Zanzibar is a great destination year-round, but the best time to visit depends on your preferences. The dry season from June to October is perfect for beach activities, diving, and exploring the island, while December to February offers sunny weather with slightly higher temperatures. For fewer crowds and good deals, consider visiting during the short rainy season in November or the long rainy season from March to May.
Yes, most visitors will need a visa to enter Zanzibar, which is part of Tanzania. You can obtain a tourist visa on arrival at the airport or apply for one in advance through the Tanzanian embassy or consulate in your country. The visa fee is typically $50 USD for most nationalities, but it’s always a good idea to check the latest requirements before you travel.
Zanzibar is generally a safe destination, but it is wise to take precautions. Avoid isolated areas, especially at night, and keep your belongings secure. When swimming or diving, be aware of tides and currents. It’s advisable to use reputable tour operators for excursions and avoid dealing with unlicensed guides or beach vendors.
The local currency in Zanzibar is the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS). While US dollars are widely accepted, especially in tourist areas, you will get better rates using the local currency for smaller purchases.

It’s recommended to check with your local health provider for up-to-date advice on vaccinations before traveling to Zanzibar. Common vaccinations include Hepatitis A, Typhoid, and routine vaccinations. A yellow fever vaccination is required if you’re arriving from a country with a risk of yellow fever transmission. It’s also wise to take precautions against malaria by using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves in the evening, and taking anti-malarial medication if advised by your doctor.
