Hi Thank you so so much for all th Zanzibar videos. I've been searching for some info on this place so that I can plan ahead. But all other videos ( well not all, but mostly) are about showcasing their vacation n trips m vlogs etc. hardly telling anything informative about the place itself. You have nailed it. This isy second video on your channel about Zanzibar and I'm loving all the content. So thank you once again for making these videos. It really helps for travellers like us! :) Also would like to mention that you exude very warm and positive energies!!! Love!!
I went to Zanzibar last year. She is absolutely right when she describes the vibe of each city. Stone Town is not somewhere i recommend for more than one night. It's more of an industrial type of place (cargo ships, market, etc). Paje is cool if you want to relax and a quiet vibe. It's great for couples. Nungwi was my favorite place to go to because it has a great social/party scene and i like how all the hotels are right next to each other. You can bar and restaurant hop. There are restaurants, stores, and shops right outside the hotel. Kenwa Rock is a party spot too. I plan on going back in December of this year. Great video by the way. It was very helpful.
I may never get to these beautiful beaches in Zanzibar, but your videos make me feel I at least understand some of the culture and can see the beauty!! I ❤️ traveling through your stories around the world!! 👍
Your videos are always honest and full of useful information! I didn't think of Zanzibar before but now I'm curious to know more about it. That water looks so blue! 😍
Well, that's a great vid 🎉❤ Have you ever heard that ZANZIBAR is a combination of main two islands which are Unguja the one you visited and Pemba island which is on the north of Unguja ? Probably not. Since most of the tourists who actually travel to Zanzibar have no clue about Pemba island at all. Alright ! When you combine these two islands together Which are Unguja and Pemba, then you get one name which is ZANZIBAR.. There are over 51 small islands on it tho. I think you should come back to Unguja to visit Pemba island. That sounds you will have already visited both main islands when you do that. Therefore you can tell people that you've been to ZANZIBAR already, kidding Lol 😍
Great info for anyone who is interested in traveling to Zanzibar. I never would have thought I wanted to go there but now I have seconds thoughts! Thanks!
oooooo! yah tanzania! i have videos on each spot dropping soon. but obviously a day in stone town to see it (i think 1 night is plenty), and then choose either jambiani or nungwi based off the vibe you’re looking for 😉
Another viewer provided me with some helpful info - please verify it's validity, but it seems legit when I went through it -- zanzibarcovidtesting.co.tz/app/home safe travels to you!
Hi, thank you for the video and all the informations! I wanted to ask you, did you feel safe there? Or where there occasions where you thought this was risky right now?
Hi Flavio! I have a separate video about how I felt about safety/etc. It's in the zanzibar playlist - there is a link in the description of this video!
Thank you for the video of another perspective of Zanzibar. You should meet up with another TH-cam traveler Harald Baldr that is also traveling in Zanzibar at the moment to share stories.
I read this and I think "what are dolladolla vans". Please link your helpful youtube video or blog post about it so others can benefit from this insider tip!! I LOVE IT when people help. I HATE IT when people just call out "what's missing" without taking the opportunity to CONTRIBUTE and HELP others. this is what it's all about isn't it?
Hi. Love your video and it’s very helpful. I have questions. If you a American citizen and travel to Zanzibar. It’s better to apply visa online in advance? Or can get it at the arrival? And do you need to get any shots before traveling to Zanzibar?
Great questions! I'm in my experience.. YES you can apply for a visa online in advance (it will make your arrival process faster) but given I came here literally a day after booking my flight, the online visas take a few days to process so I did mine in person. The only thing I was worried about was yellow fever given I was traveling ON to a safari afterward.. but otherwise, I wasn't aware of anything else needed. Does anyone else in the comments have an experience they can share?
woooo june! march to may is the rainy season so hopefully you’re in the clear. i’ve got.. 7? 8? videos on zanzi including my cost breakdown one which includes all the info on where i stayed! 🥳
I have an entire video about what I paid.. but everyone's preferences are so different! you can say at $50/night hotels and $500/night hotels... 👀 . I’m hoping someone else in the comments might know the answer to this and can help out!
Hi. From South Africa, Cape Town, have just booked flights to Zanzibar, we have two kids ages 11 and 13. Any suggestions on where to stay for a week or two , we want to make it a really special time for our kids to bond and be happy and have fun, and hopefully close or on the beach. William
How fun! I’m hoping someone else in the comments might know the answer to this and can help out! ... I shared EVERYWHERE I stayed in my videos (I have an entire playlist for Zanzibar videos link in the description of this video)... I didn't hold back! So I don't have anything else to share 😆
I have an entire video that breaks down every cost (including that one!). If you want exact costs and want to find a tour operator.. I recommend sending a whats app to Abdul (his info is in the description of this video!)
This is awesome- what’s the best resort next to live events, best beaches, restaurants (rock), etc? I’m planning to go there end of next month…thanks in advance
ah that sounds awesome! there is GREAT nightlife. i have a video about nungwi (see the video link in the description below). i'm wondering if someone else can speak to the crime. I feel like as long you stay on the tourist path... you're fine. But I saw people walking in the dark (locals and tourists) with NO street lights all the time (and at crazy hours)
I think it depends on how many parts of the islands you want to see! Check out Jupiter's blog in the description of this video - it has some helpful itinerary ideas!
I’m planning this elaborate Tanzanian bucket list milestone birthday trip for my 50th. I literally want to count backwards from 10 at 11:59 pm stargazing in a hammock the eve of my birthday at a North Serengeti hotel. Ahhh Then I want to go to Kilimanjaro, a 3 city Zanzibar tour and round out my trip in Seychelles the last 3 days. Do you think I could pull this off in 3 weeks, or should I book a month? And will $20,000-$23,000 cover everything including all flights, lodging, meals, ground transportation, and excursions? Thanks!
WOW this sounds amazing! Anything can be pulled off in theory.. and I'm always an advocate for MORE time in a place. I’m hoping someone else in the comments might have an opinion on this and can help out!
You also need to know that some tourists are experiencing attacks by locals who are taking their belongings. We have been in Zanzibar in May 2021 and we have been victims of such attack. One local attacked me and cut my crossbody bag using a knife. The bag had all our money, our bank cards and mobiles. He should be watching is since some time so he knows that everything is in that bag. They are professional and they work in gangs. Please be careful!
@@ChristineLozada Thank you! I really hope this won't happen to anyone, it is very bad. People should know what is happening so they can at least take some precautions. I would easily have been hurt or kidnapped (who knows), these people are professional and they know what they are doing. The police asked us to pay them to return our mobiles (2 Iphone 12 pro) so you can guess what is happening over there. Take care and all all the best!
I have read that Zanzabar is not safe. People have commented they were robbed at knife point. Stood all the passports, money etc. How safe is it there. My fiance wants us to visit for our honeymoon.
everyone has a different experience. consider checking out the honest video of the 'not so great parts' of zanzibar i personally had an experience with in the description of this video

Any video that begins with “AAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!” in the first couple seconds is a great one.
HAHAHAHA! I’ll make a point of starting more videos this way 😂
Hi, thank you for the video and all the informations! I wanted to ask you, did you feel safe there? Or where there occasions where you thought this was risky right now?
Hi Flavio! I have a separate video about how I felt about safety/etc. It's in the zanzibar playlist - there is a link in the description of this video!
I thinking of going to Zanzibar for my honeymoon… are these the only places you would recommend?
this is one of several videos .. check the playlist!
Hi amazing video what are the hottest and driest months to visit Zanzibar?
i think there should be weather info in the description of this video!
Thank you for the video of another perspective of Zanzibar. You should meet up with another TH-cam traveler Harald Baldr that is also traveling in Zanzibar at the moment to share stories.
i just saw something about that on reddit .. thanks!
Thanks a lot, can I bring my drone camera and use it on the island?
Great videos. I love your enthusiasm & details. I read that you can buy VISA at arrival at airport in Zanzibar for $50 while it costs $139 online?
sadly i bought both 🙄. mine didn’t come in time. visas are diff prices depending on what country you’re from!
Hi, I do not hear you talk about the DollaDolla vans that takes you around the island!
