When is the best time to visit Zanzibar?

The best time to visit Zanzibar is during the dry seasons, from June to October and from December to February. The weather is warm and sunny, making it ideal for beach activities and water sports. The shoulder seasons in March, November, and early December are also great for avoiding crowds.
