Best Time to Visit Zanzibar for Tours

Zanzibar enjoys a tropical climate year-round, but timing your visit around the island's dry seasons will give you the best experience for tours and excursions.

Best for Tours

June – October

Long Dry Season

The prime season for all Zanzibar tours. Clear skies, calm seas, and low humidity make this the ideal time for Safari Blue, snorkeling, and safaris.

Safari Blue Mnemba Snorkeling Safaris
Great for Beaches

December – March

Short Dry Season

Hot, dry, and perfect for beach holidays. Nungwi and Kendwa beaches are at their best. Excellent ocean visibility for snorkeling and diving.

Beach Tours Sunset Dhow Dolphins
Shoulder Season

November

Short Rains

Brief afternoon showers only. Most tours run normally. Lower hotel rates and a quieter island — great for cultural tours and Stone Town.

Stone Town Spice Farm Cultural Tours
Low Season

March – May

Long Rains (Masika)

Heaviest rains, especially April and May. Some boat tours may pause on rough days. Best prices of the year for budget-conscious travellers.

Budget Travel Jozani Forest Quiet

Insider tip: The best overall value window is late September to early October — still peak-season weather but rates begin to soften as European school holidays end. For the freshest spice farm experience, visit just after the short rains in December when the farms are lush.

Amazing tour – highly recommended! The tour was excellent. Our guide, Nassor, picked us up directly at the ferry terminal and stayed with us from start to finish. He shared many interesting stories and demonstrated great knowledge throughout the entire tour. We first took a boat to Prison Island (the turtle island), then visited the sandbank, where a wonderful seafood lunch was prepared for us. After that, we returned to the city for the historical tour. The team also helped us with purchasing the ferry tickets, which was extremely helpful and made everything much easier. I highly recommend this tour!

A Dream Realized In Zanzibar My Family's Unforgettable Week in Zanzibar with Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari Like many, my first glimpse of Zanzibar was through the captivating videos on TikTok. The turquoise waters, pristine beaches, and vibrant culture sparked a dream within me, a dream I finally realized this past November with my family. As an Irish native, planning a trip to such a distant and exotic locale felt daunting, especially when initial attempts to connect with various tourist companies proved fruitless. Misinformation was rampant, and responses were slow or nonexistent, leaving me feeling frustrated and uncertain. That's when I stumbled upon Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari. From the moment I reached out, I experienced a level of responsiveness and care that was truly exceptional. Wadi, our contact at Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari, immediately understood my vision for a week long family adventure in Zanzibar. He meticulously crafted a personalized itinerary, taking into account our interests and preferences. From the moment we touched down at the airport, Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari took care of everything. A friendly driver greeted us and transported us to our hotel, setting the tone for a week of seamless travel. Each day, our dedicated driver arrived promptly, ready to whisk us away to new and exciting experiences. We explored spice plantations, swam with dolphins, wandered through the historic streets of Stone Town, and relaxed on the beaches. all without a single worry or logistical hiccup. What truly set Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari apart was their commitment to comfort, relaxation, and attention to detail. Every aspect of our trip was carefully considered, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience for the entire family. There were no hidden fees, no unexpected surprises, and no high-pressure sales tactics. Just genuine hospitality and a desire to make our vacation truly special. I wholeheartedly recommend Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari to anyone planning a trip to this enchanting island. While there are many travel companies to choose from, Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari stands out for its transparency, integrity, and personalized service. With Wadi at the helm, you can rest assured that your trip will be meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. He is an amazing person who organized my trip and everything go perfect, smoothly. Thanks to Wadi, my family and I created memories that will last a lifetime. If you want to experience the magic of Zanzibar without the stress of planning, look no further than Blue Green Zanzibar Tour and Safari. You won't be disappointed!

Ein Erlebnis Die Tour hat uns sehr gut gefallen, besonders die Besichtigung der Gewürzfarm. Die deutschsprachige Guide war klasse. Es war ein echtes Erlebnis, auch für meine Frau, die nur schlecht Englisch versteht. Das Mittagessen und der Nachtisch mit frischen Früchten war sehr schmackhaft. Die deutschsprachige Tour durch Stone Town war ebenfalls gut, aber insgesamt nicht so toll wie die Spice Farm.

Outstanding experience with Blue Green Safari Zanzibar! We had an amazing experience with Blue Green Safari. From start to finish, the team was highly professional, punctual, and incredibly accommodating. We were traveling with two toddlers, and they went out of their way to make everything smooth and comfortable for us — adjusting plans when needed and always being patient and kind. What really stood out was their genuine care and flexibility. They didn’t just treat us like clients; they truly cared about our experience. They even helped us arrange donations for a local school and village, which meant a lot to us and made the trip feel even more meaningful. If you’re planning any tours or excursions in Zanzibar, I can’t recommend Blue Green Safari enough. They’re reliable, thoughtful, and go above and beyond to ensure you have a memorable and stress-free experience.

Blue and Green Zanzibar - Tours and Safari Thank you very much for the incredible experience! Your service was truly amazing, and we were so happy during our entire stay. Every driver and guide we met was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our trip special. A big thank you to our driver Hamdun, he was such a great companion throughout our travels. Always in a good mood, playing great music, helpful, and smiling. He really made the journey even more enjoyable. A special mention also goes to Nasser, our guide for the Blue Safari. Nasser was beyond amazing! Such a great guy, friendly, fun, super helpful, and just a joy to be around. He made the whole day unforgettable. The guides at Nakupenda also took excellent care of us and prepared a fantastic lunch. Everything was perfectly arranged. It was an unforgettable trip, thanks to you and the entire team. We’ll truly miss Zanzibar. Thank you again!
