ULTIMATE AFRICA SAFARIS
Africa weather East Africa (Kenya and Tanzania) In general east Africa experiences dry weather during the months June through October. There are two rainy seasons - the long rains which fall March through May and the short rains which arrive in mid October and continue until mid December. Safaris are best enjoyed during the periods mid December through the beginning of March and during the period June through mid October each year. Temperatures are moderate throughout the year with average daytime temperatures around 70 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit. June us the coolest month as it is mid winter. Evenings and mornings are often chilly, with cold nighttime temperatures at Ngorongoro Crater due to altitude. Southern Africa (Botswana and Zimbabwe) In general the climate in southern Africa is as near perfect as you can get with dry season temperatures similar to those of the Mediterranean, but without the humidity. Daytime temperatures average 70 - 80 degrees Fahrenheit. During the winter period June through August nighttime temperatures in some areas can drop to freezing or below - don't let this dissuade you from a safari as by mid morning temperatures are warm enough for shorts and a short sleeved shirt. The rains occur each year during the period November through March with the dry season stretching from April through October. Safaris are best enjoyed during the period April through October each year.
