Weather in Tanzania

In Tanzania, the weather is as diverse as its wildlife. With its location near the equator, you can expect a tropical climate that will make you break a sweat faster than you can say “hakuna matata.”

Tanzania has two distinct seasons: the dry season and the wet season. During the dry season, which usually runs from June to October, you’ll bask in the glory of sunny skies and warm temperatures. It’s like nature’s way of saying, “Let’s have a beach party, shall we?”

Now, brace yourself for the wet season, which takes place from November to May. This is when Mother Nature decides to play a game of “Let’s see how much rain I can pour on you.” Trust me, it’s quite a show. You might want to pack an umbrella, a raincoat, and possibly some floaties if you plan on exploring the country during this time.

In the coastal areas, where you’ll find the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam. The wheather is mostly all about the sun, sand, and sea. The temperatures can reach scorching highs, so if you’re planning a visit, don’t forget to pack your sunscreen, shades, and a beach umbrella to shield yourself from the blazing rays of the sun.

Moving inland, things start to cool down a bit. In the northern region, where you’ll find the famous Serengeti and Mount Kilimanjaro, the weather can be quite unpredictable. One moment, you might be sweating buckets under the blazing sun, and the next, you’ll be shivering in your boots as a sudden rainstorm pours down on you. It’s like nature’s own game of weather roulette, keeping you on your toes at all times.
