Zanzibar in November

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

The wet season officially arrives in November, and some activities such as diving, swimming, and windsurfing aren’t available. However, there are other activities, such as sightseeing and even spa treatments.

Rain is highly likely, but temperatures are generally still hot, with an average of 31 degrees Celsius.

If you’re planning a visit to Zanzibar, you’re in for a treat! Not only can you spot some amazing wildlife, but you’ll also find the Aldabra Giant Tortoise, which usually calls Seychelles home.

You can see the incredible Aldabra Giant Tortoise all year round, but the best times to see them in action are typically in the morning or afternoon when they’re most lively.

Weather in November

The short rains begin in November, and temperatures are often hot and humid. Showers of rain are generally short-lived and give you enough time to go from one stop to another.
