Best Time to Visit

From my experience, June through October is when Magozanzibar Tours really shines. The weather’s just perfect – dry season means clear skies and temps that hover around 75-85°F. December through February ain’t bad either, but it can get pretty toasty. March through May? That’s the rainy season, and while tours still run, some activities might need tweaking due to weather.

But here’s a pro tip – if you’re cool with occasional showers, booking during shoulder season (November or early December) could save you some serious cash, and you’ll find fewer tourists around. The tours run year-round, but booking at least a few days ahead is smart, especially during peak season when everyone’s trying to get in on the action.

How to Get There

Getting to your tour starting point is actually pretty straightforward. If you’re staying in Stone Town, most tours kick off right from your hotel – super convenient! Coming from other parts of the island? No sweat. The company’s got a solid network of pickup points across Zanzibar.

Flying into Zanzibar International Airport? Just give them a heads up, and they’ll sort out your airport transfer. And y’know what’s really cool? They’ve got this WhatsApp system where you can coordinate pickup locations in real-time. Makes life so much easier, especially if you’re trying to navigate the winding streets of Stone Town for the first time.

Tips for Visiting

Alright, let me share some insider tips I’ve picked up. First off, wear comfy shoes – seriously, you’ll thank me later, especially during walking tours. And pack a hat and sunscreen because that equatorial sun means business!

Keep some cash handy – while they accept cards for booking, you might want small bills for tips or picking up souvenirs along the way. Their spice farm tours are absolutely fascinating, but bring bug spray if you’re heading into the plantations.

Oh, and don’t be shy about telling your guide what interests you. Maybe you’re a photography buff? They’ll know exactly where to take you for those killer shots. Food lover? They can tweak the route to include some amazing local eats.

Water bottle’s a must – they provide some, but having your own is always smart. And if you’re doing a full-day tour, pack some snacks. While lunch stops are usually included, having a little something extra never hurts.

Last but definitely not least – bring your sense of adventure! The guides love sharing local stories and cultural insights that you won’t find in any guidebook. And trust me, some flexibility with your schedule can lead to the most amazing unexpected discoveries. That’s the beauty of touring with locals who really know their stuff.

Remember to book your spot in advance – especially during high season. These folks are popular for a reason, and tours can fill up quick. But even if you’re planning last minute, give them a shout. They’re pretty good at working magic with scheduling when they can.
