We have elaborated what are some of the best activities you can plan whether you visit the country in summer or winter and we have analysed the temperature and precipitation of the country in detail as well.

The Best Time to go on Safari in Tanzania

Although Tanzania has a great climate for most of the year, for game viewing we recommend travelling between June and October. At this time of year the weather is hot, but not humid and the game viewing is excellent. Between January and March it can be extremely humid, but this time of year is the calving season for the wildebeest in the Migration. It is definitely worth travelling for. The major rainy season is between April and May and we advise avoiding this time of year as the camps in the South are all closed. The camps in the Serengeti however, are always open and during the rainy season there will be less visitors and vehicles. There is also a shorter rainy season that tends to fall in mid-November. The camps tend to stay open during these months as there are only a few rain showers that do not impact on vehicle access or game drives.
