Seasons
Our seasonal advice
Mafia Island's dry season runs from June to October, with cooler temperatures in June and July that begin to rise again from August onward. From July to mid-August, the Kuzi, a south/south-easterly wind, sets in.
From October through to March, some rain can be expected along with higher humidity and temperatures. In April and May, most lodges close for the rainy season.
That said, the best time depends on your interests:
- To dive with whale sharks, October to March is the period to favour. October is also an excellent month for the reefs, as the sea is often very calm.
- To see whales, August and September are the best months.
- To observe sea turtle hatchlings, June and July are more favourable.
