The ideal place for your dream holiday.
Zanzibar is the ultimate Indian Ocean experience, with its fascinating history, incredible nature, enchanting sunset and magnificent beaches, altogether embraced by the scent of exotic spices. If you are looking for a peaceful yet active escape, Zanzibar is the perfect place to give rein to your holiday wanderlust.
The best time to visit Zanzibar is from July to August and December to February. These are the dry seasons, so the weather is warm and there is less chance of rain ruining planned excursions.
These seasons link perfectly with Tanzania if you are looking to combine your trip with a safari or trek.
Like Tanzania, Zanzibar has two rainy seasons, one short, the other long. The long rainy season often sees monsoons from March to May, which means the beaches are crowd-free and hotels offer discount rates, but you will be sunbathing in torrential rain!
Zanzibar offers a number of outdoor activities and water sports, including cycling, kitesurfing, diving, or just general island hopping. Most hotels are based on the mainland, but if you want to escape the bustle of the main island’s beaches, there are plenty of smaller islands to give you that marooned-on-a-desert-island experience.
Explore one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations on game drives and guided walks across the Serengeti’s open savannah plains. Tick Tanzania’s many birds off your list, and spend the evenings gazing at the stars, as plentiful as the migratory herds (Wilderness Experiences Nature).
What sets us apart at Nature & Leisure in Africa is our expertise in organizing safe and unforgettable trekking adventures to Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak.
