Exploring Zanzibar and Climbing Kilimanjaro in September

Tanzania and Zanzibar present a unique adventure worth experiencing. Located 35 kilometers from the Tanzanian mainland, the Zanzibar archipelago comprises fifty tropical islands where visitors can indulge in a genuine mainland safari and a soothing beach getaway. Tanzania Safari Soles Tours recommend September as an ideal time to visit the Tanzanian coast due to its perfect temperatures, alongside low humidity and rainfall.

Zanzibar and Pemba, the two largest islands in the archipelago, offer stunning beachfront accommodations where you can drift to sleep to the sound of waves lapping the shore. During the day, the delightful weather invites you to unwind on the beach, embark on a spice tour, dive into snorkeling and scuba diving in the coral gardens of several marine parks, or wander through the ancient, culturally-rich streets of Stone Town, reflecting Arabic and Portuguese architectural influences.

Opting for a beach retreat in September ensures you will relish outstanding hospitality, delectable cuisine, and unforgettable memories that will linger with you forever.

Is September a favorable time to ascend Mount Kilimanjaro?

With consistently dry weather, September ranks as one of the prime months to hike Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru, and the Shira Plateau—a one-day journey to Kilimanjaro’s oldest and shortest peak, Shira Peak.

Mount Kilimanjaro is a sought-after trek, renowned for allowing climbers to reach the peak of Africa’s tallest mountain without previous mountaineering experience. All that is required is solid physical fitness and determination to conquer the summit. Moreover, as the world’s tallest freestanding mountain, it provides a breathtaking trek with sweeping, uninterrupted vistas of Kenya and Tanzania.

When booking with Tanzania Safari Soles Tours, you can select from four routes that span six to eight days, available as either a private or group hike. Trusting us ensures you’ll become part of one of our mountain teams, who will guide you safely to the summit and back. With years of expertise on the mountain, you’ll be in secure hands.
