October is a dry season in Tanzania, making it an excellent time to view the wildlife. The average temperature during the day is around 29\u2103 but may vary according to the altitude and region within Tanzania. The nights are much cooler, sometimes falling below 16\u2103. Some early showers can be expected towards the end of October as the rainy season begins in November in Tanzania. The comfortable temperature during this dry season makes it the best time to visit Tanzania to either climb up the Mount Kilimanjaro or Mount Meru or to go on a safari.<\/p>\n

Things To Do In Tanzania In October<\/h2>\n

Here are the exciting things that one can do on a trip to Tanzania in October:<\/p>\n

1. Climb the Mount Kilimanjaro<\/h3>\n
\"Beautiful<\/a><\/div>\n

As the proximity of the mountain is quite close to the equator, the weather around it is never too hot nor too cold. Instead, it has only two seasons, a dry and a wet season. The wet season starting from November-May brings along a lot of rain making the path to the summit very slippery filled with mud and snow. Hence, one should climb the Mount Kilimanjaro, making the best of Tanzania\u2019s climate in October.<\/p>\n

October being the best season for trekking, one should expect a lot of foot traffic. The best time to trek up the mountain is during the full moon for stunning views from the summit. The best routes to take to the Uhuru Peak are the Machame route (via Shira Plateau) and the Mangaru route(via Gilman\u2019s Point). Visitors can climb Mount Meru as well in October for the same reasons.<\/p>\n
