Best time to travel
Zanzibar has tropical weather year-round, but the dry season (June to October) is most comfortable if you want to avoid rain. January to February is also a good option. The rainy season (March to May and November) is less popular and often has tighter pricing, although constant rain isn't for everyone.
What to do when you arrive in Zanzibar

Nungwi Beach in the north and Paje Beach in the east are classic destinations. Diving and snorkelling enthusiasts find spectacular reefs.
