January 2027

A public holiday marking the 1964 revolution. Expect official celebrations and some closures.

A football tournament held in early January around Revolution Day. Check this year’s dates and venues locally.

Highs around 33°C, warm water and mostly dry days between the short and long rains, with the odd tropical shower.

January is busy with European and Gulf families; book beach hotels and boat trips early for the school break.

Plan Stone Town walks for the early morning and late afternoon, and rest in the middle of the day.
