Where is Zanzibar Located?

Zanzibar is an idyllic island archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, about 35 km from Dar es Salaam. Known as the “Spice Island,” it’s celebrated for its fragrant plantations, historical sites, and pristine beaches that stretch endlessly along the Indian Ocean.

The island is easily accessible by flight or ferry from mainland Tanzania, making it an ideal extension for travelers coming from a mainland safari in Serengeti or Ngorongoro.

A Unique Experience with Christrip Zanzibar Tours

Every journey is designed to capture the island’s magic, from sunrise over the ocean to sunset dhow sails. Our guided tours immerse you in Zanzibar’s vibrant culture, nature, and history.

Popular experiences include spice farm visits, snorkeling in Mnemba Atoll, and swimming with turtles at Nungwi, a memorable encounter that brings you face-to-face with these gentle marine creatures in their natural habitat.

Best Time to Visit Zanzibar

Zanzibar is a year-round tropical destination, but each season offers a unique charm.

Dry Season (June to October)

The dry season is widely regarded as the best time for Zanzibar Tours and beach vacations. During these months, the island enjoys long, sunny days, calm seas, and refreshing ocean breezes, perfect for snorkeling, diving, and island-hopping adventures. 

The crystal-clear waters offer excellent visibility for exploring coral reefs, while the beaches are ideal for relaxation and sunset strolls.

Green Season (November to May)

Zanzibar’s green season paints the island in rich shades of emerald, transforming it into a peaceful tropical paradise. Light tropical showers bring out the island’s lush vegetation and cooler atmosphere, ideal for travelers seeking tranquility and fewer crowds.
