It’s perfectly natural to have questions when setting off on an adventure in Kenya and Zanzibar. How does a twin centre holiday work? When is the best time to travel? And what can I experience along the way?
Here, we’ve gathered answers to some of the questions we’re most often asked by our guests.
Although Zanzibar is part of Tanzania, the island lies only around 250 km from mainland Kenya.
The flight takes just under two hours.
If you’re choosing between Mombasa or Zanzibar, the short answer is that Zanzibar is the perfect choice if you dream of adding a touch of tropical island atmosphere to your safari.
The best time to travel to Kenya and Zanzibar is during the dry seasons, from January to mid-March and from June to October. During these months, the weather is usually dry with sunny days, warm temperatures, and little rainfall – perfect for both safari adventures and relaxing on the beach.
However, there are also advantages to travelling outside the peak season. For example, there are usually fewer visitors, meaning a more personal safari experience and lower prices. In addition, rainfall during the wet season often comes in short, intense showers, followed by clear skies.
Most travellers will need vaccinations before travelling to Kenya and Zanzibar. We recommend consulting a specialist doctor or vaccination clinic for advice tailored to your situation.
Please be aware of the yellow fever regulations, especially if you are travelling via a country where the disease is present.
