When To Go
Most of Tanzania is close to the equator and does not have seasons although it is cooler June to August. The variations in altitude and terrain can create significant contrasts in climate so important to get timing right. Long and heavier rains in April and May with a shorter wet season in November. Significantly hotter on the coast.
