April weather forecast
Tanzania

April marks the peak of the 'Masika', the long rainy season in Tanzania. This period experiences the highest rainfall of the year, often exceeding 250mm (9.84") in many regions. The increase in rainfall makes the weather less predictable and may affect travel plans and outdoor activities due to muddy conditions and reduced accessibility in certain areas.

Despite the heavy rainfall, temperatures in April remain relatively high. Coastal areas, including the islands of Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia, continue to experience warm and humid conditions with temperatures generally varying between 27°C (80.6°F) to 32°C (89.6°F). The northern and southern highlands, covering areas such as the Serengeti and Mbeya, maintain milder temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F).

Dar es Salaam, with its coastal location, continues to witness hot and humid conditions with average temperatures hovering above 30°C (86°F). Conversely, Dodoma in the central region experiences temperatures usually between 20°C (68°F) and 30°C (86°F).

Compared to March, April experiences higher rainfall and slightly cooler temperatures. The heavy rains lead to the blossoming of flora, offering vibrant landscapes for visitors. However, the high rainfall can disrupt wildlife safaris, particularly in the Southern and Western circuits, whereas the Northern circuit remains more accessible. Despite being the wettest month of the year, April's lush, green scenery and lower visitor numbers can provide a uniquely tranquil experience for tourists in Tanzania.
