Overview
Four days on Zanzibar is enough time to properly settle into island pace — white sand beaches, warm turquoise water, and the freedom to spend your days exactly how you want, whether that's snorkeling, exploring Stone Town, or simply not moving from a beach chair.
Timing matters on Zanzibar more than many travelers expect. December through March is hot and humid; April through mid-June brings the long rains and is best avoided for a beach-focused trip; July and August are dry and pleasantly breezy; and October into November offers another good window before the short rains arrive. See our full guide to Zanzibar's seasons for the complete picture.
This is a genuinely flexible itinerary — a strong standalone beach holiday, or an easy extension tacked onto the end of a mainland safari, since a short flight is all that separates Zanzibar from Arusha or the Serengeti.
