Best Time to Visit Zanzibar

Zanzibar is a great destination year-round, but the best time to visit is during the dry seasons from June to October or December to February. These months offer the best beach weather, with sunny skies and warm temperatures. Even during the wet season (mid-March to May and November), Zanzibar remains beautiful, as rain showers are brief, and the temperature stays around a pleasant 28°C. February is the hottest month (28°C on average), while July is the coolest (24°C on average).

Zanzibar Hotels and Lodging

Zanzibar offers a wide range of accommodation options, from budget-friendly lodges to luxurious beachfront resorts. Ubuntu Safari and Tours has a deep knowledge of the island’s accommodations and can help you select the perfect place for your stay. We particularly recommend small bed & breakfasts for their personal touch and friendly staff, who go the extra mile to ensure your stay is unforgettable. Additionally, staying at a bed & breakfast gives you the flexibility to explore Zanzibar’s many fantastic restaurants and bars, where you can enjoy spectacular ocean views and a laid-back island ambiance.
