He everyone, I have a question.
I will most likely be going to Zanzibar and Tanzania soon to go diving and snorkeling and to do a safari in Tanzania. I recently also found out that Zanzibar is an awesome spot for kiting. The only thing is I heard that the best season for the safari in Tanzania is around October-Novemberish. But the best season for kiting in Zanzibar is June-Sept and Jan-Feb.

Does anyone know anything about the weather/wind in Zanzibar in October-November?

I would like to change my date for the Safari but we are also doing a long backpacking trip after this trip through South America and we want to be there for Dec-Jan-Feb

Anyone been to Zanzibar? If so any tips? Where to stay, where to kite, when to kite, where and when to dive?

I lived there 4 a year, I wouldn't expect much at that time of year and its most likely not gonna blow anything worth the while.
Massive tides there though and when it's on its great.Just very hard to predict the weather there.
But on another note it has some of the best diving there in the world with amazing sea life and epic dives.If I was too go again the high would be the diving over the kite any day.
Sorry can't answer all your questions as don't have time, but here's to say you'll enjoy it.Best place for back packer mentality i.e party atmosphere is Nungwi Beach area out from stone town at the other end of the island.
Enjoy.
