These months are perfect for safaris and beach excursions, thanks to the pleasant climate and outstanding wildlife viewing. However, be prepared for elevated hotel prices and busier parks and attractions.
This time strikes a balance with moderate hotel rates and fewer crowds. While the weather can be unpredictable and some attractions may have limited access due to rain, you can still enjoy excellent wildlife sightings and a more tranquil safari experience.
Ideal for those on a budget, the low season offers the most affordable hotel rates and the least crowded parks. Although heavy rains can impact travel plans, they also create a lush and vibrant landscape that enhances the beauty of your surroundings.
Some dose of history to ick-off your Zanzibar visit: When the Portuguese arrived in 1498, they found on the coast a series of independent towns, inhabited by Arabs, but not united to Arabia by any political tie. Their relations with these Arabs were mostly hostile, but during the sixteenth century they firmly established their power, and ruled with the aid of tributary Arab sultans. This system lasted till 1631, when the Sultan of Mombasa massacred the European inhabitants.
Today, you will embark on a guided walking tour through the historic streets of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your guide will lead you through its fascinating labyrinth of alleys, past landmarks such as the Old Fort, the House of Wonders, and the Sultan’s Palace. You will also visit bustling markets and local artisan shops. The afternoon is free for you to continue exploring at your own pace or simply relax at your hotel.
After lunch we take you to your beach resort.
In the morning, you will visit one of Zanzibar’s famous spice farms.

In the afternoon, you will transfer to a stunning beach resort where you can unwind by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.
Today is all about relaxation. Spend your time lounging on the powdery white sands of Paje or Jambiani Beach. You may choose to swim, sunbathe, or simply walk along the endless shoreline. If you prefer not to spend this day resting, we can also organize a personalized program just for you!
Your day begins with a trip to the Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, home to the rare and playful Red Colobus Monkeys. After a guided forest walk, you will explore the mangrove boardwalks nearby. In the afternoon, you will visit a traditional Swahili village, where you can experience authentic local life, interact with the villagers, and learn about traditional crafts and daily activities.

In the late afternoon, you will experience one of Zanzibar’s most breathtaking sunsets, watching as the sky transforms into a canvas of vivid colors over the Indian Ocean.
To complete this perfect day, you will enjoy dinner at the world-famous The Rock Restaurant – one of Zanzibar’s most iconic dining spots.
Set atop a natural coral rock in the Indian Ocean, The Rock seems to float magically on the water during high tide.

Savor freshly prepared seafood dishes while surrounded by panoramic views of the ocean, creating a magical and romantic setting that will undoubtedly become one of the highlights of your trip.

Following the cultural visit, you will continue to a local coffee plantation, where you will learn about the entire coffee production process — from planting to roasting. Depending on the season, you may even witness coffee harvesting. The tour concludes with a freshly brewed cup of local Tanzanian coffee and the opportunity to enjoy a traditional lunch at the plantation, often accompanied by panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro or the surrounding landscapes.
