Dry seasons, festivals and quiet shoulder months — when to go for the Zanzibar trip you’re dreaming of.
Zanzibar is a year-round destination, but the experience changes dramatically with the seasons. Here’s how to pick the perfect window.
The dry seasons
June to October is cool, dry and ideal for the beaches and diving. December to February is hot and clear — peak season for a reason.
Shoulder months
Travel in the quieter months for better prices and fewer crowds, with only a small chance of rain.
