Cached-fare history: across 6 months, Dec is the cheapest for CPH → ZNZ. Best time to be there: Jun–Oct.
Fares bottom out in December around $819 and peak in January near $1,044 — a $225 spread across the 6 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 10 hours outbound, on a 14-night trip — ticketed under Norwegian Air Sweden, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $819 for 7,299 km each way, that works out to about $56 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 24 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Zanzibar, this fare ranks 12th — 1.7× the $480 we hold from Milan. For context, the middle fare among the 26 routes of similar length we watch out of Copenhagen is $750.

CPH → ZNZ, answered.
Is $819 a good price for Copenhagen to Zanzibar?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $955 round-trip and this fare is 14% under it, about $136. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Copenhagen to Zanzibar?
Across 6 months of cached-fare history, Dec comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Zanzibar are Jun–Oct — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book CPH → Zanzibar?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 6 months of cached fares, Dec comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Copenhagen to Zanzibar?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Norwegian Air Sweden. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
