Zanzibar in July

In July, the winds start to pick up a bit, giving the beaches a lovely breeze! While that might make lounging less comfy, it’s perfect for enjoying exciting wind watersports.

On the other hand, you can add sightseeing to your agenda, and Stone Town is a hotspot destination in Zanzibar. Here, you can learn about the historical significance of architecture, such as the House of Wonders and the Arab Fort.

If you love food, you’ll definitely want to check out the spice plantation and see some unique plants in Zanzibar as well as learn interesting facts about it! It’s a great opportunity to see some of the spices that are commonly used around here, and who knows—you might even want to try them in your own cooking at home!

Get up close with the plants and learn more about the delicious flavours that make local dishes so special.

Weather in July

The weather in July is typically great and mirrors that of June. The only difference this time around is that it is much more windy. However, this isn’t a bad thing as it allows winding watersports.
