Visiting Zanzibar between October and January? El NiΓ±o is visiting too. π§οΈ
Tanzania's met office and the regional climate centre ICPAC expect a wetter than usual short rainy season this year, from October 2026 into January 2027, with November looking like the rainiest month.
Should you skip the trip? Not at all. The sea stays warm, the beaches are quieter and the island gets even greener. Just plan in a little flexibility and keep a few rainy-day tours up your sleeve: Jozani Forest & Salaam Cave, Stone Town & Spice Farm or the Quad & Village Tour.
And if the weather doesn't allow your tour, we'll message you on WhatsApp and rebook it.
