Best Time to Visit Arusha: Seasons & Hotel Benefits

Plan the Perfect Stay Year-Round

Wondering when to book your visit to Arusha? While Tanzania is a year-round destination, certain seasons offer different perks — whether you’re looking for lush green views, cultural events, or dry days for sightseeing. At A1 Hotel & Resort, each time of year brings its own charm, and we’re here to help you make the most of it.

January – March: Lush Landscapes & Fewer Crowds

This is a great time for peaceful stays, with vibrant greenery and cool mornings. It’s less crowded, making it ideal for couples and guests looking to unwind in a quiet atmosphere.

A1 Perk: Lower rates and more room availability — perfect for last-minute getaways or romantic escapes.

April – May: The Green Season

Expect occasional rain, especially in the afternoons. But with it comes fresh air, flowering gardens, and the most photogenic views of Mount Meru.

A1 Perk: Discounted packages for long-stay guests and amazing views of the surrounding hills.

June – October: Peak Travel Season

This is the dry season and the most popular time to visit Arusha. Great weather, lots of outdoor activity options, and many guests combine their hotel stay with day trips or safari connections.

A1 Perk: Book early to secure our Executive Rooms or Presidential Villas, which fill quickly during this period.

November – December: Warm Holidays

Short rains arrive, but they’re often light and leave plenty of time to explore. The festive season brings energy, culture, and color to the city.
