The best time to visit Zanzibar is during the dry season, which typically runs from June to October. During this time, rainfall is minimal, and temperatures are comfortable, making it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities, such as beach lounging, snorkeling, and exploring the island's attractions.

However, keep in mind that Zanzibar is a popular destination year-round, so booking accommodations and activities in advance is advisable, especially during peak tourist seasons.
