Zanzibar is a sensory explosion where ocean breezes meet the scent of vanilla and cloves.

When to visit Zanzibar

For the quintessential Zanzibar beach holiday with perfect, sunny weather, plan your trip during the cool, dry season from June to October. For a hotter and more humid experience with a chance of refreshing showers, the period from November to March is also a great option. It is best to avoid the main rainy season of April and May, which sees heavy, persistent rainfall and can disrupt travel plans.
