Climate:
Situated in the tropics, the climate is as such hot and humid. The seawater is just as warm with an average temperature of 20ºC and is very calm. Below is a summary of the seasons and best times to visit: July October: During this period, there is little rain, the average temperature is 25ºC and the humidity is low. Light breezes at night provide some relief from the hot days. Not as many tourists as in January, so for somebody who likes a bit of privacy, it is ideal. November March: Are good months although the short rains come at this time and it is very hot and humid. Added to this is the Muslim festival of Ramadhan in December/January, which see Muslims fasting during the daytime for an entire month. This festival moves back a couple of days every year, so be sure to check here again if you plan on going to Zanzibar a couple of years down the line. Some local restaurants, bars and discos are closed during this period. All resort and accommodation entertainment is still open though. If you are planning to go to a resort, this is a fantastic time. April June: This is the quiet season. The long monsoon rains pour down. It does not rain the whole day every day, but you will have to remain indoors for some time when they come down. If you are on a budget trip, then this is the best time in terms of price unfortunately. Many resorts are closed though during this period, so you will have a smaller selection of places to stay.

Food & Drink
A short walk from your bungalow takes you to the atmospheric Restaurant and Bar sitting beneath a magnificent sweeping Makuti roof. A number of different levels give ample opportunity to dine alone or as a group, inside or out. The priority is to provide high-quality dishes reflecting the local area and its produce - the emphasis, of course, is on locally caught seafood whilst more carnivorous or vegetarian tastes are catered for with the same degree of care.
The Restaurant Bar has a small, quiet lounge area ideal for an aperitif or after dinner coffee and liqueurs. Another short stroll through reception to the jetty takes you to the larger Jetty Bar which forms a stunning setting for occasional traditional Swahili barbecues and gives party people a chance to stay up and have a good time until the early hours.
