Destinations Zanzibar

Weather & climate in Zanzibar

Weather in Zanzibar follows broader East African patterns — two rainy seasons and two drier windows — but local altitude and forest cover can shift temperatures more than maps suggest.

Plan your Zanzibar safari Safari packages

Weather in Zanzibar follows broader East African patterns — two rainy seasons and two drier windows — but local altitude and forest cover can shift temperatures more than maps suggest.

Days are often warm; nights cool down at altitude and in forest camps — layer clothing rather than relying on a single forecast.

Long rains typically peak March–May; shorter rains appear October–November, though patterns shift year to year.

Does it rain a lot in Zanzibar?

Rain is possible year-round; waterproof layers and dry bags for trekking gear are sensible even in “dry” months.
