WHEN TO VISIT TANZANIA.
The best time to visit Tanzania for a holiday depends on the specific experiences you're seeking, as the country offers diverse climates and attractions. Tanzania generally has two primary seasons: the dry season and the wet season.

Dry Season (June to October)
Wildlife viewing: 
This is the most popular time for safaris, especially in northern parks like Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The dry season brings a concentration of animals around water sources, making it easier to spot wildlife.

Climbing mountain Kilimanjaro.
June to October is considered the best time for trekking Mount Kilimanjaro. The weather is relatively dry and clear, offering optimal visibility and conditions for climbing.

Zanzibar and coastal areas.
The dry season is ideal for beach vacations in Zanzibar and other coastal regions. The weather is sunny, and the sea is calm, making it perfect for water activities.

Cultural experiences.
Many cultural festivals and events take place during the dry season, providing an opportunity to engage with local communities and traditions.

Wet Season (November to May)
Green Landscapes
The wet season brings lush, green landscapes, particularly in January and February. It's a beautiful time for photography and appreciating the scenic beauty of Tanzania.

Bird watching.
Bird enthusiasts will enjoy the wet season as migratory birds are present, and birdwatching opportunities are abundant.

Fewer tourists.
The wet season experiences fewer tourists, so if you prefer a quieter experience and are willing to embrace occasional rain showers, this could be a good time to visit.

Lower accommodation costs.
Accommodation prices may be more budget-friendly during the wet season, offering potential cost savings for travelers.

If you want to avoid peak tourist season and still experience good weather, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons in March to May or October to November.
