Zanzibar, like the rest of Tanzania, has a dry subtropical climate. On the coast and islands, the temperature is quite high almost all year round and ranges between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius. In the center of the country you can experience more moderate temperatures, which range between 16 and 25 degrees Celsius.
During the greatest heatwaves, i.e. in the months from December to March, the air temperature is around 40 degrees Celsius and the water temperature is 30 degrees Celsius. It is always muggy and humid on the coast and on the islands. Zanzibar, due to the monsoons, can be an excellent choice for a holiday for people practicing water sports.
You can visit Tanzania and Zanzibar virtually all year round. Depending on how “warmth-loving” we are, you can visit this amazing place during periods of the greatest heat or during slightly lower ones.
