Best Time to Visit Zanzibar
May 18, 2026 · By Teyezilla Travel Team
The best time to visit Zanzibar is June to October, the dry season, or December to February, a warmer secondary dry window.
Zanzibar has two dry seasons: June to October and December to February.
The long rains fall from March to May and are worth avoiding for a beach-focused trip, though prices and crowds are both lower during that window for travelers with flexibility.
