Travel essentials — Zanzibar
| Topic | Info |
|---|---|
| Journey time | From Europe: no nonstop flights from most cities. Typically 9–11 hours via Nairobi, Addis Ababa, Dubai, or Doha (1 stop). From London: ~9.5h via Nairobi. From Amsterdam: ~9h via Nairobi (KLM has good connections). Direct charter flights from some European cities during peak season — check at booking time. |
| Best season | July–September and January–February: dry, clear, 28–32°C — peak beach season. June–August: also excellent, slight breeze. March–May: long rains, many resorts close, cheap prices if beaches are not the priority. October–November: short rains but still viable. Water temperature is warm year-round (26–29°C). |
| Daily budget | Budget: USD 40–70/day (guesthouse, local food). Mid-range: USD 100–200/day (beach hotel, restaurant). Luxury: USD 300–800+/day (private villa, all-inclusive). Stone Town accommodation is much cheaper than the beach resort areas. Approximate, April 2026. |
| Currency | Tanzanian Shilling (TSh) and USD both accepted. Most tourist businesses quote in USD. Carry a mix of both. Cards accepted at hotels; cash preferred at restaurants and for beach vendor purchases. |
| Timezone | EAT (UTC+3). No daylight saving. 3 hours ahead of London (winter), 2 hours in summer. |
| Visa (EU) | EU citizens require a visa for Tanzania including Zanzibar. Apply online via e-visa at immigration.go.tz. Fee: USD 50 single entry. Apply at immigration.go.tz. → Check official requirements |
| Safety | Generally safe in tourist areas. Stone Town petty crime (bag snatching, phone theft) is the main concern. Zanzibar is more relaxed than mainland Tanzania. Avoid walking alone on deserted beaches at night. The ocean has strong currents at some beaches — swim only where locals do and where flags are displayed. Emergency: 112. |
Getting around Zanzibar
Dala-dala minibuses and taxis are the main options. Hire a car or scooter for flexibility. The island is small enough to cross in 90 minutes. Dhow boat trips to Prison Island (giant tortoises) are a half-day highlight.
Highlights
Stone Town’s labyrinthine alleys and carved doors, the Palace Museum, Freddie Mercury’s birthplace, Nungwi beach at the northern tip, Paje for kitesurfing, snorkelling at Mnemba Atoll (excellent visibility), Prison Island tortoises, and the spice tour through the island’s interior.
