Which season is the best?
The best season for your trip with Guruguru Safaris to Zanzibar is during the drier months of June to October and from December to February. During this time, the weather conditions on the island are particularly pleasant, with warm temperatures, little rainfall, and plenty of sunshine. These months are perfect for relaxing on the beach, engaging in water sports activities, and exploring the local culture. The sea is calm and excellent for snorkeling and diving during these periods. However, we recommend planning your trip in advance and booking early, as Zanzibar is very popular during these times, and accommodations can fill up quickly. Our experienced travel experts are available to assist you in choosing the best timing for your needs.
When and where can you see the most marine creatures?
The waters off Zanzibar offer you a fascinating variety of marine creatures. During the best travel times, between June and October and from December to February, you have the opportunity to see an impressive array of marine life. Commonly sighted animals include colorful coral fish of all shapes and sizes, majestic turtles, playful dolphins, graceful manta rays, and impressive whale sharks.
If you wish to see specific animals or marine creatures, our experts at Guruguru Safaris are at your service. We can plan customized snorkeling and diving trips to ensure you experience the wildlife that fascinates you the most. Our experienced guides know the best spots and have the knowledge to make your Zanzibar journey an unforgettable experience. Don’t hesitate to ask us about your specific interests – we are here to provide you with a tailored and enriching experience.
Do I need a fishing license?
In Zanzibar, you generally don’t need a specific fishing license to go fishing. Many hotels and resorts offer fishing trips for tourists, and these often include equipment and permits. Local guides and captains are well acquainted with the waters and can help you find the best fishing spots.
If you’re planning an organized fishing tour in Zanzibar, our experts at Guruguru Safaris can assist you in finding the best options and ensuring that all necessary permits and guidelines are followed. We’re here to make your fishing activities in Zanzibar as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible.
