Cheap Flights to Zanzibar from CA$1,465.99*

Zanzibar (ZNZ) has warm tropical weather all year, with the most comfortable beach and outdoor conditions during the main dry season from June to October, when skies are clearer, humidity is lower, and rain is limited. A shorter dry period from late December to February is also good for swimming, snorkeling, and diving, with hotter temperatures and calm seas. The long rainy season from March to May brings frequent heavy showers that can disrupt beach time and boat trips. A shorter rainy spell around November brings more brief showers and greener scenery, but conditions are less predictable. Travelers combining safari on the mainland with a beach stay get dry conditions in both Tanzania and Zanzibar by planning within the June–October window.

Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) is located about 5 km south of Zanzibar City and its historic Stone Town district.

Metered or fixed-fare taxis and private transfer cars are the main options from the terminal, and many hotels can arrange pick-ups. Local shared minibuses (dala-dalas) run between Stone Town and the main road near the airport, but they are not designed for larger Baggage.
