Best Time to Go
This holiday can be taken all year round. In general, Zanzibar’s drier months from about June to October and from December to February are the most popular for boat trips and beach time, with calm seas and good snorkelling. The long rains from about March to May and the short rains around November bring more rain, which can affect sea conditions. Dolphin sightings and snorkelling visibility depend on the weather, the tide and the sea on the day. Our team can advise on the best dates for your holiday.
