Hotels in Unguja South Region, Tanzania
Unguja South Region sits on Zanzibar's southeastern coast, with tropical weather that stays warm year-round-think 80°F (27°C) whether it's dry or rainy. This area is famous for its laid-back beach villages like Paje and Jambiani, where you can kite surf across the Indian Ocean during the dry season from June to October, or join a dhow fishing trip when the rains ease up in November. If you're after a local scene, head to Makunduchi in late February for the Mwaka Kogwa festival, a four-day celebration with traditional music and banana-stick fights-just book ahead during the dry winter to avoid the crowds.
