All about Zanzibar

When to Visit

The best time to visit Zanzibar is during the dry seasons: from June to October and December to February. These months offer sunny days, calm seas, and ideal conditions for exploring beaches and engaging in water sports. The rainy seasons, from March to May and November, bring heavier showers and high humidity but can still be a quieter and budget-friendly time to visit.

Getting Around

Traveling around Zanzibar is easy with a mix of options. Taxis and private drivers are the most convenient ways to explore the island, especially for trips between beaches and Stone Town. Dala-dalas, shared minibuses, are a budget-friendly option for short distances but can be crowded. Many visitors also rent bicycles or scooters for a more adventurous and flexible way to get around.

Traveler Tips

Pack lightweight clothing, but bring a shawl or scarf to respect local customs when visiting villages or mosques. Use sunscreen and mosquito repellent, as Zanzibar’s tropical climate is sunny and humid. Carry cash in Tanzanian shillings or U.S. dollars for small purchases, as credit cards are not widely accepted in remote areas. Don’t miss trying local dishes like Zanzibar pizza and spiced tea. Finally, always confirm ferry or flight schedules to avoid last-minute surprises.
