When is the Best Time to Visit Zanzibar?

Determining the Best Time to Visit Zanzibar depends on various factors, including weather preferences, budget, and desired activities. Generally, Zanzibar experiences two main seasons: the dry season and the rainy season.

Popular Times to Visit Zanzibar:

Peak Season (December to February)

The months of December to February constitute Zanzibar's peak season, attracting a high influx of tourists seeking sunny skies and warm temperatures. During this time, the weather is typically hot and dry, ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports. However, it's essential to book accommodations and activities well in advance, as prices tend to be higher, and popular attractions can be crowded.

Shoulder Season (July to November)

The shoulder season, spanning from July to November, offers favourable weather conditions with mild temperatures and minimal rainfall. This period is particularly popular for wildlife enthusiasts interested in witnessing the annual wildebeest migration in nearby Tanzania. Additionally, accommodation rates may be more affordable compared to the peak season, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious travellers.

Low Season (March to June)

The low season in Zanzibar, occurring from March to June, is characterized by sporadic rainfall and higher humidity levels. While this period may not be ideal for beach activities, it presents unique opportunities for cultural experiences, such as exploring Stone Town's historic sites and engaging with local communities. Moreover, travellers can benefit from discounted rates on accommodations and fewer crowds at popular attractions.

Final Thought:

This beautiful Zanzibar Island is ideal for year-round travel, because of its soul-soothing temperature. There are basically two weather casts in Zanzibar – one is the dry season and the other is the rainy season. So, either you may visit during the dry season which is between April and October to soak under the sun and enjoy the best of adventure activities or you may opt from November to March which is the rainy and wet season.

Our Traveler Says

“Omar has been an incredible find. It is so difficult to choose a particular person to arrange the various tours available in Zanzibar. We used him for a small group tour (blue safari which left from PAje) which went really well.”!

“Absolutely fantastic experience. Safari at Mikumi Park organised by Omar was just perfect. Everything was on time, we were never left alone. Only 1hour flight to Tanzania with a small plane was already an experience in itself.”!
