Zanzibar is just a 20-minute flight from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, a 2 hour flight from Arusha, and a 90-minute flight from Nairobi, Kenya, making it a convenient stop pre or post safari.
The island is also accessible through a few international airlines that offer direct flights to Abeid Amani Karume International airport, which is located on the island’s southwest coast. Transfers from the airport to Matemwe Beach are by road and take approximately 90 minutes.
Zanzibar has brilliant hot, sunny beach weather nearly all year round. July to October is reliably hot and sunny, with prevailing trade winds cooling things down just enough.
The humidity of November is relieved by afternoon showers. From December to March, temperatures cool down slightly (a good thing) and the northeast winds back off quite considerably; you can still expect occasional rainshowers, but all things considered this is a great time to visit.
