In the initial days of March, the Weather in Tanzania resembles that of February, characterized by warmth. It is more like the dry and short summer season.

Yet, as we move into mid-March, the ‘Masika,’ or long rainy season commences, raising daytime humidity and heat levels, with nighttime temperatures dropping by nearly 10 degrees.

The latter half of March often brings heavy rainfall, usually in the mornings, with afternoons turning brighter. This rain settles the dust and enhances visibility.

For travellers with an appetite for adventure and authenticity, the raw beauty of Tanzania during the rains can be a spectacle.
