Tanzania weather is fantastic all year round Although heavy rains persist most afternoons in the rainy season, the natural environment comes to life. Nature is colourful, the grass is lush and green, beautiful flowers grow, animals find plenty of food, temperatures are nice and cool,
Tanzania is less crowded with tourists.

Another benefit of travelling in rainy season is the lower costs of safaris and accommodation.

However The best season to visit Tanzania is during the long dry season, which falls from July to September.

These are considered the best months for safaris, the Great Migration, trekking, and beach holidays in Zanzibar.

For those travelling to Tanzania during the rainy season, the following national parks are open and ready for your visit. Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Lake Natron and Arusha National Park.

The national parks of Tanzania that are better avoided during the rainy season include Nyerere, Ruaha, Mikumi & Udzungwa.
