July is, for many travelers, the month to visit Tanzania. That’s not marketing; it’s what the weather, the wildlife, and 14 years of organizing safaris from Arusha have taught me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather in Tanzania in July is dry, cool, and stable: temperatures between 14\u00b0C and 26\u00b0C in the northern parks, just 15 mm of rain in the Serengeti, and virtually none in Arusha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More importantly, this is when the Great Migration reaches the Mara River in the Northern Serengeti. The crossings are one of the most dramatic wildlife events on the planet, and July is when they begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zanzibar archipelago is at its driest and most comfortable, Kilimanjaro is in prime trekking condition, and every park in the country delivers. The trade-off? Prices are at their highest, and you need to book months in advance. For the full climate picture, see our Tanzania Climate guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
