Climate in Tanzania and what to wear<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe climate of Tanzania is considered to be tropical, yet it varies significantly between regions due to the topography. But no matter the time of the year, or your location in Tanzania, you can expect temperatures to fluctuate significantly throughout the day (think hot and humid during the day to cold and chilly at night). Basically you need to have clothing to cater for all seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Temperature wise, the warmest months are between November through February (25\u201331\u00b0C or 77.0\u201387.8\u00b0F) and the colder months are from May to August (15\u201320\u00b0C or 59\u201368\u00b0F). July and August are the country\u2019s coldest, driest months \u2013 and is the best time to visit Tanzania. June through September is another period worth planning your trip around, as they are the prime months for viewing migrating wildebeests and elephants November through February<\/p>\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not interested in investing in new shorts or are just generally trying to keep costs down, you can opt for a pair of workout shorts that you may already own. These are sure to keep you cool and most importantly, sweat-free!

<\/div>\n\n\nTops<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLong sleeve tops<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you don\u2019t already own a few long sleeved, sweat-wicking tops, it pays to invest in a few as they are designed to keep you fresh in high temperatures. To keep costs down and save from purchasing a whole new wardrobe, a lightweight shirt will do the trick; as it\u2019s essential to protect yourself from the sun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also worth noting is that mosquitoes are a concern in Tanzania, so long sleeved tops act as great shield to protect yourself. Black clothing \u2013 despite attracting more heat from the sun \u2013 is said to deter mosquitos, so this is worth weighing up.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
T-shirts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou don\u2019t want to be stuck wearing long pants or a long sleeve top once the temperature rises. A few t-shirts or singlet tops won\u2019t go to waste and are essential for the days when the temperature skyrockets. If you are wearing a singlet top or a t-shirt, don\u2019t forget to slather on some sunscreen.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Windbreaker jacket<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhile it\u2019ll be warm in Tanzania for most parts of the year, it will undoubtedly be windy in some parts. A windbreaker jacket is a perfect item to carry with you as it won\u2019t take up too much room, yet will save you from feeling the drop in temperature.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Insulated jacket (depending on the season)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nSome jackets are made to cater to either warm temperatures and cold weather with a waterproof shell. Depending on your preference, a warm padded coat should do the trick under your lighter waterproof jacket.
