Best areas

Stone Town: Historical center with markets and architecture, good for sightseeing. Nungwi: Popular beach area in the north, known for nightlife and water sports. Paje: On the east coast, ideal for kite surfing and a more laid-back beach vibe.

Booking tips

Hotel prices are generally lower during the rainy seasons (March-May and November). Book in advance, especially if travelling during peak season (June-September and December-February). Look for hotels that include breakfast, as this is common.

Food to try

Try Zanzibar pizza, a savory crepe filled with meat, vegetables, or Nutella. Sample fresh seafood grilled on the beach in Nungwi or Jambiani. Mandazi, a fried bread similar to a doughnut, is a common breakfast item.

Getting around

Dala-dalas (local buses) are the cheapest option, but can be crowded. Taxis are readily available, but agree on a price beforehand. Consider renting a car or scooter if you're comfortable driving on local roads.
