Zanzibar in December

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

December in Zanzibar is quite similar to November, and although activities like diving and windsurfing might not be on the agenda, there’s still plenty to discover! You can explore various parts of the island, meet the amazing Aldabra Giant Tortoise, and spot some of the 400 incredible bird species that call this region home.

When visiting local areas, it’s a good idea to remember that the community tends to be more conservative. Wearing clothing that covers your shoulders and knees will help you feel comfortable and show respect for the local culture.

Within the proximity of your hotel or accommodation, you’re free to wear your beachwear and any clothing you might want to wear on your vacation. Other than that, have fun to your heart’s content.

The best part about visiting? It’s such a fantastic spot for a fun family holiday in Zanzibar!

Weather in December

December consists of brief showers, which often take place in the afternoons. Other than that, the weather is generally hot, and rain is often a cooling factor.
