Going To Zanzibar between August To October
August – October’s weather is usually not excessively hot and not excessively damp. Consistently, calming breezes start to advance in from the south as the islands get ready for the late spring months.
September is a great month all over Zanzibar, yet the Mafia Archipelago brings something particularly amazing to the table – turtle hatching and diving conditions in more profound channels. Scuba lovers truly do have to design their dives cautiously during September, as a few other seaward regions will more often become a little rough.
October is an ideal time for going to Zanzibar as the days are comprised of cool breezes, quiet oceans and clear skies. The ocean’s temperatures start to rise, and the nights bit by bit become hotter, not long before the downpours of November start.
Visiting Zanzibar During November And December
Normally expected to begin in November when the temperatures climb, the ‘short downpours’ break the dry mid-year winter. Clouds normally develop during the mornings (which can be somewhat bright and damp) and break in beautifully, yet for the most part fleeting showers in the evenings – giving you sufficient opportunity to relax by the beach bar, partake in a massage or yoga prior to getting back to your sun lounger.
There is anyway more possibility of daylight towards Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The Mafia Archipelago is where to go in Zanzibar in December on the grounds that its primary feature is the chance to dive with whale sharks.
