We are living in a period of history when every day becomes more different and evident. The importance of re-establishing a harmonious relation between what we do as people and the Earth as our mother planet. Tourism in Tanzania is not different and, actually, travelling can give the opportunity to actively contribute to improve and conserve the fragile ecosystems that we visit. Weather is Tanzania is good and support tourism at all. Weather condition in Tanzania will determine what type or kind of clothes should you take during you visit to Tanzania safari.
• December sees the continuance of the short rains, and is characterized by lush landscapes, the Great Migration herds moving into the South Serengeti, and an abundance of beautiful birdlife.
• Days are warm, with a high chance of short light showers and heavier rain overnight.
• December is part of the short rainy season.
• Both temperatures and humidity are gradually rising.
• Remember your waterproofs.
• Zanzibar is very hot, dry and humid in December, with temperatures soaring into the early 40s.
• January is the beginning of Tanzania’s short dry season, though rains remain in some places. And wildlife highlights include the start of the Great Migration calving season on the Serengeti’s short-grass plains.
• Days tend to be dry, but there’s a chance of rain in the afternoon.
• Temperatures and humidity are rising – and on the coast it’s consistently around 30 degrees, so a great time for some winter sun.
• As there’s a possibility of short afternoon showers, it’s worth bringing a waterproof.
The best time for Tanzania safari is June and July. But outside of those months you can still track the migration elsewhere in the Serengeti. This is also the coolest period. The heaviest rains fall from March to early May, which freshens up the landscape. But can cause some travel disruption - with many lodges in the remote south closing during this time.
January to February bring fewer vehicles and greener landscapes after the short rains, you’ll see baby wildebeest and more predators. June to August is cooler, ideal for anyone wanting to avoid the harsh heat. For Kilimanjaro mountain is the icy year-round while the coast is warm. Avoiding the safari during the long rains of the green season starting from March to early May. November and December bring the short rains. These shouldn’t disrupt travel – other than attracting a few more mosquitoes. But will freshen up the dusty landscape, creating lovely scenes, particularly for photographers.
We recommend you to take comfortable light clothing for the day and something warmer for the night, which can be chilly in the northern highlands. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for those planning on making safari in Tanzania national park. You will further need a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
