Frequently Asked Questions
Stone Town is best explored slowly: wander its narrow streets, take in the waterfront and discover the island’s history, architecture and everyday life.
Nungwi is known for its clear water, dramatic sunsets, and a beach that is easier to enjoy throughout the day because its tides are less pronounced than on much of Zanzibar’s coast.
Try Zanzibar’s spice-led coastal cooking, including fresh fish curry with ugali, fragrant pilau rice and a Zanzibar pizza. Local markets and small restaurants are good places to start.
Beachwear is fine on the beach, but dress modestly when you are in towns and villages. Covering your shoulders and knees is a respectful, practical choice when visiting local communities.
Zanzibar’s main airport, ZNZ, is close to Stone Town. Arrange a transfer with your accommodation or a trusted local driver before you arrive, especially if you are heading to the coast.
