You won’t be able to get enough of the picturesque sunsets. That’s why we recommend this destination with its romantic moments to our honeymooners.

When should you visit Zanzibar?

The most tourists visit the island during the dry season from June to October. During this time, the weather is generally sunny and warm, with little rainfall. This is also the time when the waters around the islands are clearest and ideal for snorkeling. However, it’s also the peak season with more tourists, and it can be crowded and more expensive. We therefore recommend that you also consider the months before and after the dry season.
