Top Local Tips for Zanzibar

Stone town is facinating and do a slave trip to mangapani it opens your eyes to dreadful things in the past visit the slave market the old church with the slave caverns and you must visit the caverns at mangapani also used in the dreadful time in history

Dissapointed with weather Try and avoid the month of July - we found it very windy most of the time and it was cold, we had to ask for some thick blankets to put over us as we were very open to the elements with only blinds to keep the wind and cold out. Mosquitos were out in great force and for the first time I was bitten to pieces as was my husband - very badly. We ran out of sting relief spray and none was available at the resort so take plenty with you!

Close to the airport This hotel is between the airport and town so would be a convenient option if arriving late.
