Mostly Frequently Asked Questions

Is Zanzibar Safe for Travel?

Yes, it is safe to travel to the Zanzibar Islands. This is one of the safest African destinations, even for solo female travellers.

The Zanzibar Archipelago is part of Tanzania, which is one of the most stable African countries. Tanzania is ranked as the most peaceful country in East Africa, in fact.

The local people are generally welcoming and laid-back. Thanks to the picture-perfect beaches, sunny weather, and rich culture Zanzibar is a popular tourist destination. Thus, it features all the necessary tourism infrastructure for a comfortable and safe holiday. Many international travellers enjoy their time on the islands so much that they return time and again.

Is it safe to swim in the sea in Zanzibar?

Conditions do vary from beach to beach and season to season, but overall many of Zanzibar’s beaches are ideal for swimming. Depending on the tides, there can sometimes be seaweed in the water, particularly along the East Coast. You may also encounter sea urchins in the rocky shallows (especially at low tide). Watch where you walk and wear booties (diving boots) to protect your feet against the coral.

Are there sharks in Zanzibar?

There are reef sharks in Zanzibar which are harmless. Then at Mafia Island, you can swim with whale sharks. These sharks are endangered and safe to swim and dive with. Lastly, great white sharks are occasionally spotted in the deep waters but there have been no shark attacks recorded in Zanzibar.

Is Stone Town safe at night?

Erring on the side of caution, the answer is no. Muggings and robberies do happen, especially in dark alleys at night. So, don’t walk around by yourself at night.

Only take registered taxis or taxis recommended by trusted locals, your hotel or B&B, and friends. Alternatively, you can arrange an escort, to walk with you, at some hotels and restaurants.

The same rules apply in most major cities across the globe. Don’t wear flashy jewellery, or keep your valuables on you. Keep your wits about you and don’t divulge where you are staying freely. During the day you should be fine walking around on your own, but keep your eyes open.

When is the best time to visit Zanzibar?

The best time to visit Zanzibar is from mid-winter to spring or in mid-summer (southern hemisphere timing). These are Zanzibar’s dry seasons. The long dry season is over winter and spring and the short dry season is in mid-summer

Remember this is a tropical region which means the cooler temperatures of winter are still warm. So, you’ll still enjoy pleasant beach weather.

How long does it take to do safari in Tanzania?

The duration of an ideal Tanzania safari can take between 5 to 10 days, to ensure you hit all the top spots on your safari. The length though can depend on how long you’d like to stay and enjoy a specific place, hotel, park on your itinerary.
