The belief that Africa is a continent of dry seasons is just a misconception as there are countries in Africa where snows are no surprises.

These countries, located at higher altitudes or further from the equator, show that Africa’s geographical diversity also extends to its climate.

This variety challenges the narrow perceptions many hold about Africa, reminding us that it is a continent of contrasts. From tropical rainforests to snow-capped mountains, Africa’s climate reflects its vast landscape, which is as diverse as its people and cultures.

Here are the five countries in Africa where snow falls.

South Africa

South Africa is a vast nation featuring a diverse array of landscapes. The winter season lasts from June to August, and for those interested in experiencing snow, the Drakensberg Mountains are the ideal destination. This area attracts visitors who enjoy taking photographs in the snowy scenery and engaging in activities like sledding.

Morocco

In Morocco, snowfall primarily occurs between December and February, though it is limited to the northern regions of the country, particularly in the Rif and Atlas Mountains. Snowfall is not guaranteed every year, making it a somewhat unpredictable phenomenon.

During these winter months, temperatures in the mountainous areas can plummet to as low as -8 degrees Celsius, creating a stark contrast to the warmer climates found elsewhere in the country. The combination of cold temperatures and occasional snow transforms the landscape, drawing visitors for activities such as skiing and snowboarding in places like Oukaïmeden and Michlifen.

This unique winter experience adds to Morocco’s diverse climatic offerings, showcasing its ability to cater to both winter sports enthusiasts and those seeking to enjoy its stunning snowy vistas.

Tanzania

Although many regions of Tanzania get cold enough to wear sweaters and boots, the only place in the country with snow is Mt. Kilimanjaro.

The summit of the mountain can get extremely cold with arctic temperatures and heavy snowfall.

Snow is more common during Kilimanjaro’s dry season which runs from mid-June to October but the most amount of snow is during the month of December with very cold temperatures. The months to expect snow are June, July, and August.

Uganda

Uganda experiences snow exclusively on the peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains. The summit is very cold, frequently covered in snow and glaciers. Some travelers choose to hike up to see the snow firsthand, while others prefer to enjoy the view from lower elevations.

Lesotho

Lesotho boasts some of the tallest mountains in Africa, which contribute to its potential for snowfall. The winter months, spanning from June to August, frequently see temperatures dipping to around 0 degrees Celsius. This mountainous terrain creates conditions conducive to cold weather, making snow a common occurrence during this season.
