Travel & Logistics

Do I need a visa for Zanzibar?

Most nationalities can obtain a Tanzania eVisa online before travel ($50 single entry). Some nationalities can get a visa on arrival. We'll advise based on your passport during booking.

Is Zanzibar safe for tourists?

Yes, Zanzibar is very safe for tourists. As with any destination, use common sense — avoid walking alone late at night in unfamiliar areas, respect local dress codes in Stone Town, and keep valuables secure.

What is the best time to visit Zanzibar?

June to October is the dry season with the best weather. December to February is warm and sunny. March to May is the rainy season (lower prices). See our Travel Guide for month-by-month details.

Activities & Experiences

Can non-swimmers enjoy water activities?

Absolutely! Many activities like dhow cruises, sandbank trips, and dolphin watching don't require swimming. For snorkeling, life jackets are always available.

Are your tours suitable for children?

Many tours are family-friendly — spice tours, Stone Town walks, sandbank trips, and snorkeling are all suitable for children. We'll recommend the best activities for your family's ages.
