Dry Season (June to October): Similar to other regions in Tanzania, the dry season in Northwest Tanzania occurs during these months. The weather is generally dry and cooler, making it an excellent time to visit. This period is optimal for exploring places like Gombe Stream National Park and Mahale Mountains National Park for chimpanzee trekking and enjoying Lake Tanganyika.
Short Rainy Season (November to December): This period experiences short rains, which are typically less intense compared to the main rainy season. Travel is still feasible during these months, and it's a transitional period between the dry and wet seasons.
Long Rainy Season (March to May): The main rainy season occurs during these months. Rainfall can be heavy and continuous, leading to lush green landscapes but also making some areas inaccessible due to muddy roads.
