Seasonal Travel Advice

Zanzibar welcomes visitors throughout the year, but passenger numbers are highest during June to October, when the weather is cooler and drier, and from December to February, when many travellers visit during the festive season and European winter. The island experiences two rainy seasons. The long rains (March to May) and the short rains (October to November) may occasionally affect travel plans, although flights generally continue to operate as scheduled. Road traffic on Zanzibar is usually moderate, but travel times can increase around Stone Town, ferry terminals and the airport during busy tourist periods. If you’re travelling to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, allow extra time during public holidays and peak tourist seasons. For international flights, arriving at least three hours before departure is recommended. For domestic flights within Tanzania, arriving around two hours before departure is generally sufficient.
