During high tide the water is super flat and shallow which makes it perfect for all levels of kitesurfers. &nbsp;There are two main wind seasons in Zanzibar, during mid-December to February is the season called Kaskazi when the wind blows at about 15 knots from the North. The second season is called Kuzi when the wind blows from the South to South-East between May and October. Zanzibar is a great location for those adventurers looking for a hidden escape along with great kite surfing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/contact-us\">Contact us<\/a> today for expert advice on your next kitesurf holiday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Looking for a new kitesurfing adventure to an island paradise or just a unique holiday destination off the&hellip;","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":4993,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[57,58,316,66,71,78],"tags":[314,247,304,313,174,198,284,26,315],"class_list":{"0":"post-4969","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brazil","8":"category-cape-verde","9":"category-hidden-escapes","10":"category-italy","11":"category-peru","12":"category-tanzania","13":"tag-adventure-travel","14":"tag-brazil","15":"tag-cape-verde","16":"tag-hidden-escape","17":"tag-kitesurf","18":"tag-mauritius","19":"tag-morocco","20":"tag-peru","21":"tag-zanzibar","22":"cs-entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4969","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4969"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4969\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4996,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4969\/revisions\/4996"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4969"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4969"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.planetkitesurfholidays.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4969"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
