About
Zanzibar
Getting Zanzibar
Zanzibar is an island partner within the
United Republic of Tanzania, located in the Indian Ocean about 35 km off
the coast of Mainland
Tanzania at six degrees south of the Equator. Zanzibar is
made up of many islands, the main two being Unguja (sometimes called
Zanzibar) and Pemba. The land is
divided into three main areas, the plantation area, the coral rag area
and the indigenous forests. The highest point is 390 feet above sea
level. The population Zanzibar Including Pemba Island is estimated to
nearly 1 Million.
Zanzibar experiences
ideal holiday weather for most of the year, with the
exception of April and May, which are seasonally subject to the
long rains. Short rains can occur in November but are characterized by
short showers, which do not last long. The heat of summer is
seasonally often calmed by windy conditions, resulting in pleasant sea
breezes, particularly on the North and East coast. Being near the
equator, the islands are warm all year round but officially summer and
winter peak in December and June respectively. Zanzibar is blessed with
an average of 7-8 hours of sunshine daily.
