When to go to Tanzania?
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Tanzania's climate is variable from season to season. The country has two very distinct climatic zones:
- The coast and Zanzibar are subject to a humid equatorial climate . It is on average between 25 and 30 ° C and it rains a lot during the wet season.
- The interior , with the highlands perched at an altitude of more than 1,500 meters, experiences a temperate tropical climate . While it can be hot at the foot of Kilimanjaro, it is not uncommon for it to freeze at its summit.

The best season to go to Tanzania is usually the dry season, which allows for pleasant temperatures and low risk of precipitation. It all depends on what you want to see and do there. To see animals in national parks, for example, we advise you to go between April and November, when they are easily observed.
For a stay on the Tanzanian coast , prefer the dry season from May to October.
To climb Kilimanjaro or to discover the interior of the country, prefer the months of January and February , the hottest, or from July to October to avoid the rains. Expect snow - or at least frost - at over 4,500 meters above sea level anyway.
