Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Zanzibar is during the dry season, from June to October. This period offers warm and sunny weather, perfect for beach activities, diving, and sightseeing. The long rains occur from March to May, bringing heavy showers, and some areas may be less accessible during this time. The short rains in November and December are less intense and still allow for good travel conditions, but the weather is less predictable. Zanzibar’s mild temperatures and stunning beaches make it a year-round destination, though the dry season offers the most favourable conditions.
