounds for the migrating herds, attracting large numbers of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores. This presents an excellent opportunity for wildlife enthusiasts to witness one of nature’s greatest spectacles, as the vast herds traverse the lush landscapes in search of food and water. Climbing mount Kilimanjaro in November November presents a favorable opportunity for climbing Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro. While the onset of the green season brings increased rainfall, the temperatures remain mild and the weather is generally manageable for climbers. However, it’s essential to be prepared for colder temperatures as you ascend higher on the mountain, so dressing warmly is crucial. Despite the occasional rainy periods, typically occurring in the early afternoons, climbers can still enjoy clear skies and breathtaking views during their ascent. Unlike the heavier rains experienced later in the rainy season, these short rainy periods in November are usually followed by improved weather conditions, allowing for uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscapes. Game drives, wildlife and birds in November Despite the onset of the short rainy season, wildlife remains abundant and active across Tanzania’s national parks and reserves. The rains prompt animals to disperse further afield in search of food and water, resulting in increased wildlife sightings and migratory movements. Migrations become more prevalent during this time, with migratory birds returning to the parks of Tanzania, adding to the vibrant tapestry of biodiversity. Concerns about encountering fewer animals are alleviated by the expansive spread of wildlife throughout the parks, offering ample opportunities for observation and exploration. For those seeking exceptional wildlife encounters, Ngorongoro Conservation Area boasts compact game densities year-round, ensuring memorable safari experiences. However, all the northern parks hold their own unique attractions, with each offering something special for visitors to discover.

Moreover, November’s rains mark the end of Zanzibar’s long dry season, leading to a resurgence of its flora and fauna. The island transforms into a lush and verdant paradise, with vibrant vegetation and blooming flowers adding to its natural beauty. Mafia Island in November November marks the onset of a brief wet season in Tanzania. Although the rainfall experienced during this time is not as substantial as that in April or May, it is sufficient to stimulate the local flora, resulting in magnificent blooms across the region. Additionally, the weather tends to heat up in November, with daily temperatures reaching highs of up to 32°C. In summary, November brings the beginning of a short period of rainfall, fostering the growth of lush vegetation and vibrant blooms throughout Tanzania. Coupled with rising temperatures, this creates an environment of natural abundance and beauty, offering visitors a unique opportunity to witness the transformation of the landscape during this transitional season.

October

October Tanzania in October Weather and landscape in October October marks the last chance in the year to catch Tanzania in a properly dry climate. For the first few weeks of October, you will experience the tail end of the long dry season, a season that has been going on since late May or early June. The wildlife of Tanzania is huddled around sparse watering holes and the land is brown from lack of rain. This makes for incredible game viewing, but the temperature is still cold at night and in the mornings, so don’t forget a jacket! The end of October usually sees the rains return in the form of billowing thunderclouds However, despite the dry conditions, it’s important to note that temperatures can still be cold at night and in the early mornings. Therefore, visitors are advised to pack appropriately and bring along a jacket to stay warm during the cooler periods of the day. Towards the end of October, the landscape undergoes a transformation as billowing thunderclouds signal the return of the rainy season. These dramatic weather patterns mark the transition from the dry season to the wetter months, bringing relief to the parched land and rejuvenating the vegetation. Accommodation in October While the dry season persists, October remains a peak season for tourist destinations in Tanzania. The heavier rains typically don’t commence until late October or early November, meaning accommodation prices and availability are still at their peak during this time. Similar to other dry months ideal for game viewing, bird watching, and safari activities, it’s crucial to book accommodation well in advance if planning a visit to Tanzania in October. With demand high and accommodations filling up quickly, securing bookings ahead of time ensures availability and helps avoid disappointment. Furthermore, October represents the last opportunity in the year to experience predictably dry weather in Tanzania. As such, it remains a sought-after time for travelers seeking optimal conditions for wildlife sightings and outdoor adventures. Visiting the Northern Circuit of Tanzania in October The great wildebeest migration in October During the opening days of October, the dry period persists, and the Wildebeest of the Great Migration are likely still clustered around a dependable water source, often the Mara River in the northern region of Serengeti National Park. However, as late October approaches and thunderheads of rain loom on the horizon, the massive herd begins to stir once again. With the promise of revitalizing rains, the Wildebeest embark on their journey southward, eagerly anticipating the lush, green grassy plains that await them in central Serengeti. Climbing mount Kilimanjaro in October As the dry season draws to a close, October continues to be a favored time for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. Climbing conditions are generally fair and relatively calm compared to the rainy weather, making it an appealing time for adventurers seeking to conquer Africa’s highest peak. However, thorough preparation is essential, as climbing Kilimanjaro poses significant challenges even for experienced climbers. One factor to consider during October climbs is the low humidity resulting from the dry weather. While this may create a more comfortable atmosphere, it also means that the thin, high-altitude air feels notably colder and sharper than during the wet season in Tanzania. As such, climbers should prepare diligently and pack warm clothing, especially as they ascend higher towards the snow-capped summit. Game drives, wildlife and birds in October In general, wildlife spotting becomes easier in October. Early October marks the tail end of the dry season in Tanzania, resulting in dry, brown, and dusty landscapes. However, this scarcity of moisture forces animals to gather around rivers and watering holes, which serve as their primary sources of water. The dry conditions also tend to make animals more sluggish, presenting excellent opportunities for observing hunting predators in action, such as cheetahs, leopards, and lions. October is particularly renowned for offering thrilling wildlife encounters, as predators seize the chance to stalk their prey amidst the dry and barren terrain. Moreover, October is considered one of the best times to explore several national parks in Tanzania, including Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, and Mount Meru. These destinations boast diverse ecosystems and abundant wildlife, ensuring unforgettable safari experiences for visitors.

The scarcity of water draws animals from all corners of the savannah, offering excellent opportunities for unforgettable sightings of Africa’s iconic fauna in their natural habitat.

Daytime temperatures are comfortably warm, and the entire month remains dry, with clear and sunny skies dominating the forecast. These weather conditions create optimal conditions for game viewing, making August an excellent time for safaris, hiking, and mountain climbing adventures. However, like any weather pattern, there are both advantages and disadvantages. The dryness of the season means that dust can be stirred up, potentially obscuring the otherwise breathtaking landscapes. Additionally, there’s a possibility of small wildfires sweeping through the grasslands as part of the natural ecosystem. While these factors may slightly affect visibility, they are all part of the unique experience of visiting Tanzania during the dry season in August.    Accommodation in August Similar to July, August is a highly sought-after time for travelers to visit Tanzania.

This crossing in the Lamai region of the northern Serengeti is something of the Migration’s biggest spectacle, with a river of wildebeest crossing a river of water. The trip can often be perilous, with crocodiles dogging the herd’s heels.   However, the journey is not without its dangers, as lurking beneath the surface are crocodiles, waiting to seize any opportunity presented by the migrating herds.

Visiting the Northern Circuit of Tanzania in July The great wildebeest migration in July During the dry season, the Great Migration of wildebeests is characterized by their constant movement in search of food and water. As the land dries up and vegetation becomes scarce in their wet season feeding grounds, the massive herd embarks on a journey across the Serengeti. The migration often includes dramatic river crossings, with the Mara River being a notable feature along their route. This river, which meanders through the Serengeti before draining into Lake Victoria, serves as a crucial water source for the migrating wildebeests. However, crossing the river poses significant challenges as it is inhabited by crocodiles, ready to prey on the vulnerable animals with every step they take. In fact, many of our wildlife species deliver offspring around mid-January and February (depending on rainfall), making it an optimal time for encountering numerous newborns during our safaris. Naturally, with the surge in births, predator activity also rises, heightening the likelihood of exhilarating encounters with live hunts during January. While the exact timing and locations of river crossings cannot be predicted with certainty, the dry season typically sees the Great Migration navigating these obstacles in their quest for sustenance.

However, the ideal climbing conditions also attract a larger number of aspiring mountaineers to Kilimanjaro’s slopes during July. As a result, the mountain may feel more crowded compared to quieter months such as March or April. Additionally, despite the sunny days, temperatures on the mountain’s summit can plummet, so it’s essential to pack warm clothing to stay comfortable and safe. Overall, July presents an excellent opportunity for climbers to conquer the iconic peak of Mount Kilimanjaro and witness the breathtaking beauty of Tanzania’s landscapes from its highest point. With proper preparation and the right gear, climbers can enjoy a memorable and rewarding experience on Africa’s tallest mountain.

However, it’s important to note that July marks peak tourist season, resulting in more crowded parks and increased dust kicked up by safari vehicles, which can sometimes detract from the overall experience.

On the mainland, temperatures during June typically range from 15°C to 27°C, with mornings and evenings often feeling chilly (so don’t forget to pack a jacket!). As the dry season progresses, the landscape undergoes a noticeable change. The lush greenery of the wet season gives way to a more muted color palette dominated by various shades of beige and brown. While this transformation may seem less vibrant, it actually enhances game viewing opportunities as animals become more concentrated around remaining water sources.

While it remains the mating season for wildebeests, the increasing dryness of the land leads to a scarcity of food and water. As a result, large herds of wildebeests begin congregating at watering holes and key crossing points, such as the Grumeti River. The relative lack of resources and the dry climate make spotting the massive herds relatively easy during this time. Additionally, witnessing river crossings becomes particularly thrilling as thousands of wildebeests brave the waters, creating dramatic scenes of migration. However, these crossings also attract predators, such as crocodiles, which lie in wait to prey on stragglers. For safari enthusiasts, June offers a prime opportunity to witness both the awe-inspiring spectacle of the Great Migration and the dramatic interactions between predators and prey. With the landscape becoming drier and resources dwindling, the dynamics of the migration provide a captivating glimpse into the cycle of life in the African wilderness. Climbing mount Kilimanjaro in June In June, like the rest of Tanzania, tourists embarking on a journey up Mount Kilimanjaro can expect a drier climate. The weather becomes cooler and less humid, providing favorable conditions for starting the ascent towards the summit of Africa’s highest peak. However, the cooler and drier weather also means that temperatures can drop significantly as you ascend higher. While June is typically devoid of rain around Mount Kilimanjaro, there is a possibility of cloudy weather. Although the mountain is not always obscured by cloud cover, it’s important for climbers to be aware of this potential. Cloudy skies may limit visibility, potentially hindering the spectacular views typically offered at the peak of the mountain. Despite the possibility of cloudy conditions, June still presents an excellent opportunity for climbers to tackle the challenge of Mount Kilimanjaro. With cooler temperatures and drier weather, the ascent becomes more manageable, offering adventurers a chance to experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Africa’s highest mountain. Game drives, wildlife and birds in June Without question, June is one of the best times of the year to visit the Serengeti National Park. As the dry season is in full force come June, the landscape becomes monochrome and dried out, with foliage diminishing and wildlife congregating around water sources. This means that wildlife viewing is at its absolute best. Not only that, but each park has a seasonal draw – Ngorongoro’s game densities are very high, Serengeti’s animals are in mating season as are Ruaha’s wild dogs, and Tarangire is at its best for a walking safari or fly-camping. Each location in northern Tanzania promises an unforgettable experience in June. No matter which location you choose to explore in northern Tanzania during June, each promises an unforgettable safari experience. Whether witnessing the Great Migration in the Serengeti, encountering the abundant wildlife of Ngorongoro Crater, or embarking on a walking safari in Tarangire, June offers a plethora of opportunities to connect with nature and create lasting memories.

As April showers gracefully fade, they leave behind a tapestry of blooming landscapes adorned with vibrant hues. This month heralds a spectacle where nature flourishes, enticing both the eye and lens. One of the remarkable aspects of May in Tanzania is the ease of spotting big game herbivores such as elephants, rhinoceros, and buffalo. Abundant food and water sources draw these majestic creatures out into the open, providing ample opportunities for photographers to capture their magnificence amidst the verdant backdrop. Towards late May, the Emerald season gracefully transitions into the dry season. This shift brings about a sense of intimacy as the number of visitors dwindles, allowing for a more immersive experience with nature. While the onset of May may still witness occasional showers, the weather gradually stabilizes into warmth and dryness, with daily averages ranging between 16°C and 27°C. This convergence of natural beauty and wildlife abundance makes May an ideal time for photographers to explore Tanzania’s diverse ecosystems and capture moments of breathtaking splendor. Whether amidst the lush greenery of the Emerald season or the golden hues of the impending dry season, Tanzania in May promises a captivating visual feast for photographers and nature enthusiasts alike. Accommodation in May In May, much like April, Tanzania experiences a lull in tourist activity, resulting in quieter accommodations compared to busier months. The early days of May still carry remnants of the rainy season, deterring some travelers and leading to reduced crowds in most accommodations. This seasonal trend often translates into favorable pricing for hotels, resorts, and other lodging options. Many establishments offer better deals and lower rates during this period, taking advantage of the decreased demand. As May progresses, rainfall typically diminishes, especially in the later weeks, presenting an opportune time to indulge in luxurious accommodations without breaking the bank. For travelers seeking a taste of opulence and tranquility amidst Tanzania’s natural wonders, May offers a window of affordability and exclusivity. Whether nestled in a boutique lodge overlooking the savannah or enjoying the comforts of a lavish resort by the coast, this quieter period allows guests to savor the splendor of their surroundings without the hustle and bustle of peak tourist seasons. Visiting the Northern Circuit of Tanzania in May The great wildebeest migration in May One of the remarkable aspects of the Great Migration is its continuous nature throughout the year. The majestic herds of iconic African antelopes persistently migrate, ensuring that this awe-inspiring spectacle remains an ever-present phenomenon. Rather than disappearing, the migration simply transitions as the seasons change. During the wet season, abundant food sources beckon, enticing the massive herds to roam and graze as they move across the savannah. In May, a pivotal phase of the migration unfolds as the millions-strong herd of wildebeest embarks on their journey from the short grass plains of the southern Serengeti Their destination? The expansive and fertile central and western plains of the Serengeti, teeming with nourishing vegetation. This annual movement of the wildebeest symbolizes nature’s cyclical rhythm, where survival and sustenance propel these creatures across vast distances. Witnessing this migration in May offers a glimpse into the resilience and determination of these animals as they navigate the African landscape in search of greener pastures. It’s a testament to the enduring beauty and dynamism of the natural world, where each season brings its own spectacle to behold. Climbing mount Kilimanjaro in May In May, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro presents a slightly less predictable experience compared to other months. Luck plays a significant role in determining whether climbers encounter a wet or dry ascent to the peak. As the rainy season draws to a close, May typically offers beautiful temperate weather for those undertaking the challenge. Nevertheless, intermittent rainstorms, particularly in the early part of the month, may dampen the journey. In such instances, climbers often opt for the Marangu or Rongai routes, which provide more comfortable conditions amidst wet weather Despite the occasional showers, May boasts fewer climbers on the mountain, enhancing the sense of solitude and serenity amidst the rugged terrain. Navigating Mount Kilimanjaro in May requires a balance of preparedness and flexibility, as weather conditions can vary throughout the ascent. However, for those seeking a quieter climb and the chance to experience the mountain’s majestic beauty in relative tranquility, May presents an enticing opportunity to embark on this unforgettable adventure.

This period offers tourists the thrilling opportunity to witness intense competition between males as they vie for dominance and mating rights. The landscape comes alive with the sights and sounds of mating rituals, providing a captivating spectacle for visitors. Meanwhile, May also stands out as an optimal time to explore Ngorongoro due to its combination of low tourist traffic and high animal activity. With fewer crowds, visitors can enjoy a more immersive wildlife experience, observing the diverse array of species that call this region home. As the wet season draws to a close, May begins with an abundance of food resources. However, as the climate transitions to a drier phase, resources gradually become scarcer. This natural progression prompts wildlife densities to increase, as animals congregate around watering holes or seek out small patches of lush vegetation for sustenance. The concentration of wildlife around these vital resources creates prime opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography. Whether witnessing the drama of rutting season in the Serengeti or marveling at the bustling animal activity in Ngorongoro, May offers an enriching safari experience amidst the changing rhythms of nature.

April

April Tanzania in April Weather and landscape in April April ushers in the rainy season in Tanzania, marking it as the rainiest month of the year. However, don’t envision April as a dull, monotonous stretch of endless rainfall. The rain mainly manifests as early afternoon thunderstorms, which often dissipate swiftly. Between the thunderstorms, anticipate relatively warm daytime temperatures ranging from 16°C to 28°C (and even reaching up to 30°C on the islands). While rain may only grace about half of the days in April, caution is advised when traveling during the rainy season. Roads, especially unpaved ones, can turn muddy and challenging to navigate. Accommodation in April Every cloud has a silver lining, and amidst the April skies in Tanzania, that silver lining shines through in the form of affordability. April is considered the low season for tourism, translating to significantly reduced accommodation costs across many lodges. Moreover, the sparse crowds and fewer visitors during this time present an added advantage. Securing beautiful accommodations at half the price means you might even have the place all to yourself! While April may bring rain, it also brings the opportunity to save money on your travels.

April certainly toughens the challenge of Kilimanjaro, but it also adds to the allure for those seeking a greater test. One definite advantage of attempting Kilimanjaro in April is the decreased likelihood of encountering crowds of tourists or slow climbers—only the most dedicated mountaineers are likely to venture onto Kilimanjaro during this time. Game drives, wildlife and birds in April While rain may pose a challenge during game drives and safaris, it also serves to awaken the wildlife.

While rain and cloud cover can sometimes hinder animal sightings, the short-lived nature of Tanzanian rainstorms results in exceptionally clear air once they dissipate, ideal for wildlife viewing.

This reduced activity in the parks often prompts animals to venture into the open, offering tourists more intimate and individual experiences with nature during their April visit.
