Facts about Tanzania Country, Weather, Culture and Tanzania Map

Tanzania is regarded as one of Africa’s finest kept wildlife secrets. The wilderness areas are pristine and the country offers travellers views of the African bush that have not changed for centuries. Unspoilt natural beauty and abundant wildlife make it an ideal destination for an African safari holiday.
The Tanzania culture is diverse whereby experiences range from the renowned Serengeti National Park with the famous wildebeest migration, the only vast movement of even toed ungulates remaining in the world, in the north of the country to remote Katavi National Park in the very south end of the country. There is also the opportunity to visit the Selous Game Reserve, the world largest, or of tracking chimpanzees at Mahale or Gombe National Parks in the western part of the country. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa (19,340 ft), is there for the challenge. The fact that the country has, for so long, been largely overlooked as a tourist destination is one of its greatest assets. Tanzania is also one of the few countries where you can experience a safari and beach holiday together.( Tanzania Safaris and Zanzibar Beach Holiday)
Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar… just to name a few, these are Tanzania’s most breathtaking destinations, all packed into one country. Enchanting with hints of the wild and exotic, these four alone are reason enough to plan a tripand head off to TANZANIA. With Bagamoyo, Tabora, Ujiji – according to the Tanzania history stops on the 19th-century caravan routes into the heart of what was then an unknown continent. Mafia and Pangani – once famed ports of call for merchant ships from the Orient. Kilwa – linchpin of a far-flung Indian Ocean trading network.
Selous – Africa’s largest protected area. Ruaha and Katavi – insider tips for serious safari-goers. Mahale and Gombe – prime destinations for seeing chimpanzees in the wild. One of the most popular destinations in Tanzania for breathtaking Tanzania safaris.

Tanzania Weather and climate

Generally, Tanzania has a comfortable, tropical climate year-round due to its location along the equator although there are significant regional variations. Along the warmer and humid coast, the climate is largely influenced by the monsoon winds which bring rains in two major periods.
  1. The “Masika” (long rains period), from mid-March to May, it rains heavily almost every day, although seldom for the whole day, and the air can get unpleasantly sticky.
  2. The  “mvuli” (short rains period) fall during November, December and sometimes into January. Inland, altitude is a major determinant of conditions.
The central plateau is somewhat cooler and arid, while in the mountainous region of the northeast and southwest of Tanzania, temperatures occasionally drop below 15°C at night time during June and July, and it can rain at any time of year making the weather unpredictable at times. The coolest months countrywide are from June to October and thewarmest from December to March.
