THE BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO PEMBA ISLAND!

A jewel of the Pacific Ocean, Pemba Island is a hidden gem very few know about. And those that do, always question when the best time is to travel to this idyllic island with crystal clear waters and powder soft sands.

You see, the best thing about Pemba Island is that it’s full of wonders year-round! But the best time to travel to Pemba Island is during the dry season, which runs from December to March and June to October. Pemba is located south of the equator and its temperatures range from lows of 20°C to 25°C and highs of 28°C and 33°C. During this time, a soft wind blows from the northeast, giving the beaches of Pemba protection against occasional gusts of wind. The breeze plays an important role to maintain constant humidity without any extreme climax changes. When the weather spoils you like this, visitors can go swimming, diving, snorkeling, kayaking, and many other marine activities!

Pemba experiences two wet seasons, just like Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania. The long rains start from March to May and the short rains begin in October through December. When the storm is at its peak, some water and marine activities may be limited. If water activities are a must on your bucket list, we’d recommend going during the dry seasons to avoid disappointments! When the days are wet, mornings are the best times to go snorkeling and diving. The skies usually clear up and the sun shines through for a few hours, with a slight overcast building up.

Pemba Island gets an increase in visitors on the island during the cool-dry seasonal months from July to October, as well as the humid-dry seasonal months of January and February as this is also peak time for wildlife safaris in Tanzania, and many families like to plan their trips around their children’s school break by exploring wildlife safaris and unique islands.
