Zanzibar's long rains usually fall between April and early June. Showers tend to come in short, heavy bursts, often followed by sunshine, and the sea stays warm all year.

What to know
Some smaller hotels close for maintenance, and boat trips can be cancelled on rough days. We plan flexible itineraries and suggest beaches on the calmer side of the island.
