Zanzibar Island Travel Forum

My boyfrind and I are considering travelling to Zanibar after doing a safari in Kenya for our honeymoon. We'd be going late March/early April. I have heard that the rainy season starts in March. Is it worth going as we'd only be there for 4 nights?

Howdy there
Cong. for your wedding and happy Honey moon.
yep you heard almost right rainy season start in April till May
here is info

Zanzibar experiences ideal holiday weather for most of the year, with the exception of April and May which are seasonally subject to the long rains.

Short rains can occur in November but are characterized by short showers which do not last long.

Due to extreme climatic changes the World is experiencing at the moment, trying to predict the weather can be difficult because of local, on the day variations.
Most places now are seeing weather conditions well outside the norm.
The information below should be used as a guide only.

Here is the average weather for Zanzibar for this time of year.
