Zanzibar Travel

Have you been thinking of visiting Zanzibar? It’s becoming a popular destination for tourists and travellers alike, with its beautiful beaches, incredible food and friendly locals.

Where is Zanzibar?

There are still a lot of people who don’t really know much about this archipelago of Tanzania, including where it is! Located in East Africa, Zanzibar is a ferry or plane journey away from the mainland.

Why should I go there?

Read on to get the most out of your visit to Zanzibar. I’ll be sharing:

  • The best time to visit Zanzibar
  • What to do in Zanzibar
  • How to get there
  • Where to stay

And the information that most people won’t tell you but that you NEED to know!

I travelled to Zanzibar solo and, as an experiential traveller, I didn’t do any of the trips that most tourists do. Instead, I focused on truly immersing myself in the people, food and culture so that I could fully understand local life. It remains one of the best travel experiences of my life and you can read about it here.

Getting a local experience also meant I got insights into Zanzibar that most tourists don’t: I’m sharing them here so that whether you’re looking for a traditional holiday in Zanzibar, or whether you’d prefer a more authentic island experience, you can plan your trip with confidence.
