Backpacking Zanzibar on a Budget: Everything You Need to Know

Nungwi Zanzibar late February 2012 - Nungwi Forum

Buy marijuana Mnemba

A lot of people think of Zanzibar as a honeymoon or romantic couples destination, but it is also a great place for budget backpackers and solo travellers too! I usually divide my time with a few days in Stone Town, followed by a few days at the beach resorts. There are 3 main islands called Unguja, Pemba and Mafia, plus a number of smaller islands. Unguja is the largest island, where you will find the capital Zanzibar City more commonly referred to as Stone Town — which is an area of Zanzibar City and is what most people mean when they refer to Zanzibar. Pemba is north of Unguja and Mafia is to the south, near Mozambique. So here are my essential travel tips to help you plan your own Zanzibar adventure, including when to go, what to do, where to stay, where to eat and where to meet other travellers! For the purpose of this guide, when I talk about Zanzibar, I am referring to the main island, Unguja. March to May sees the long rains. November and December have short rains. On the plus side, you can often get good deals on hotels in the low season. I have visited during the short rains in November and it was fine but again, pretty humid, but I would probably avoid March to May personally. But of course, it is a tropical island so it can rain any time of year. During Ramadan quite a few of the restaurants in Stone Town shut down during daylight hours and some close all together, but you will be able to find food. Most of the beach resorts will operate as normal, however you must observe Ramadan etiquette everywhere else. If you do go for Ramadan, consider staying on for Siku Kuu Eid al-Fitr , a 4-day celebration, an exciting time to be in Zanzibar, when everyone convenes at Forodhani Gardens, dressed in their finest and in holiday mode, spending time with friends and family. I went a couple of years ago and it was fantastic. Between June to September, the Kusi winds blow from the south and between December to February the Kaskazi winds blow from the north. You can go scuba diving in Zanzibar all year round, but the best times for visibility tend to be between June to October in the north and November to March in the south. March to May is generally the worst time for visibility due to the more rainy weather, but it can depend on the day. The Mnemba Atoll is probably the most famous dive spot in Zanzibar. Usually, the cheapest way to get to Zanzibar is by ferry and Azam Marine ferries are the company I recommend. The ferries run between Dar es Salaam and Stone Town and the journey takes approximately 2 — 2. Ferries depart at 7am, 9. Make sure you buy your ticket from the official ticket office, not from touts on the street. If you can buy your ticket in advance, I would advise you to do so as they often fill up. I have on a few occasions had to wait a few hours because the next ferry was full. You need to show your passport when buying your tickets. For all the info, take a look at the complete guide to taking the Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar ferry. You can also sail to Zanzibar from Bagamoyo. Book through Firefly hostel. You can fly into Zanzibar from most domestic airports, including Kilimanjaro, Arusha and Dar es Salaam and the airstrips in the national parks. I always use Skyscanner to book my flights. You can also get the ferry from Nyamasati, which is around 4 hours south of Dar es Salaam. Some nationalities can buy visas on arrival and some have to apply in advance, so check before you attempt to enter. But if you are transitting through a country with a risk of Yellow Fever Kenya, Ethiopia for more than 12 hours — sometimes less, they may ask for it. You can find a list of countries with a risk of Yellow Fever here. But they may well ask for it and I think sometimes it depends on who is on duty. Last time I flew into Zanzibar, I met some Zambians, who were living in Abu Dhabi not a risk zone who were made to get a shot on arrival in Dar es Salaam. Where as none of the Europeans were asked to, even without certificates. Plus, the vaccination lasts for life now. Just remember where your bag is and what cage so you can be ready to pick it up at the end. The ferry itself is fun. I recommend standing outside as it always helps me feel less seasick and you may also spot dolphins. I once saw a pod of about 30 on the way over. Arriving at the ferry port in Stone Town can be a little overwhelming. When you get off the ferry, head straight for the walkway and head towards the terminal. Get in the passport queue first, but keep an eye on the cages and try to spot your bag. Outside there will be loads of people about and loads of touts after your business. The guys at the bar can usually point you in the right direction or help you with a taxi should you need it. If you are staying in Stone Town, chances are that your hotel or guest house is just a short walk away anyway, but the alleyways can be a bit confusing at first. If you do need directions, shopkeepers are usually very helpful. Your taxi driver will usually park up and then walk you the last few yards. You can arrange this in advance or grab one a the airport. Or you can get a local minibus called dala dalas which are around — TSH. The buses leave from just outside the airport and will usually be running despite what the taxi drivers tell you. The buses will drop you near to Darajani Market. Geeting around Zanzibar on a budget is no problem. Darajani is in Stone Town and easy to get to from most hotels. If you like an adventure, this is the way to travel. Finding the right bus is another skill all together. Most people are very friendly and will be more than happy to help you. Check with the conductor before you get on. You pay your money to him once on the bus, not the driver. If you tell the conductor where you want to go, he can tell you where to get off. If you want a taxi, you can organise a taxi yourself via a taxi company, through your hotel or negotiate with a local taxi driver. But I think he was going that way anyway and I just got lucky. These can also be arranged via your hotel and will usually pick you up. You can either get taxis, share taxis or dala dalas. Your accommodation can point you in the right direction to pick up a dala dala. Just be aware that you will usually need to go back through Stone Town, unless your next destination is on the way to Stone Town. Or you can take a taxi, which is a lot more expensive but much quicker. You can of course also hire your own vehicle. I would just check that you are renting from a reputable company and that everything is in good condition. You will need an international driving licence and your rental company should be able to provide you with any paperwork that you need for the police checkpoints. Zanzibar has an abundance of amazing accommodation and there are lots of different places to stay around the island, but a lot of these tend to be geared towards couples or the luxury market. So here are my top places to stay as a solo traveller in Zanzibar also have a read of my blog post about the best places in Africa for solo travellers. Kendwa and Nungwi lie on the north-west coast of Zanzibar and are good places to meet people. This is where most of the overlanders and backpackers tend to congregate. Kendwa is pretty chilled most of the time, however, it does get lively at the weekends. Each Saturday they have a party which is always fun and they have a Full Moon Party every month, also usually on Saturdays which is pretty packed. They are a lot more low key than the Full Moon Parties you get in Thailand but more fun in my opinion. Paje on the south east coast is another great spot for a solo traveller as there are a lot of backpacker places, more so than in the north. To find a full list of backpacker hostels in Zanzibar and check prices and availability click here. A good alternative is to stay in a guesthouse or Airbnb nearby one of the hostels and just go there to hang out! There are also usually loads of friendly locals who would be more than happy to make a new friend! Zanzibar is known for having great food and great restaurants, but there are lots of amazing places on Zanzibar to eat and drink on a budget. Here are a few of my favourites:. Whilst Zanzaibar is very culturally rich and quite religious, it is also quite a party island. Zanzibar is known for being a beach destination, but Zanzibar has an incredible history and mix of cultures, so you could easily fill two weeks on the island! For an idea of the incredible adventures that await you, check out my top 40 things to do in Zanzibar post where I go into lots of detail about all the activities on offer. Zanzibar is a predominantly Muslim island, so women should keep shoulders, cleavage and legs covered at least to the knees when walking around Stone Town and in villages especially. In hotels and at the beaches outside of Stone Town, it is fine to dress how you like no topless sunbathing though. I usually carry a scarf or sarong with me to cover my shoulders or wrap around my waist as a long skirt. I have a few of the long dresses you see in the picture above. During Ramadan, it is polite to keep legs fully covered for both men and women and women should cover their shoulders and cleavage. So here are my top tips for staying safe on Zanzibar:. You can find up to date safety information for Zanzibar here. So this is slightly different from safety as these are more the general annoyances that you may face, but not necessarily dangerous. People will come up to you constantly in Stone Town, offering tours, taxis and trying to sell things etc. If you stand still long enough, someone will come up to you to offer their services. Well you could, but your tour will likely be crap. If you want a good guide with great knowledge, organise it through your hotel or through a recognised organisation, like Colors of Zanzibar or with my pal Farid who is the best tour guide in Stone Town. There are also a lot of beach boys in Zanzibar. But on a night out, you may get a lot of attention as the men are very forward and Zanzibari girls do not really go out partying. Guys will come up, take your hands and try to dance with you or stand just behind you, grinding. Moving slightly out of the way does the trick. Wearing a wedding ring also helps. They often seem to be alone, although I assume they have pals around somewhere, probably lurking around another group. Usually, I think these guys are just trying their luck. They see a group and hang around for a bit to see if anyone takes the bait. Or maybe they just want to make some friends. The official currency is Tanzanian Shillings TSH , but many hotels and tourist activities accept dollars and cards. But you can always ask for the price in local currency and compare exchange rates. For smaller payments in shops, markets etc local currency is best and most things are slightly cheaper in local currency. I recommend you download an app like Units Plus so you can keep track of the exchange rate. Tanzanian Shillings are only available in Tanzania and Zanzibar, so you will need to get them there. We ended up exchanging money in a supermarket for a not so great rate. If you use a credit card, many places will add on a surcharge. A piece of fruit from the market or some chilli covered mango slices buy these on the street — they are amazing will only cost you a few cents. But there are nice restaurants in Zanzibar and they are very worth the price. I think this is still very reasonable. To save money you could always take a LifeStraw water purifier. These things are great as they kill The cheapest alcohol is the local speciality Konyagi, which is like gin and you can buy a big bottle for the same price as a normal drink, but be warned this stuff is strong! Activity costs on Zanzibar vary, massively. There are loads of free things to do, but then there are lots of expensive things to do also, like scuba diving or a dolphin-spotting trip just make sure you choose an ethical one! Transport is a tricky one as it depends on a lot of factors and again, this really depends on how much you move around and how you travel. Zanzibar has lots and lots of great shopping opportunities. But if you are… God help you! From paintings to jewellery, to clothes, to fabrics to little trinkets, Zanzibar has it all. If you want to make friends with the locals, learn some Swahili. You can find a list of my favourite and most used English to Swahili words here. I hope you enjoyed this guide backpacking Zanzibar on a budget and I hope it helps you plan your trip!

I first wrote this post in and it has been updated for Ramadan During Ramadan quite a few of the restaurants in Stone Town shut down during daylight hours and some close all together, but you will be able to find food. Eid If you do go for Ramadan, consider staying on for Siku Kuu Eid al-Fitr , a 4-day celebration, an exciting time to be in Zanzibar, when everyone convenes at Forodhani Gardens, dressed in their finest and in holiday mode, spending time with friends and family. Scuba Diving You can go scuba diving in Zanzibar all year round, but the best times for visibility tend to be between June to October in the north and November to March in the south. By Air You can fly into Zanzibar from most domestic airports, including Kilimanjaro, Arusha and Dar es Salaam and the airstrips in the national parks. If you need to go outside of Stone Town, see info on how to get around the island below. Again this is walkable to pretty much any hotel in Stone Town. Travelling Between Destinations If travelling between the various beach resorts, the same principles apply. They have nice dorms, with big beds with privacy curtains, power sockets, lockers and individual lights. Check prices here. Z Life Hostel : Great choice for solo travellers. Ten to Ten : Great backpacker hostel. Nungwi is generally busier and has a better range of accommodations and more restaurants. There are cheaper options, but for meeting other people, Kendwa Rocks is probably the best as they have a sociable bar, right on the beach. They do have a dorm although It tends not to be advertised anywhere so to book you need to contact them direct! A lot of the overland groups stay next door at Sunset Bungalows. Where To Eat in Zanzibar on a Budget Zanzibar is known for having great food and great restaurants, but there are lots of amazing places on Zanzibar to eat and drink on a budget. Here are a few of my favourites: Stone Town Food Stalls: There are tons of food stalls all over town which generally cater to the locals, so you can pick up some really well-priced and fresh food for cheap. These include things like mango with chilli, baobab fruit, chapatis, cakes, samosas etc. This is a must-visit! In this post, I talk about some of my favourite places to eat in this post. Closed on Sundays. Great rooftop views. Closed on Mondays. Rooftop setting. Closed on Thursdays. Both of the Emerson restaurants book up in advance so I would advise making a reservation. Red Monkey Lodge Jambiani : Nice food and great setting. Check out my guide to dining at The Rock restaurant. Fabulous setting! Popular with the expat crowd tends to head on Sundays. Monday nights are also fun at Tatu Pub in Stone Town. They also open their club on Tuesdays! Wednesday is reggae night, whereas Sunday is a bit of a mix. Despacito is guaranteed. Keep an eye on your belongings, pickpockets target tourists here quite frequently. Paje by Night also hold regular parties! The Best Things To Do in Zanzibar Zanzibar is known for being a beach destination, but Zanzibar has an incredible history and mix of cultures, so you could easily fill two weeks on the island! Younger people tend not to mind so much many have smartphones and Facebook , but some people can take offence. Some will be fine with it, some will say no and some will ask for money. You risk getting into trouble if anyone sees you and you may well lose your camera. Zanzibar is unfortunately very behind the times in some ways and homosexuality is still illegal and punishable by prison, that goes for tourists too. During Ramadan, you should observe Ramadan etiquette. No drinking, eating or smoking in the streets or singing , no public displays of affection. See below on what to wear. What to Wear in Zanzibar Zanzibar is a predominantly Muslim island, so women should keep shoulders, cleavage and legs covered at least to the knees when walking around Stone Town and in villages especially. So here are my top tips for staying safe on Zanzibar: As you would in any place, keep an eye on your bag and keep it zipped up — as with most holiday destinations there are pickpockets about who target tourists, especially in Stone Town and at the beach bars. If you are out at night, ask someone from your hotel to come and escort you home or travel in a big group. Same goes for the beaches. Always take a licenced taxi. You can ask your accommodation to call you a taxi they know and trust. This goes without saying wherever you travel. Leave your expensive jewellery at home. If you are exchanging money or getting money from an ATM, try to count your cash in private and stash your money away in your bag as soon as possible. On a day to basis, just carry a small amount of cash. I have some in my day purse and any other money hidden somewhere in my bag or back at the hotel. Be respectful of the culture — this is very important. Avoiding Hassle on Zanzibar So this is slightly different from safety as these are more the general annoyances that you may face, but not necessarily dangerous. Beach Boys There are also a lot of beach boys in Zanzibar. Whatever you do, keep your cool and avoid getting into an argument, it never ends well. Dollars must be in good condition and ideally dated on or after Activities Activity costs on Zanzibar vary, massively. Transport Transport is a tricky one as it depends on a lot of factors and again, this really depends on how much you move around and how you travel. Souvenirs Zanzibar has lots and lots of great shopping opportunities. Please always read the small print. About Author Helen I'm a travel blogger and tour operator with a passion for Africa travel.

Zanzibar is the name given to the archipelago of islands that lies around 35 km off the coast of mainland Tanzania. The main islands are Unguja informally known as Zanzibar and referred to as such throughout this site and Pemba. Zanzibar is low-lying, its highest point being m. Unguja is fringed with white sandy beaches as well as coral cliffs. Being near to the equator the island is warm all year round but the north and north-east coasts do enjoy sea breezes. All internationals travelling to Tanzania require a visa. This should be applied for from the High Commission before arrival but can be obtained at most ports of entry. All tourists should hold a valid passport with at least six month left on it. Visas cost up to USD 70 depending on your nationality. The official currency is the Tanzanian Shilling or TSh. On the islands most tourist services will be priced in dollars, making this the currency to take. But take along limited local currency for various services and smaller items cross-town taxis, refreshments, small souvenirs etc. It is wise to make any currency exchanges on the mainland at Dar Es Salaam rather than on Zanzibar. Exchange rates will be poorer, commission higher, and the scarcity of banks may mean waiting to change money for up to half a day once you are actually on Zanzibar. The height of summer on Zanzibar is mid June and winter is in December. However, the islands are warm all year round due to their proximity to the equator. The short rains occur November — December. Expect frequent showers that do not last long. Some coastlines can get very sea-weed heavy at this time. The long rains fall between April and May. The rainy seasons are tourist low-seasons so for those looking for seclusion and not so bothered by the weather they can be appealing. The rains are not normally continuous, but do not be too optimistic about rain not putting if the pun can be excused a damper on things. Ramadan is one festival most tourists aim to avoid especially those travelling to Stone Town as many restaurants close during the day and eating in public before nightfall can be very awkward. However, the Eid-al-Ftir end of Ramadan is an excellent day to be in Stone Town as feasting and partying takes over the city, and all are welcomed. Ramadan dates start to Eid-al-Ftir are as follows:. Both these take place in Stone Town and the city gets hugely busy during both. Another music festival has also recently sprung up, this one in Kizimkazi on the south coast; The Kizimkazi Cultural Music Festival. We suggest that you contact your GP or a travel clinic for advice. The following jabs or boosters are usually recommended and some form of anti-malarial treatment is generally considered a must:. For those planning on travelling more extensively in Zanzibar a yellow fever shot is usually obtained ahead of travel. As the climate is hot and low-lying and can be damp, fungal infections are common. These are easily prevented by making sure that you wash regularly and dry properly after swimming or bathing. Avoid sharing soaps and damp towels etc. As Zanzibar is near to the equator the sun is in the zenith for much of the day. Any part of the body that is horizontally exposed to the sun is at risk of severe burning. This means swimming and sunbathing are particularly dangerous if you do not take adequate precautions. Apply a medium-high factor sun lotion regularly. If you are doing a lot of water-sports, opt for a water-resistant lotion. Please remember that the highest factor sun lotions have the shortest effective durations and need to be re-applied most regularly. Westerners travelling to equatorial destinations can be particularly susceptible to heat stroke. The condition can be fatal. If you think you might be suffering heatstroke it is vitally important to get out of the sun and to take re-hydration solution Dioralyte or any ORS are recommended to be carried in your personal first aid kit, but in the absence of having one with you, one can improvise a mixture as follows: four heaped teaspoons of sugar, half a teaspoon of salt - mixed into a litre of water ; then dampen clothing and lie down indoors. It is strongly recommended that visitors to Zanzibar avoid drinking tap-water. Do not be convinced of its harmlessness by the number of locals you see drinking it. Remember, their stomachs are conditioned to it and they probably enjoy a much less processed diet than westerners and therefore have higher concentrations of naturally-occurring intestinal bacteria. Diarrhoea is the most common effect of drinking contaminated water on Zanzibar and can be flushed out of the system with a typical re-hydration solution. Giardiasis which is very unpleasant to suffer and causes horrid wind is another typical upset caused by water. It usually clears up in a few days. Though cholera scares do sometimes occur on Zanzibar it is unlikely to affect you. It is also important to remember that though serious, it can be treated. When it comes to biting things Zanzibar is no stranger to mosquitos. While remembering that many synthetically manufactured insect repellents are claimed to contain carcinogens, many travellers will nonetheless compromise by applying something like DEET to just small areas of the body that are difficult to cover with clothing. A better option is arguably to use a natural alternative such as one containing high concentrations of Lemon Grass. Wrists and ankles seem to be particularly susceptible to being bitten. Additionally, you may consider taking with you some sort of alkaline or herbal remedy e. There are sharks off the coast of Zanzibar this is a major lure for many scuba divers. There have been no recorded shark attacks on humans since a spate of them in off the coast of Dar Es Saleem. Far more likely are sea urchin and jellyfish stings. Watch out for urchins on the beach, and when exploring wear beach shoes. A good cure for jellyfish stings is vinegar. Healthcare on Zanzibar is not good. Hospitals are hugely under-funded. Some larger resorts have on-site doctors. If anything is seriously the matter it is best to cut your trip short and seek medical attention at home. This makes good travel insurance a must for any tourist to Zanzibar, however, prior to curtailing your trip prematurely you are strongly advised to ask your hotel to draft a letter with you explaining what has happened to necessitate aborting the rest of your trip, and stating in the letter that it is their judgment that local medical provision is not adequate to treat the relevant malady. This documentation will likely help with any subsequent claims you make from your insurer. Zanzibar is a reasonably safe place to travel in. In any developing country this sort of grass-roots entrepreneurial behaviour is unavoidable. There are very few thefts on Zanzibar but keeping your hotel room locked and any valuables hidden in balled socks or at the bottom of cases is advisable. Avoiding flashy jewellery and portable electronics is also a good idea as it makes you far less conspicuous a target to pick-pockets and petty criminals. When travelling anywhere, we would always advise that you carry money in two separate locations on your person; the larger value notes being in a flat money belt worn under clothing, and smaller denominations being carried somewhere more obvious from where access will not compromise the location of your main funds if you are being watched when you transact. If approached by a criminal that one chooses not to fight, one can then submit all the low value funds and retain the contents of the hopefully still secret money belt. The Zanzibar police force and traffic police are notorious for being corrupt and will try and find any excuse to extort a bribe. Travellers are just as susceptible if not more so than locals though there are measures that one can take to minimise exposure to such predation. We strongly recommend that when approached by any authorities, you start filming yourself, but do not point the camera at the official for longer than the necessary split second that you require subsequently to identify him or her. On approach, the official will advise you that filming policemen is illegal and will ask you to turn the camera off. If the official is serious about the imminent solution of a crime, they will be far less nervous about your desire to film, particularly if you film only yourself and talk into the camera as though you are compiling a video diary of the event. It is important never to point the camera directly at the official but to very calmly and respectfully point out that you are only filming yourself. The official will certainly ask you why you are filming. A polite and credible response would be that the objective of your filming yourself while you interact with local law enforcement is twofold, namely:. To validate your subsequent insurance claim, since your insurer is generally entitled to request proof that the event has been reported to local law enforcement within 24 hours of discovery, and. To provide material to your tour operator in case they wish to compile a report to be sent to the Ministry of Tourism, or to the local Chief of Police, to assist in their ongoing role in crime prevention. Avoid haggling and offering bribes when it comes to genuine fines. Standard fines for offences such as speeding are only TSh 20, and you will be given a receipt. If the police are not willing to offer a receipt, you need to understand that they have no interest in upholding law and order. Rather than normalise this ugly practice by trying to achieve rapport with corrupt officials, in our view it is far preferable to stigmatise their actions by very carefully and politely patronising them and making them feel dishonourable and pathetic for making these approaches. Remember that recreational drugs are illegal on Zanzibar, though you may be offered marijuana. If you are a marijuana user it is definitely advisable not to partake unless you are certain about the person offering and all of the prospective witnesses. You may find yourself in a position of being blackmailed for a fair amount of cash if you do. Please also consider that the Foreign and Commonwealth Office is not able to offer you a get out of jail free card, where there is evidence that you have broken the law, and a prison stay could become extremely unpleasant if the guards are negligent and do not have sympathy for drug users. Zanzibar is a strictly Muslim place. With a little bit of respect, consideration and restraint this should not prove problematic for most travellers; there are of course some exceptions. The major cultural code that many Western visitors fail to adhere to is the dress code. While uncovered shoulders and arms are acceptable, and female travellers should not feel obliged to wear any form of head gear, long skirts and trousers are recommended knee length and below. Of course on the beaches and in resorts this is impractical and not expected. Topless sunbathing is not only frowned upon, but illegal on the archipelago. Public displays of affection should be kept to a minimum, holding hands is fine, but nothing much more unless you are somewhere more private or secluded. Unmarried heterosexual couples have been known to be made to feel uncomfortable in some hotels but this is not normally the case. Single women may suffer from unwanted advances from Zanzibari men. It is vital to remember that many of these Casanovas are carrying the HIV virus and that they are likely simultaneously managing a portfolio of several other western females. Homosexuality on Zanzibar is illegal. Therefore it is unsurprising that most hotels will not allow two men to share a double bed. Public displays of homosexuality will cause deep offence and could even result in difficulties with the police and a prison sentence. It is a harsh truth, but Zanzibar is no place for homosexual couples. Two things tourists should avoid are taking photographs of strangers without prior permission locals may ask for payment and Maasai almost certainly will and entering mosques without permission. Zanzibar is renowned for its white sandy beaches, its blue ocean, its rustic charm, its entrepreneurial and fascinating people, its wildlife and its eclectic cultural history. If you are a water sports enthusiast looking to do some diving or snorkelling, wind-surfing or try your hand at big game fishing then a trip to Zanzibar is an excellent option. Or if you are looking for somewhere to relax on a beach and forget the Western world for a bit, again Zanzibar is a great choice. If you are fiercely interested in people and want to experience a slice of a culture that is at once alien and undeniably familiar; if you are not afraid of the discomfort that catching a glimpse of a developing nation can mean, then the island certainly has a lot to offer. If you would like to see some wildlife both above ground, and under the sea and are prepared to take the rough with the smooth for the privilege then consider Zanzibar. If you like exceptional fresh seafood prepared for you in idyllic locations with ocean sunsets, you will enjoy Zanzibar. If you are looking for a plush holiday with all Western standards upheld, easily accessible history and hassle-free shopping and clean city streets, Zanzibar is unlikely to appeal. If you are looking for perfection of service then only the very top end resorts carrying top end price tags may prove satisfactory. If you want only beauty and escape from reality, Zanzibar is unlikely to completely oblige. Do read this site and others carefully before planning your trip. Zanzibar is undoubtedly a wonderful place, but it is not for everybody. Stone Town can be a paradise for culture vultures, amateur historians, those interested in architecture, foodies and avid bargain hunters. The city is home to many intricate colonial buildings and ruined palaces and a stoic fort. Though Stone Town is an exciting, and in many ways, beautiful city, it is by no means a perfect cultural haven. Zanzibar is very much a developing Island in a developing country. In Stone Town the entrepreneurial poor of this Eastern African archipelago congregate in the hope of reaping financial gains, especially from tourists. Stone Town is a hot, bubbling and noisy city, and being home to people of multiple origins with different cultural and temporal values, always close to boiling point. Somepapasi are more persistent than others and will trail tourists throughout the city. Just make sure the culprit knows you will not be able to pay for any services and they should leave you alone. Many of the cultural heritage sites of the city may seem poorly kept by Western standards. The city beach is hugely busy and the water here is not clean. Do not be convinced by the local boys who dive into the ocean. If you are looking for idyllic beaches and bathing you are advised to take a trip from Stone Town to one of the unspoilt village coastlines or to one of the islands, such as Chumbe. The north and north-west coast of Zanzibar is renowned for its numerous beach resorts. There are four major foci for travellers to the area; Nungwi, Kendwa, Mnemba Atoll and, in complete contrast, Tumbatu Island. As well as rest and relaxation on the beaches most resorts in the region offer a variety of water-sports, boat trips, diving, village tours and excursions to other parts of the island. However, the major attraction of a coastal holiday on Zanzibar is a chance to escape and take to the beach or pool. All the hotels listed on our north-east pages are located in and around the village of Matemwe and along the Matemwe beach. Close to Matemwe and easily accessible for a price from here is the Kiwengwa Pongwe Forest and the island of Mnemba Atoll. But expect also white sands and tropical seclusion. Much of the central east coast of Zanzibar is dominated by holiday resorts. This is largely on account of its relative locality to Stone Town, white sandy beaches and nearby popular tourist sites. It is wise to note that seaweed and sea urchins mar the beach especially February to December and that most of the beaches are not combed as they are in the Caribbean. The beaches are subject to wide tidal variation. At low-tide, swimming is generally impossible except in tidal lagoons or hotel pools. Most of the hotels listed on this site are located around the main beaches of either Pongwe or Kiwengwa. The south east coast has much going for it. It is less built up than the central east coast with the exception of a few extensive resorts in Dongwe with white sandy beaches lined with palm trees and a good sea-breeze which cuts mosquito numbers and make air-conditioning not quite such a life savour. The region is ideal for those in search of a relaxing beach holiday. Seaweed farming is especially noticeable in the south-east as the villages are still very attached to the beaches as their source of income. Do not expect every beach to be tailored to tourist expectations. Kizimkazi is the destination for most tourists wishing to stay on the southern tip of Unguja. It was once the capital when the island was under the power of the pre-Omani Wawinyi Wakuu and is considered to be the oldest habitation on the island. Kizimkazi is most visited by tourists for its dolphin tours. Unlike other mosques on the island, non-Muslims can visit this place of worship. Mosquitos troublesome all over Zanzibar can be particularly bad here. Sunset cruise around Overnight at the Hotel. Lunch at Mtoni Marine Restaurant and after lunch proceed to Spice farms looking for spices and tropical fruits. After lunch your guide will take you to explore the nature at Jozani forest. Dinner and Overnight. Kili Equipment List. Wildebeest Migration.
