DRY SEASON

July to October are a nice time to visit the coast and the Islands of Zanzibar, Mafia and Pemba although unlike most of the more temperate inland safari regions the climate is tropical and occasional showers are possible at any time of year.

The dry summer months between December and February are also a great time to visit and conditions are particularly good for scuba diving.

green SEASON

The main rainy season runs from Mid March through to early June and we normally advise against a beach holiday at this time as the monsoon winds and rains can make conditions unpleasant.

SHOULDER SEASON

In these months there may be a bit more rain but hotel prices are usually lower and most guests will find the climate quite pleasant
