Tanzania is a vast country with much
regional variation in geography and climate, plus distinct
rainy seasons, therefore deciding when
to visit Tanzania depends on what you want to experience whilst you’re
there.
Game viewing in Tanzania's parks are
at their peak during the dry season from June to October. The best chance of
seeing the wildebeest migration cross the Mara River in the Serengeti is during
July and August, whilst late January to February is the time to visit for the
wildebeest calving season.
The ideal time to visit Tanzania's
coast and the Zanzibar Archipelago is between August and October, whilst the
coast and the islands are best avoided during the long rains from March to May.
If you’re interested in climbing
Mount Kilimanjaro they recommend that you do so during the warmest and driest
times of year - December to mid-March and mid-June to end of October.
You require a passport with at least
two blank pages and six months' validity, plus a visa to enter Tanzania.
Single-entry visas are available upon arrival at Tanzanian airports or you can
obtain one in advance. A visa costs $100 for US citizens and $50 for other
nationalities.
Visitors to Tanzania should ensure
that they have Hepatitis A, Typhoid and Tetanus vaccinations. There is a high risk of malaria in most areas
of Tanzania (including Zanzibar), therefore anti-malaria medication is recommended
and you should take precautions to avoid mosquito bites. Avoid mosquito bites
by wearing long sleeves and long trousers especially after sunset, using insect
repellents on exposed skin and sleeping under a mosquito net.
