The ideal time to visit Zanzibar

This is a thorough overview on the climate in Zanzibar. Keep in mind that this is based on the facts and our expertise rather than a crystal ball. Africa's weather patterns are getting more erratic, most likely as a result of global warming. We observe damaging droughts when it should rain as well as torrential rainfall in the middle of a desert.

The weather of Zanzibar, which is south of the equator, is quite similar to that in Tanzania, albeit being occasionally rainier during the dry season than it is in central Tanzania.

The "long rain" or primary rainy season often lasts from March through May. Tropical downpours in the afternoon are typical. Any island can experience this intensity. High humidity and low 30s for daytime temps.

A lengthy dry season with very infrequent showers follows the months of June, July, August, September, and October. The ideal time to visit Zanzibar is often when the sky are clear and it's sunny because temperatures fluctuate drastically depending on height and location. November and December are another wet season. "gentle drizzle." These are less dependable and considerably lighter than the main rain. If it rains during the brief rainy season, it often dries out in January and February for a number of months. This is Tanzania's "short dry season," which lasts until March, when the rainy season officially starts.
