Visiting Tanzania in September

Tanzania weather guide by month

January | February | March | April | May | June | July | August | September | October | November | December

This month marks the end of peak season, and you can still catch the final herds crossing from Tanzania to Kenya’s Masai Mara as part of the Great Migration – a holiday visiting both countries is a great option this month. If you’re looking for quieter wildlife-spotting destinations, the parks of southern Tanzania tend to have fewer crowds, plus you can enjoy highlights like the elephants congregating around the river in Tarangire.

Dry weather, pleasantly warm days and clear skies make Tanzania in September a perfect time to combine safari with trekking or beach time in Zanzibar too. The weather is warming up slightly around Kilimanjaro, if you’re looking for cycling adventures or hiking, as well as more challenging climbs.
