July weather forecast
Tanzania

July continues the long dry season in Tanzania, characterized by low rainfall, typically falling under 40mm (1.57"), and cooler temperatures. The dry, sunny days make July an ideal month for a wide range of outdoor activities, including wildlife safaris, mountain hiking, and beach holidays.

Coastal areas and the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia experience temperatures ranging from 24°C (75.2°F) to 29°C (84.2°F), slightly cooler than in June. The northern and southern highlands, including regions around the Serengeti and Mbeya, see milder temperatures, typically from 17°C (62.6°F) to 22°C (71.6°F).

Dar es Salaam, owing to its coastal location, maintains average temperatures around 29°C (84.2°F), slightly cooler than the previous months. Dodoma, located in the central region, experiences temperatures typically between 17°C (62.6°F) to 27°C (80.6°F), reflecting a mild drop from June.

Compared to June, July generally witnesses slightly cooler temperatures and a continued low level of rainfall. The dry and sunny conditions favour wildlife viewing across Tanzania's national parks, with the Great Migration of wildebeest often taking place around this time in the Serengeti. As the dry season progresses, the decrease in vegetation density and the concentration of wildlife around water sources make July a particularly rewarding month for wildlife photography. With these favourable conditions, July is often considered one of the best times to visit Tanzania.
