Zanzibar weather reviews

Marina, March 2023
At the beginning of March, we flew to Zanzibar to relax. It was hot, the temperature was 33°C, the water was very warm 29°C, you entered right away without fear, swimming was very comfortable. Turquoise ocean, white sand, the views are simply indescribable. You can't walk around the streets for a long time, it's too hot. There were several cloudy days with rain, and then the temperature dropped to 28°C. A beautiful island, warm ocean, unusual local color, I was pleasantly impressed.
