Zanzibar in October

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Zanzibar in October

As the dry season wraps up, it’s the perfect time to soak up all the amazing things Zanzibar has to offer! While the short rains usually start in November, you still have plenty of sunny days to enjoy the warm and dry weather.

This is such a great chance for windsurfing, swimming, and diving before the rainy season rolls in!

If you’re planning a trip to Zanzibar, make sure to check out Pemba Island! It’s a beautiful spot to enjoy those last sunny moments.

And don’t forget to visit Pemba Fort and Old Kilwa while you’re there—they’re definitely must-see gems.

All that’s left now is packing and preparing for a memorable holiday in Zanzibar.

Weather in October

October is a hot month and the perfect time to explore and laze around on the beach. While there are many activities and things to see, you can still make your holiday your own by doing things in your leisure time.
