Whether your holiday plans involve hiking up the rocky slopes of Kilimanjaro, enjoying the local beers in the quiet pubs of Moshi, or anything in between, you’ll need to ensure that you swing by at a time that best suits your needs. June to September, the months which boast both the (relatively speaking) lowest temperatures and rainfall, stand out as the most popular among tourists. They’re the best time to visit if you fancy a drier sort of holiday, and don’t mind not quite having the place entirely to yourself. The months of roughly December to March, meanwhile, boast slightly higher temperatures, notably higher precipitation, and lower rates of tourism. If you’d like to avoid the crowds and get better accommodation deals, this is the time to come; but you’d better be prepared to face the damp.
