Also, another time period when people visit Zanzibar is when it is hot and dry from December to February. The good thing about Zanzibar beaches is that even if you go out of season, you can still enjoy yourself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The short answer is yes. And while most visits to Tanzania are uneventful, violence and armed crime are on the rise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Pay particular attention to places frequented by tourists and expats. There is a high crime rate in Dar es Salaam; at Ubungo Bus Station, Masaki Peninsula \/ Oysterbay area, especially at Coco Beach and along Toure Drive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Zanzibar is not a cheap destination. Although you can have a nice time in very good hotels for BGN 110 per day with all expenses included.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n No. Avoid drinking tap water and eating any fruits or vegetables that may have been washed with water. You should always drink bottled water or buy a water filter bottle for your own safety.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Where is Zanzibar?:<\/strong> This small island may not be easy to find on the map. Zanzibar is one of the islands in the Indian Ocean. It is located on the Swahili coast, adjacent to Tanzania, which is the country.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Visa<\/strong>: You can get a visa on arrival in Tanzania, which means you don't need to apply for it in advance. Although you can if you want. Once you arrive at the airport, simply head to the immigration office with 50$ and 2 photo IDs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Language: The main language in Zanzibar is Swahili, but English is their second language, so most people can speak English there.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Currency<\/strong>: The currency in Tanzania is the Tanzanian shilling. There are ATMs in Stone Town, so we would recommend that you withdraw enough cash for your entire stay on Zanzibar Island, otherwise you may run out of cash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Safety: Residential burglaries are on the rise in Zanzibar and Arusha in 2018. In any case, check with your travel company about current safety in Tanzania.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Also, there is malaria in Zanzibar and some other diseases that you should check in advance. Regarding vaccinations, you must have the yellow fever vaccine to enter the country and have your vaccination log with you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Since this is a dengue area, we recommend you have a mosquito repellent with a high concentration of DEET. It is important to have good travel insurance when traveling to these countries so that all travel essentials are covered.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n What to pack<\/strong>: Zanzibar is a very hot and humid place. The average temperature is around 29 degrees and gets a little colder at night. Try to pack light and breathable clothes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n How to get around:<\/strong> There are two different ways to get around Zanzibar, one is by taxi and the other option is public transport<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Taxis: Most taxis don't have a meter, so you'll have to negotiate the price with the driver (try it. For safety reasons, make sure the taxi you're traveling in has a license and that the license belongs to the driver.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Public transport: They are like small buses that are crowded during peak hours and do not have air conditioning. They are much cheaper than taxis, but probably less comfortable and don't have much room even for a backpack<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You can also fly from Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar. Check your options on Skyscanner as they have some pretty good deals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In Zanzibar you will spend an average of $59 per day. Take into account that moving from one point to another in a taxi is not really cheap. This will also depend on your negotiation skills, but it won't be as cheap as a bus.<\/p>\r\nWhat is the best time to visit Zanzibar?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
