Zanzibar Faqs

Before Zanzibar Beach Holidays, research the local culture, respect Islamic traditions, and check visa requirements. Moreover, be in the know about the weather for appropriate clothing and explore the island's attractions and activities.

Disrespecting local customs is not allowed when Visiting Zanzibar. Be aware of and adhere to local regulations.

Zanzibar Archipelago is renowned for its pristine beaches, rich history, spice plantations, and vibrant culture. Stone Town's UNESCO World Heritage Site status adds to its charm, making it a unique and captivating destination.

The long rains from March to May can bring heavy downpours, affecting travel plans. It's advisable to avoid this period if you want to enjoy Zanzibar Outdoor Activities and beach excursions.

Yes, it's acceptable to wear shorts in Zanzibar, especially in beach areas. However, when visiting religious sites or local communities, consider wearing more modest clothing out of respect for local customs.

While there's no strict dress code, it's respectful to cover shoulders and knees when exploring Stone Town or visiting Zanzibar Religious Sites. Casual, light clothing is suitable for the warm climate.

Negotiate prices before purchasing goods, and avoid remote areas after dark. Respect local customs, especially during Ramadan, and be mindful of the strong currents at some beaches.

Avoid consuming tap water and unpeeled fruits and vegetables that may be washed in contaminated water. Choose reputable restaurants, and be cautious with street food to prevent foodborne illnesses.

Zanzibar is generally safe for females, but it's essential to exercise usual safety precautions. Avoid poorly lit areas at night, travel in groups when possible, and be aware of your surroundings.

Zanzibar Tourism is generally considered safe. Most visits are trouble-free, but it's advisable to stay informed about local conditions, follow travel advisories, and take general safety precautions.

The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is widely used in Zanzibar. It's recommended to carry some local currency for smaller purchases, but major Zanzibar Hotels often accept US dollars or euros.

While 2 days allow you to explore some highlights, a longer stay is recommended to fully experience the appeal of Zanzibar Vacations. Consider at least 5-7 days to enjoy beaches, historical sites, and cultural experiences.

"The eye never forgets what
the heart has seen.”

We (2 adults plus 2 kids aged 9+11) undertook a 10 day trip to Arusha, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. We wanted an individual tour which included not only game driving but some insights into socio-cultural life in Tanzania (the kids attended a local school for two days and we wanted to spend some time with the Datoga tribe and bushmen at Lake Eyasi)
