Visit Zanzibar and you will never want to leave
Zanzibar is a legendary archipelago in the Indian Ocean, 35 km off the coast of mainland Tanzania. It is just six degrees south of the Equator. Zanzibar is comprise of the islands of Unguja and Pemba, along with a number of smaller isles. However, it is arguably one of Africa’s most enticing destinations and exotic laid-back paradise. Zanzibar has miles and miles of white sandy beaches and translucent turquoise warm waters.
Generally the climate in Zanzibar is warm all year round. However, the heat of summer (corresponding to the Northern Hemisphere winter) is often cooled by strong sea breezes. This is mostly associated with the Northeast monsoon, particularly on the North and east coasts. Rains occur in November but are characterized by brief showers. Longer rains normally occur from March to May in association with the Southwest monsoon.
