That is a 25% gap, and the biggest lever on what you pay: the same kind of room simply costs more when demand peaks. May and November come close to the low point, a good fallback if April does not suit you. These figures come from 48 hotels in Zanzibar whose prices we check on Agoda on a rolling basis. Across the whole year the typical night averages €121. - **Cheapest month:** [April](https://stayversus.com/en/hotel-prices/april/) €108 - **Most expensive month:** [August](https://stayversus.com/en/hotel-prices/august/) €135 - **Typical night, year average:** €121 - **Saturday vs Tuesday:** 0% - **Hotels price-checked:** 48 ## Typical nightly price by month Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct - Cheapest month: April, about €108 a night on average - Most expensive month: August, about €135 a night on average The typical price is the median of the monthly averages of up to 48 hotels we price-check on Agoda (one night, 2 adults).
