Tanzania is one of the most popular safari destinations in the world. It is home to about 120 tribal groups, representative of all the major ethnic and linguistic groups in Africa. It is among the most politically stable countries in Africa.
Tanzania lies in the tropical region just below the equator, so the coolest months occur during the northern hemisphere’s summer, or from May to October, when temperatures hover in the 60’s and 70’s (16 to 26 C). The hot season is between November and March when the temperatures range in the 70’s and 80’s (21 to 32 C).
The heaviest rains occur April-June. The months of July through November bring the most pleasant weather and the short rains, but the landscape is starker. Naturally, more tourists come in July-September. Zebra and wildebeest migrations to the Serengeti are in full swing and large populations of elephants are drawn to the river in Tarangire.
December to March is the summer season, but this is an excellent game viewing time because the wildebeest are beginning their migration into Ngorongoro and the Serengeti and calving season begins the end of January into March. The clearest and warmest climbing conditions for Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Meru occur during the months of December to February.
