when to visit Arusha

Arusha’s climate is defined by two distinct phases: the dry season (June to October) and the wet season (November to May). The dry months offer prime wildlife viewing as animals gather around dwindling water sources and sparse vegetation makes them easier to spot. Conversely, the wet season—comprising the “short rains” in November and “long rains” from March to May—transforms the landscape into a lush green paradise, ideal for birdwatching and photography. While the rains can make some roads challenging, they reward travelers with fewer crowds and vibrant, scenic vistas of the northern highlands.
