Africa Getaways & International Travel

Zanzibar is located in the Indian Ocean, about 25 miles from
the Tanzanian coast, and 6° south of the equator. Zanzibar Island
(known locally as Unguja, but as Zanzibar internationally) Zanzibar is
characterised by beautiful sandy beaches with fringing coral reefs,
warm clear blue waters, idyllic islands, excellent reefs for
snorkelling and diving, fantastic deep sea fishing and water sports
activities.

Along
the coast the climate is tropical, with high humidity and temperatures
averaging 25-29°C (77-84°F). From December to March, temperatures can
exceed 30°C (86°F). Throughout most of the country there are two rainy
seasons, with the ‘long’ rains (masika ) drenching Zanzibar from mid-March to May, and the ‘short’ rains ( mvuli ) doing their best from November to January.
