When to go to Pemba Island. When is the best time to visit Pemba Island? Most people who go on vacation to Tanzania want to either go on a trek or to the beach, or both. In general, the best months to go to the beach are from December to March and again from July to early November. The best months are July to September. It rains a little in November and April. Most likely, if you’re going to Pemba Island, you want to go to a beach that isn’t frequented by many people. In April and May, when it rains a lot, we don’t think going to the beach is much fun.

But it’s interesting that Pemba Island has its own temperature… In general, it’s about 30 degrees everywhere, but the rainy seasons aren’t as clear as they are on beaches closer to the shore, like Zanzibar. In April and May, it rains a lot, so you should stay away during those months. Zanzibar may have about 8 days of rain a month from July to September, but Pemba Island has about 12 days. This is the “dry” season.

This stays the same from July to December, though it rains a lot less in January and February. January and February seem to have the least amount of rain out of the months that don’t get wet—about half of the rain that falls during the “dry” season… It might be a good time to go now! You can catch barracuda, king mackerel, and big trevally all year long if you like fishing. Bluefin, yellowfin, and small bonito can be caught from June to November. The season for marine fish and billfish starts in November. From December to April, you can catch sailfish and marlin.
