Where should you go in Tanzania in december when it comes to the weather?

Remember:
The climate in Tanzania in december ranges from good to tolerable depending on the region and city.

That month is not the best month to visit Tanzania. The weather in Kilimandjaro, Dar Es Salaam, Zanzibar and Dodoma is OK but just acceptable. The sun is not there all the time and you may be faced the rain frequently. Nonetheless, if you don't plan a pool & relaxation travel in Tanzania but rather visiting museums or a trek, this climate may be good enough for you. In addition, there are definitely fewer tourists this month.

But it is finally better than in Tabora and Mbeya and surrounding areas where the climate is even worse. We really do not recommend you to travel to these areas in december.
