When is the best time to visit Zanzibar? This is a very common question we get.
Zanzibar has ideal weather for most of the year. The hot summer days are cooled by the pleasant sea breeze, specifically on the North and East coasts. With Zanzibar being situated near the equator the island is warm year round but especially so in December.

The main rainy season is around March to May. Afternoon tropical shower are common during this season. The humidity is high and the temperatures normally reach the mid 30s.

June to October is the dry season when there is very little rain. Temperatures vary depending on the location but generally it’s usually clear skies and sunny weather.
