Tanzania is a year-round destination, but the best window depends on what you want to do. Here’s a season-by-season guide.
Dry Season (June–October)
The best all-round time: excellent wildlife viewing, clear Kilimanjaro trekking conditions and river crossings in the Serengeti.
Short Rains (November–December)
Brief afternoon showers, green landscapes and fewer crowds — a great value window.
Green Season (January–March)
Calving season on the Serengeti plains and another strong window for Kilimanjaro. Lush and beautiful.
