Flourishing Wildlife: The rainy season brings forth an abundance of life in Tanzania's national parks and conservation areas.

Blossoming Beauty: Despite the rain, Tanzania's flora blooms in all its glory during April. You can spot colorful wildflowers painting the plains of the Serengeti or take a leisurely stroll through Arusha's surroundings, where exotic blooms add a pop of colour to the landscape despite the wet weather.

Savoring the Season: Enjoy the delicious flavors of Tanzania's cuisine, featuring hearty stews, fresh fruits, and aromatic spices. Try traditional dishes like pilau and maharage at local eateries, or sip on hot chai while watching the rain outside.
