Best Time to Visit Zanzibar
June – October: Dry Season & Perfect Beach Weather
From June to October, Zanzibar enjoys its best weather — warm sunshine, calm seas, and gentle breezes. It’s the perfect time for beach holidays, snorkeling, diving, and sailing. With minimal rain and clear skies, these months offer ideal conditions for honeymooners and families seeking a classic tropical escape.
November: Short Rains & Refreshing Scenery
Light, short rains bring a refreshing change to the island, painting Zanzibar in shades of green. The beaches remain quiet and beautiful, and the rain usually falls in brief bursts, leaving plenty of time for exploration and relaxation. It’s a peaceful and often more affordable time to visit before the festive season.
December – February: Festive Season & Lively Vibes
This is Zanzibar at its most vibrant. Warm, sunny days make it ideal for swimming, diving, and exploring Stone Town’s lively markets. The island comes alive with energy, making it the perfect escape for those seeking both relaxation and celebration during the festive months.
March – May: Green Season & Fewer Crowds
From March to May, Zanzibar enters its main rainy season — a quieter period filled with lush beauty and tranquility. While there are occasional showers, they bring the island to life with vibrant vegetation. This is a great time for travelers looking for peaceful resorts, fewer tourists, and special off-season rates.

Schnorcheln, Delfine, Sandbank und Seesterne Es war wirklich ein schöner Tripp für einen fairen Preis. Zuerst sieht man ein paar Delfine schwimmen, dann geht's zum Schnorcheln und zur Sandbank wo man wirklich sehr schön relaxen kann und frisches Obst bekommt und Wasser. Es ist alles im Preis mit inbegriffen. Zum Schluss fährt man noch Seesterne im Meer anschauen. Der Kapitän war sehr freundlich und man fühlt sich wohl an Bord. Ich würde diesen Tripp mit guten Gewissen weiter empfehlen.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Not only an incredible travel agency, but also our new friends in Tanzania We were lucky to find this travel agency at the beginning of our trip. We booked 5 activities with them and all were organized flawlessly and with great care. They always made sure that we had a great time and even came with us on the trips (in addition to the boat/taxi drivers). Amon and Nema became our friends for the week in Zanzibar - hope to see them again on future Tanzania trips! Great value for money as well (half compared to our hotel). Highly recommend this agency.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

A great day trip to Stone Town We met Amon at his office by the beach first. His friendly and quiet, non - pushy manner was appealing after meeting other tour operators. He listened well to my questions and spoke very good English saying he could help us with personalised private tours and get back to me on prices, which he did later that day. We agreed on private Stone Town tour with a local guide we would meet there. Amon and taxi driver picked us up at 8.30 am . We enjoyed conversation on the journey, learning about each other’s countries , families and life styles. It was good to see the countryside and village life on the journey. Amon showed us many photos and videos he had taken with other clients on different trips. The taxi driver was a good driver and the taxi itself clean and comfort . We had to do a few errands before meeting with the guide which Amon was happy to help with. Stone Town was very interesting and the guide Suliman very informative and spoke English very well. We learnt a lot, went at our own pace and got a feel of the atmosphere of the place and its mix of cultures. We saw the sights, had plenty of time to talk , learn and take photos. Must have had the guide for about 2 hours and then we continued with Amon to the slave museum which is a must see to anyone visiting Stone Town. It was very well presented and documented, very poignant and moving. We did not leave until 4 pm to return to Nungwi , a journey of about 1.5 hrsPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Outstanding Experience with Zanzibar Activities Office I had an outstanding experience with this activity office in Zanzibar. The team was extremely friendly, professional, and always willing to help. I didn’t need to worry about going anywhere else – they provided everything I needed with great care and efficiency. What impressed me the most was their honesty, reliability, and deep knowledge of the island. They truly made my stay smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend working with them to anyone visiting Zanzibar – their credibility and expertise are second to none. -AtheerPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Good tours and a even greater tour operator Good tours and a even greater tour operator, who is also a very nice person (Amon). The prices are fair and the Dolphin tour for example was beautiful.
