Zanzibar in March

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

March marks the start of the long rains, and around this time of year, the weather is often a mix of hot sunny days and short, fierce thunderstorms.

Rain typically doesn’t continue for days, and diving conditions stay excellent until mid-March before the long rains occur more frequently.

Before the rain intensifies, there are plenty of activities to enjoy. Zanzibar boasts numerous fascinating locations, and Stone Town – a Unesco World Heritage city, is one of its top tourist attractions.

At Stone Town, you have many architectural treasures to explore, such as The House of Wonders and the Arab Fort, which gives a glimpse into the town’s rich cultural heritage.

Weather in March

Rain starts to fall by mid-March, but temperatures remain relatively high, reaching an average of 30 degrees.
