Climate

Tanzania is too close to the equator to experience a real winter and a real summer. Temperatures inland are relatively temperate, and hotter and humid at the coast, on the islands, and in the Selous. The warmest period is September, October and January, and the coolest is June, July and August. Tanzania has two rainy seasons; the long rains are from March to May, and the short, or ‘Mango’, rains, come from late October to late December.

Daytime temperatures are generally pleasant and range between 15°C/59°F and 26°C/78°F, but do sometimes rise above 30°C/86°F in the warmer months. In the higher altitude areas, the temperatures drop substantially, and it can be very cold on the rim of Ngorongoro Crater. The coastal area is humid all year round, with higher temperatures and muggy heat.

Best time to visit: The best time to visit Tanzania is during the dry season, from June to October, when wildlife viewing in national parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro is optimal.
