Wondering when to take your trip to the barefoot paradise that is Zanzibar?
Why not in Summer when you can see the Mwaka Kogwa Festival. Mwaka Kogwa is the Zanzibar new year!
This four-day event in July/August is a must for visitors to Zanzibar, when village men thrash each other with banana stalks to settle arguments from the previous year. Women dress up, sing and dance, a straw hut is set on fire and then a feast!
