How I felt safe and great to walk the street late at night.
How I felt safe and great to walk the street late at night. Beach House restaurant was a lovely dance place on a Friday evening. Walking to the spice market. Walking down the the street where you can bargain for amazing deal's. Enjoy taking pictures of historical sites. Eating local food at Café Africano Hurumzi.Cupido - 8.0Scored 8.0

I sailed as a sea captain all around the island, including Pemba island. I spent here almost 2 months altogether. From tourist places, I liked Nungwi beaches. You have to know, most of tourist resorts are situated outside of local civilization. If you want to go shopping or to the local restaurant, you need to order a taxi everytime and the prices are high. The food and alcohol is quite expensive even for europeans. The locals are kind, although sometimes annoying if they are selling something. I felt absolutely safe, more than in EU. Traffic in the inlands is terrible, try to avoid travelling on these roads. Negotiate the price (taxi etc) before drive. They are able to ask 50 USD for 3 kilometres of ride after. If I could decide, I would try another exotic islands. Zanzibar needs 5-10 years to improve the services for tourist, infrastructure etc.RomanSlovakia - 10Scored 10

Navigating Zanzibar City was surprisingly easy, with an array of transportation options available. The compact size of the city made it convenient to explore on foot, with many attractions within walking distance of each other. I would definitely suggest trying the local Swahili food for fresh fish and seafood. For a visitor from South Africa, I found the price of food and drinks at restaurants relatively expensive.

Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty
Paradise Found: Zanzibar's Enchanting Beauty Zanzibar is simply one of the best places on Earth. Its beaches are nothing short of breathtaking, with pristine sands so fine they feel like silk beneath your toes. The tranquil waters, gentle and calm, create a mesmerizing backdrop that captivates the soul. My love for this place knows no bounds; it's a sanctuary of unparalleled beauty and serenity.Rahel AsefaEthiopia - 8.0Scored 8.0

Different styles from different times (african, muslim, maybe also european). Interesting experience is the market place and the night market for dinner under the stars. Also the hammam is worth to visit (with good gide)!AAnonymousFinland - 8.0Scored 8.0

It was lovely and we got to see the history of the slave trade (albeit sadly as it was a horrendous practice). The beaches are also very beautiful (Jambiani Beach was where we mostly went.) The spice farm tour and markets were lovely as we got all kinds of fresh spices. However, it is very tourist-centric. Payment is in dollars everywhere and people are always trying to sell you something. Feels very commercialised.Joy

- From $117 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 2,132 reviewsI stayed at this hotel with my husband. We booked the presidential suite with a sea view. Waking up in the morning and going out to her balcony to watch the sea, people on the beach and the ships was worth every single penny. Imagine just lounging on the balcony in the evening with the quiet bustle and ocean sounds. We loved it so much that we have decided to return to it on our last couple of days of vacation. The staff is super helpful and welcoming. They have amazing accommodations such as a pool where you can relax
SucaadDenmark - From $417.60 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 261 reviewsThe stunning property and the impeccable service culture are in a class of their own. I booked three rooms for three friends and everyone agreed that staying in the Serena Zanzibar is worth every penny. The attentive nature of all the staff makes it very relaxing and luxurious. The grounds are beautiful with the most stunning views of the sea. You can easily reach anywhere in Town from the Serena and go for walks on the beach as the hotel is directly on the sea.
JohannaSouth Africa - From $90 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 792 reviewsForodhani is my second home in Stone Town. Competitive rates, big spacious rooms, and a nice basic breakfast to get you going. The hotel is in the best location. Across the road from Forodhani Park which is the central attraction in Stone Town for its famous night food markets. Also close to the beach. The hotel is a walking distance from the Ferry terminal. A great swimming pool on the rooftop. The staff is always great, welcoming, and considerate.
AussieSouth Africa - From $635 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 361 reviewsThe location is amazing, right on the beach, so great for people-watching. The hotel is big, but not too big so it feels very cozy! The staff were incredibly nice, everyone from the concierge to the room service, to the guards, to the waiters - everyone! The pool is lovely, but my absolute favorite was the 200-year-old mango tree. If you don't stay here, at least come for drinks and a look at this beautiful tree!FríðaIceland
