The Epitome of Picture-perfect Zanzibar

The heat of summer (corresponding to the northern hemisphere winter) is often cooled by strong sea breezes associated with the northeast monsoon (known as Kaskazi in Kiswahili), particularly on the north and east coasts.

Being near to the equator, the islands are warm year-round.

Rains occur in November but are characterised by brief showers. More prolonged rains usually occur in April and May in association with the southwest monsoon (known locally as Kusi in Kiswahili).
