Zanzibar Info
Zanzibar Weather
On a tropical island the weather's almost always good!
Just below the imaginary line around the Earth called the equator, Zanzibar’s weather is a lot like the weather along Tanzania’s coast. If you’ve just been in places like Arusha or Moshi, Zanzibar will feel pleasantly warm. The temperatures on Zanzibar are generally good, but there are a couple of times when it rains.
The main rainy season, known as the ‘long rains,’ happens in March, April, and May. It can rain a lot, especially in the morning and afternoon, and the air can feel quite humid during these months.
The long dry season, which is considered the best time to visit Zanzibar, lasts from June to October. This means you can expect clear blue skies and sunny weather!
In November and December, there’s another rainy season called the ‘short rains.’ These rains are lighter than the main ones and not as reliable. However, it’s still a great time to visit Zanzibar because it’s warm. You can still enjoy activities, as the rain usually falls in the early morning or late afternoon, and the rest of the day stays dry.
