September marks one of the most magical times to explore Tanzania’s wilderness. The dry season is still in full swing, wildlife viewing is exceptional, and the weather is perfect for adventure.

Weather in Tanzania in September

September is one of the most comfortable months to visit Tanzania:

• 🌞 Climate: Warm and dry, with clear blue skies and low humidity.

• 🌡️ Temperature: 25–30°C during the day, and cooler nights averaging 12–18°C.

• 🌦️ Rainfall: Virtually no rain — excellent conditions for travel and photography.

This balance of pleasant weather and concentrated wildlife activity makes September one of the most rewarding safari months of the year.

Best Parks and Circuits to Visit in September

🦓 Northern Circuit

The northern safari circuit is at its dramatic best in September.

• Serengeti National Park:
  This is prime time for witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration as herds gather in the northern Serengeti and cross the Mara River into Kenya’s Maasai Mara. It’s an unforgettable display of survival and strength — a true natural wonder.

• Ngorongoro Crater:
  Cooler temperatures and short grass make wildlife easily visible, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, and black rhinos.

• Tarangire National Park:
  Home to massive elephant herds, Tarangire is thriving in September as animals gather around the Tarangire River. This park is also a paradise for bird watchers.

🐘 Southern Circuit

For travelers seeking solitude and exclusivity:

• Ruaha National Park:
  Predators dominate the dry plains — lions, leopards, and cheetahs thrive here alongside elephants and giraffes. Ruaha is known for its raw, untouched wilderness.

• Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve):
  Offers a unique mix of boat safaris, walking safaris, and game drives — perfect for travelers who want more than the typical safari experience.
