Once the summer rains have watered the grass, take a trip to the national parks of Tanzania and spend your vacation in their peaceful surroundings. Stay in Musoma, the capital of the Mara region, which sits on the edge of Lake Victoria and is just a drive away from the Serengeti National Park – home to lions, elephants, and buffalo, to name just a few – and the Grumeti Game Reserve and Ikorongo Game Reserve. Whilst the likelihood of rainfall in the winter months is high, average temperatures reach 28 degrees celsius in November, December and January.
