When to go
Tanzania has much to offer all year round. Situated just south of the equator, temperatures average between 25-30C°. Humidity can be very high along the coastal strip and on Zanzibar but much lower in the interior highlands. There long rains are from March to May and short rains between October and December. In addition there are frequently heavy rains in the south of Tanzania from December until April.
The wildebeest migration in the Serengeti occurs in June and July. If you are planning a trekking or climbing holiday the best months are May to September. Travelling by road, especially in the more remote areas or through the national parks, is easier during the dry months, as road conditions deteriorate significantly in the rain. There is an average of 4-6 hours of sunshine each day.
Visas
Visa are required by all visitors except citizens of the Commonwealth (excluding citizens of the UK, Australia, Canada, India and Nigeria who do require visas).It is straight forward to obtain a visas at the point of entry (border crossing or airport). Please note that requirement may change at any time, and check with your agent at time of booking.
Health
We recommend anti malarial profilactics, especially if you are visiying the coast and during the wet seasons when malaria is more prolific.For more infomation on health issues please consult your doctor.
Language The official language is Swahili, which is spoken by everyone. Most places on the tourist routes English will be spoken.
