They both come in two phases. The dry season runs from December to February and Mid June to September. The wet seasons run from October to November and March to mid June. Tanzania at large has a short rainy season during this month. It usually runs from October to November.
Ngorongoro in November, it can rain any time of the day and sometimes it can rain all day or all night. The Safari to Ngorongoro is possible throughout the year although during this particular month, you will need to take special effort to go through the hike as the trails can be muddy and slippery.
