After the long rains, the weather in Tanzania in June finally shifts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The masika<\/em> is over, the dry season begins, and the country enters its prime safari period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skies clear, temperatures cool to a comfortable 15\u201327\u00b0C in the northern parks, and rainfall drops to almost nothing: just 35 mm in the Serengeti and only 25 mm in Arusha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zanzibar archipelago turns dry and pleasant, Kilimanjaro opens its prime trekking window, and the Great Migration reaches one of its most striking stages along the Grumeti River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in Arusha, I feel the shift overnight. One week we’re still dodging afternoon storms, the next the sky is a flat blue from sunrise to sunset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

June is when everything in Tanzania clicks into place, and the parks fill up fast. For the full climate picture, see our Tanzania Climate guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
