Zanzibar is an amazing destination with beautiful beaches,...
Zanzibar is an amazing destination with beautiful beaches, friendly people, and a rich culture. Stone Town is full of history and character, and the spice farms, sandbanks, and snorkeling trips make the experience unforgettable. The food is delicious, especially the seafood, and the atmosphere is so relaxing. I highly recommend visiting Zanzibar for anyone looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation.Guest review byAnonymous - 8.0
I really enjoyed visiting Stone Town and the spice farms.
I really enjoyed visiting Stone Town and the spice farms. I mostly ate at my hotel, and at night I went to Forodhani, where the seafood was amazing. Although most of my time was spent in meetings, I managed to take a few walks, and I found it quite easy to get around using taxis or simply walking through the main areas. For anyone staying near town, great activities in Zanzibar include exploring Stone Town, taking a spice tour, relaxing at the beach, and joining a group boat tripGuest review bySaidTanzania - 10.0
Wonderful city.
Wonderful city. Recommend Stone Town for first time visitors. Vibrant with tightly-packed activity: people selling tourist items from small shops. Negotiate for everything. Loved the food/vibes at Secret Garden restaurant. Prepare to wake at dawn, the first of 5 daily calls to prayer from mosques. Stone Town is not clean. Garbage and feral cats are everywhere (sadly they contribute to the decimation of birds which is why you really only see the House Crow anywhere on the island.) Definitely visit the Slave Museum, $5, and Prison Island (recommend a tour as you need a small boat to get there.) As a solo woman traveling, I recommend a good sense of humor and talk to people- they’re friendly and helpful but shop owners can be assertive. I hired a guide for 3 days. Best decision! About $300 all in. Walk to Forodhani Beach at sunset-lovely. A great adventure. Visit Prison Island and the slave museum.Guest review bykarenUnited States - 8.0
It’s great, wonderful shopping and cool spots to visit.
It’s great, wonderful shopping and cool spots to visit. However, the pressure from the Taxi drivers as well as the Beach boys is pretty annoying and intimidating. You just have to develop your methods of saying no politely, but they are very persistent. They will try and drag you into a conversation in the hopes that they can get you to buy something and it’s really exhausting. They’ll ask you where you’re from what is your name, where you going where your staying… questions that no reasonable single woman would ever answer to a man in a foreign country …Most kind and polite people have a hard time ignoring that…. And I guess that’s the point of why they ask you those question. Nonetheless it’s my least favourite part of visiting here . It gets really old after a while. In many cases, they will follow you and continue to try to talk to you when you’ve said no like five times. I had to in many cases tell them to stop following me. It’s a bit intimidating as a single woman traveller…you think they’d know better than that but I do get it …they’re all just scrambling to make a buck. All that said, take a dalla dalla from Darjani market(or all over the island for that matter) #505 airport …a great local experience. 500 shillings(20 cents) to get from the airport to Stone Town in 15 mins…super easy. The taxis charge 25-30USD!Guest review byMeaghanCanada - 6.0

If you're looking for a beach holiday, I really wouldn't recommend Zanzibar, there are better destinations like Seychelles, Mauritius etc. People keep trying to annoy you, they will try to "escort" you and ask you for money, you won't get any lone time on the beach.Guest review bySudsIndia - 10.0
Zanzibar is a beautiful island.
Zanzibar is a beautiful island. I have never seen water so blue! We ate at the Rock restaurant which was amazing. We took a Spice tour, tour to Prison Island, Blue Atoll, Salami Cave and to see the Red Columbus monkeys. I would recommend all of the tours. The people are friendly and helpful. There are cats everywhere! Locals seem to take good care of them and put out food for them. There is even a cat cross walk sign.Guest review byDavid and PamelaUnited States

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.2Very Good - What previous guests thought, 1,554 reviewsThis was our second time staying at Tembo. The hotel is perfectly located. Right on the beach with two pools and a great continental breakfast. Rooms are a good size and ours came with a balcony. We stayed in the annex building this time which was only a few mins walk from the main building. Staff are lovely and they even made sure we had a take away breakfast the morning we left as we had an early flight.Guest review byTomUnited Arab Emirates
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Excellent - What previous guests thought, 1,199 reviewsWonderful historic house directly in stone town. The employees have been kind and caring. The room (Suite) was spacious and is decorated with historical Charme. The food and drinks are good and at a decent price. We also did the city tour, the spice farm tour as well as some transfers from the hotel. Good service abs customer orientation.Guest review byEricGermany
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.2Very Good - What previous guests thought, 4,618 reviewsWe had room 200, the presidential suite, which was large & great view. Restaurant was really good, breakfast was well done. Only realised on our last day that it probably is one of the few places to eat on the beach in Stone town. The hotel makes a good first impression when you turn up. Three lovely pools.Guest review byChrisUnited Kingdom
