Optimal travel time: When to best experience Zanzibar
The best time to travel for a Zanzibar group trip depends on your personal preferences. In principle, Zanzibar is an attractive destination all year round, but there are certain months that are particularly suitable for a visit. We provide you with an overview of the different seasons and their advantages and disadvantages.
Best time for a beach holiday
January-February and June-October (avoid the rainy season in April and May). The best time for a beach holiday in Zanzibar is from January to February and from June to October. During these months, the weather is dry and sunny, and the temperatures are pleasantly warm. Avoid the rainy season in April and May, as there are often heavy rains during these months. Journaway recommends avoiding the heavy tropical rains in April and May if you are planning a beach holiday.
Temperatures and weather conditions
Pleasant temperatures all year round between 25°C and 30°C. Zanzibar experiences pleasant temperatures all year round between 25°C and 30°C. However, the humidity is relatively high, which can be perceived as unpleasant, especially in the summer months of July and August. In the winter months of December and January, the humidity is somewhat lower. Djoser states that the temperatures are between 25°C and 30°C all year round, although there can be short, heavy rains during the European winter months.
Rainy season and its impact
Short, heavy rains possible during the European winter months. Even during the dry season, Zanzibar can experience short, heavy rains. These are usually brief and have little impact on holidays. However, during the rainy season in April and May, you should expect longer and more intense rainfalls. Djoser points out that there can be short, heavy rains during the European winter months.
