Zanzibar in June
Average Temperature: 30°C
Traveling to Zanzibar in June is a pretty interesting experience. This month falls right in the middle of the dry season, so you can expect mostly sunny days with minimal rain, which is fantastic if you're looking to explore the island without interruptions. The beaches are lovely and less crowded compared to the busier months, making it a great time for relaxing by the turquoise waters or snorkeling around the coral reefs. The vibe is chill, and you’ll find that many of the local markets and towns are lively but not overwhelming, giving you a good mix of culture and calm.
That said, June is also the start of the cooler season on the island, so while it’s still warm enough to enjoy the beach, the evenings can feel a bit breezy or cooler than you might expect. It’s a good idea to bring a light jacket or sweater for nighttime. Additionally, because it’s a popular time for some tourists avoiding the peak heat, you might notice prices and accommodation options are a bit more reasonable, which is a nice bonus. Overall, June in Zanzibar offers a balanced experience: great beach days, manageable crowds, and a welcoming local atmosphere.
