Dear diaspora, we should be supporting this creator as an expatriate in South Africa, I can contest this content is as real as it gets without focusing on luxury and or getting views to invest as a middle person. She always provide useful honest content and focuses on the importance of pan-Africanism through connection with local communities, food and culture. 💯
This was really very educative and informative. I am from Namibia and celebrated my 70th birthday in Zanzibar last month and I fully agree with what you said about the beauty, the hospitality, good food and spices on Zanzibar. I also returned with the notion that Zanzibar is paradise and the best place to live on earth. I, off course, did'nt experience much about the cons but mostly the pros. Your contribution is an eye-opener and you presented it in such an open , honest and genuine way. I am still planning to go there to enjoy the beautiful beaches and more especially the SEAFOOD. Asante sana.
Black American here who is thinking to moving to Mama Africa in the future. I just visited the continent in August. Spent a week in Zanzibar and two weeks in Nairobi, Kenya. Great video and valuable information. 👍🏿
@ oh you are jealous because you can’t afford an investment property?? Poor baby!!! But me and husband can and you dear idiot can’t stop us. I’m so sorry your life is miserable 😩
You speak Eritrean , Ethiopian , German , English and Swahili . Very impressive. Thank for going back and passing important African information. DANKE .
Well structured and explained, Weyni! My ex-girlfriend is from Zanzibar and had invited me to visit the island some time ago. I even thought of considering living there bearing in mind the natural beauty, multiculturalism, etc. of the island. Now that you have explained the reality of life there, I would consider it only for a visit. Thank you for your helpful and eye-opening information!
Very informative and accurate video. I stayed in Zanz for a total of 3 months in 2021/22. I agree with all your points except one...I absolutely LOVE to swim in the ocean. I swam most everyday there right up until my last day. But thats just me. My gf was tired of the beach after a couple of weeks and tired of the sand I kept tracking through the house, sandy wet shorts dripping sandy water. Sand, sand, sand. Btw, Stonetown has the best street peanuts I've ever had. The ones with the chili oil are excellent. Especially after they've just been roasted and are still warm.
I am from tha Netherlands and lived in Dar es Salaam for 2 years during Covid years as a single mom. I loved every second but it was not easy. Very true what you point out! Good and affordable education and extra curriculum activities are indeed key if you want to relocate with children especcialy teenagers. Love your channel 🎉
A good friend who is Ethiopian will be visiting Zanzibar soon, which is also on my bucket list. I stumbled across your video and so much enjoyed learning more about your “second home”. Thank you!
This is very true. I lived and worked in Zanzibar some time back. They hate Christians. They also don't like foreigners in general and Kenyans in particular. It's a place to visit but not to live in. I can also say confidently that the Kenya South Coast especially Diani has equally good beaches if not better. I loved touring the stone town and watching the people dive near the floating restaurant in the evenings.
It's truly such a blessing to watch you speak so in detail about everything. This video is packed with the best information and truth about the island. Thanks so much queen!❤
Having to deal with Egyptain culture since 1973 , very good advice Yes u are a visitor in these people country Lots of European Americans forget that 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice to hear your life experiences especially from Zanzibar. I was born and raised in South East Coast Jambiani Zanzibar. Thank you for your positivity, openness and the truth which I very much appreciate 🤝
I visited Zanzibar in 2022 and agree with everything you said. I’m a continental East African raised in America so it was an interesting experience 😂 I stayed in Nungwi at a villa owned by a local man and I wish more ppl would do that instead of going the Resort route that exacerbates the wealth inequality on the island.
ስሊም ወይኒ : Thanks for your explanation about the island of Zanzibar however, I was so in love with this Island of Zanzibar to buy some land and to build a house, you made it clear the good and the bad of the Island. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I am from Zambia, I have been to many eastern and southern African countries and found service provision in Tanzania to be the worst. I went to Stone Town on a day trip and it was hellish. The shoving, filth, and chaos at the ferry terminal was wild. I was literally bruised and pushed against a fence lol I was also with my 11 year old cousin and even he was being shoved. Stone Town was so dilapidated, every toilet I went to was flooded, and a lot of the heritage sites were not accessible and the one we did get to visit was so crowded. As a young woman I was constantly harassed - and no I was not wearing anything revealing.
Berbers are the sane ethnolinguistic group as other Afroasiatic black Africans such as Cushitic, Omotic & Semitic found in the Horn of Africa, ancient Egyptian & Chadic languages.
@@shokokrossimy late father in law was Arab and two of his son in laws are Black. He spend most of his time with one of them. Like they were joined at the hip. Of course there are racist Arabs especially people who are privileged and ignorant. But the idea that they are all racist is a trope spread by people right now committing a genocide. You will be popular with them.
Zanzibar is like the Mombasa and malindi of the 90s,there were at least 10 large resorts and hundreds of villas and cottages being built every year for like 20 years and then boom! It all stopped, but mainly due to terrorism, a problem Tanzania doesn't have. I realized that you can get better deals in places like sharja in Dubai, it's actually cheaper than most African resorts without the beach boy harassment and it's actually world class. Those large resorts don't really help the local economy since the packages are paid abroad and very little trickles down plus they have the nerve to import most products and avoid buying locally ...like 80% of the profits benefits the foreign tour operators.
Amazing video! So many reasonable points here. I have also been twice to Zanzibar and I can definitely relate to a lot of the things you spoke about in this video. 🤞🏽 keep up showing all the sides of the continent 🙏🏽
What the narrator said about Zanzibar applies to most countries in Africa to varying degrees..One must be prepared mentally,physically,monetarily,& have a good network;in particular locally.Doomed to disappointment otherwise.It's not like "Welcome home brother/sister"More like "you're foreign" ..
This is true when you said that when you LIVE on the island, you really don't think about going to the beach every month. Being on vacation and living on an island are two different things.
The fast, effective internet, electricity, international schools and amenities Kenya is years ahead. Nairobi,Mombasa,Diani, Lamu, Malindi, Nakuru,Naivasha,Eldoret ,Kisumu,Kitale and many more cities are more advanced. I want to relocate from Sweden to Kenya , I speak fluent Swahili, English and Swedish. I just have to find properties to invest in
Thank you Weyni, you painted a detailed and colored picture of Zanzibar that I was not aware of. You covered all areas of interest for people who might think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. I pledge to follow your channel to get more educated about life in East Africa.
This is so well thought out and informative. I think anyone who is thinking of moving offshore anywhere should see this video and do a quick self check.
Good for you! My beautiful sister, I am from Ethiopia myself but I have been in the US for the past 22 years and now I have been thinking about going back to Africa
Great input. I really appreciate this video. Indeed helpful. I have been considering this move to Zanzibar for a while now. The worst is the corruption when having to face this on a daily basis. It will prove to be super frustrating.
I was born in Zanzibar, and grew up in the UK. I would only say one thing, if you don't have $1500 per month to spend, you can't live in Zanzibar. The beaches are beautiful , you can swim anywhere on the Island, even in the stone town. Food is great, people are nice and hospitable. It's just too expensive for those who are looking for bargains.
Hi! Thanks for the points! I’ve visited and wanted to share though- I went solo as a woman and in stone town - there are just so many men who are tour operators, selling souvenirs, loitering and just chilling, trying to get your attention, calling you, etc - honestly it felt uncomfortable. So solo women, please take note. Being in a resort in Nungwi felt much better
The biggest struggle for me is the massiv inequality on the island. I had the same feeling as you, that is gets worse from year to year with new businesses popping up everywhere and noone really includes the locals living there. That fact really gave me a hard time there 💔
Thanks so much for your very beautiful and informative content. I love it. As regards WiFi,I believe Starlink are due in the market soonest and one of the most irritating things will be resolved. Looking forward to meeting you in Zanzibar and thanks again for post 🙏
Very balanced views. We could say the same about most of TZ. Some 'swings and roundabouts' in most places in TZ. The key is whether one wants to stay here. Determination, know how, knowing the right people and knowing learning swahili, crucial for succesdful living here. Great video.
You are one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL women I ever met ..rather saw . I live in India and travel a lot. I stumbled into ur vdo quite by an accident .. i couldnt move away . 😊 loved ur vdo ..very informative . Shall keep it in mind before coming to Zanzibar . Thankyou .
Thank you for this highly educative and, enlightening clip...Actually Zanzibar was our first choice(relocating to Africa). We have indeed settled for Ghana and Tanzania.....with Ghana being our favourite....Much❤❤❤❤❤ to you.
Because you Are a specialist in Cultural Anthropology and African Studies, I sincerely appreciate this video for explaining different cultural perspectives compared to other countries such as Europe and the US!!!! Excellent Video!!!
I enjoyed your presentation immensely. For a person who comes from a modern country with almost all the amenities, you just cannot live in Zanzibar. No one wants to have a stressful life, fresh fruits and vegetables or not ! Although my island is classed as Third World we are quite modern. You get all that is needed for life. Of course we have quite a share of crime and murders as well as trying traffic situations. Blue sandy beaches and pristine forests are enjoyed by tourists for a few days, but Police corruption, unreliable electricity supply, kids not having education, and short supply of internet access are not conducive to the enjoyment of life. Thank you for this video. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
Oh wow Sistaah just found your channel. I am from the UK about to retire in a couple of years ago. I also travelled around the world 🌎 in 2008. Best experience of my life 🥳😎.
This was a wonderful and very informative episode. I definitely have a clearer picture now. To me it sounds like living in Dar es Salaam and visiting Zanzibar when you want is a better option..Thaks for sharing your experience..You mentioned a few, but I would love to hear the pros and cons of Nairobi since that is where you are staying..
A very informative video. In 2023, one of the challenges I had was payments. Adoption of mobile payments was so low that I could only visit established businesses. Add to that network issues. If you want to buy local, then cash might be the easier option.
I do appreciate your elaborate outline of the pros and cons. The only issue I have with most tourist locations is an occasional need for serenity and quiet. I'm just considering it as a vacation home(s) that I can also rent out when im not there. A rental car/shuttle business wouldn't be bad too. Thanks.
Thank you for this useful information. I have always wanted to hear about the island of Zanzibar and glad to have come across your tube. Time has come for the Africans to rise up and embrace their homes. Thank you @PlanB-Back to Africa.
@@planB-BacktoAfrica well, you are to be admired for your experiences. When you share others benefit and learn that’s why I subscribe to your channel. Thank you 😊
Hallo aus Deutschland sehr schöne beschreibung von Sansibar ,ich war schon 4 Mal da und am 24 November komme ich wieder nach Jambiani, 2 mal war ich nach Nungwi aber mir gefällt besser Jambiani beach ist authentisch ❤❤❤
I am from Eritrea but residens in Sweden and I was in Zanzibar in the northern of Zanzibar in march 2023 in the hotel Riu and it was amazing hotell and very nice peoples of Zanzibar ,thankyou sister you remind me about Zanzibar and me and my wife we miss the peoples more than everything
We have trips planned to make foreigner to be enjoyed 1 - safari mnemba island to swim with dolfins 1- safari blue to snorkeling and see how beauty of underwater
Enjoyed this clip. I hope that Starlink becomes available in Zanzibar. A little expensive, but very fast. Plus, in SA many are bypassing public electricity by installing their own solar panels since you were here. Best wishes in future
never forget that Zanzibar is located in Tanzania and eastern Africa, therefore it belongs to black Africans and not to Arabs and Asian Indians.. in fact, the Arabs have to apologize to the Africans they enslaved for more than 700 years
The Omani slave traders owned the island for hundreds of years of yrs and the Indian settlers brought in goods from India but the locals remained at the bottom till today. Either she doesn’t want to tell the real history or up to something
@@Tefera-hf8fwThose trade routes don’t require modern ships so they have probably been going on for thousands of years. The focus on slave trade is probably an Islamic thing but the trade routes in general have been there thousands of years.
Let's face it, without the foreign influence...the Arabs, Portuguese, Persians, Indians etc into Zanzibar there would not have been a stone town. That the crucial part of Zanzibar. The beautiful beaches? Not exclusive to Zanzibar!
I'm going to spend 3 days in Zanzibar. I'm interested in seeing Stone town, and some of the beaches you mentioned, maybe Nungwi or Paje. Do you have any recommendations on which area I should stay? Stone town, Nungwi, Paje, or somewhere else?
That was so good and so real. Basketball is becoming a thing though. I had to subscribe to your channel. I look forward to seeing more of your content.
The wifi situation would not work for me. Sounds as if you would need a lot of patience. I have always admired their beautiful beaches, even though I'm from the Caribbean. Thank you for the information.
Hi wini how are you I just found you on TH-cam and subscribe. Originally rom Addis leave in Texas been to Zanzibar and loved it currently I worked for the state but planning to retire in Mexico after watch your video I start thinking about Zanzibar
This was very informative. I'm traveling there early next year in January. I just subscribed. Do you have any videos on Nairobi Kenya? Please share with me. 🎉😂
I was debating between Zanzibar & Mombasa , but I think Mombasa is where to live as Internet and electricity is of paramount importance plus Mombasa or Malindi far more advanced
Great video. It sounds like you are from Germany, which is not an issue. I am from Switzerland on my sabbatical. Indeed African countries did catch my interest. At least some of them appear to have their own view of how they see the world. Very bold and very brave. So yes keep it up and show us more videos outlining why African countries might be an option for a plan B.
Hey Weyni, that was a very informative video. You also have a very naturally soothing voice that’s captivating to listen to. I see you in even bigger platforms with your own show! What resources would you recommend for someone interested in purchasing land for growing spices like vanilla beans for export? Thank you
Wow, thank you 🙏🏾 unfortunately I don’t know much about vanilla farming, only what I learned during the spice tour in Zanzibar. But surely exporting vanilla would be a great business idea, since it’s the second most expensive spice in the world. I suggest to visit Zanzibar and do some research on this. 👍🏾
Hi, Wehni. I love the music in your videos. Some I've never heard but the sound refreshes me. I am not planning to live in zanzibar, but I would like to get the contact information of your lawyer because I'm planning to move to Kenya. I have two young children therfore I did some research and I know the type of visa I will be applying for. Can you refer your lawyer if you can. Thank you in advance.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch
Ich freu mich sehr für dich
Alles gute ❤👍🏾
Danke 🙏🏾
I do appreciate your elaborate outline of the pros and cons. The only issue I have with most tourist locations is an occasional need for serenity and quiet. I'm just considering it as a vacation home(s) that I can also rent out when im not there. A rental car/shuttle business wouldn't be bad too. Thanks.
Good information, thank you!
Thank you for this useful information. I have always wanted to hear about the island of Zanzibar and glad to have come across your tube. Time has come for the Africans to rise up and embrace their homes. Thank you @PlanB-Back to Africa.
Honest opinion is always appreciated 😊
Always good to hear perspectives
@@pohcp3 True, I wish someone had told me about the challenges of living there.

Excellent presentation -- very thorough
Glad you liked it!
I really appreciate your honesty. Great video
I appreciate that!
Enjoyed this clip. I hope that Starlink becomes available in Zanzibar. A little expensive, but very fast. Plus, in SA many are bypassing public electricity by installing their own solar panels since you were here. Best wishes in future
Very good talking and advice.😁🙏👏❤️
This was so helpful! I may have to rethink Zanzibar only because I work online and need a mostly consistent WiFi. .a lot of pros work for me
Thanks for sharing , visiting in december
never forget that Zanzibar is located in Tanzania and eastern Africa, therefore it belongs to black Africans and not to Arabs and Asian Indians.. in fact, the Arabs have to apologize to the Africans they enslaved for more than 700 years
The Omani slave traders owned the island for hundreds of years of yrs and the Indian settlers brought in goods from India but the locals remained at the bottom till today. Either she doesn’t want to tell the real history or up to something
@@Tefera-hf8fwThose trade routes don’t require modern ships so they have probably been going on for thousands of years. The focus on slave trade is probably an Islamic thing but the trade routes in general have been there thousands of years.
Sadly, the Omani royals still technically own the whole Coastal strip, including Mombasa.
Let's face it, without the foreign influence...the Arabs, Portuguese, Persians, Indians etc into Zanzibar there would not have been a stone town. That the crucial part of Zanzibar. The beautiful beaches? Not exclusive to Zanzibar!
I'm going to spend 3 days in Zanzibar. I'm interested in seeing Stone town, and some of the beaches you mentioned, maybe Nungwi or Paje. Do you have any recommendations on which area I should stay? Stone town, Nungwi, Paje, or somewhere else?
That was so good and so real. Basketball is becoming a thing though. I had to subscribe to your channel. I look forward to seeing more of your content.
Thanks for a wonderful and informative clip.🌺
The wifi situation would not work for me. Sounds as if you would need a lot of patience. I have always admired their beautiful beaches, even though I'm from the Caribbean. Thank you for the information.
Very insightful!
Hi wini how are you I just found you on TH-cam and subscribe.
Originally rom Addis leave in Texas been to Zanzibar and loved it currently I worked for the state but planning to retire in Mexico after watch your video I start thinking about Zanzibar
Great video. Pleaae share your experience living in Nairobi too. What are the pros and cons.
She has done a video on that already. Look out for it.
Thanks for this thorough take!
My pleasure!
This was very informative. I'm traveling there early next year in January. I just subscribed. Do you have any videos on Nairobi Kenya? Please share with me. 🎉😂
Yes I have. Feel free to check them out 😊
I was debating between Zanzibar & Mombasa , but I think Mombasa is where to live as Internet and electricity is of paramount importance plus Mombasa or Malindi far more advanced
It doesn’t mean the situation will never improve in Zanzibar.
@timcamer4702 it's the attitude and culture that's the problem
Great video. It sounds like you are from Germany, which is not an issue. I am from Switzerland on my sabbatical. Indeed African countries did catch my interest. At least some of them appear to have their own view of how they see the world. Very bold and very brave. So yes keep it up and show us more videos outlining why African countries might be an option for a plan B.
Hey Weyni, that was a very informative video. You also have a very naturally soothing voice that’s captivating to listen to. I see you in even bigger platforms with your own show! What resources would you recommend for someone interested in purchasing land for growing spices like vanilla beans for export? Thank you
Wow, thank you 🙏🏾 unfortunately I don’t know much about vanilla farming, only what I learned during the spice tour in Zanzibar. But surely exporting vanilla would be a great business idea, since it’s the second most expensive spice in the world. I suggest to visit Zanzibar and do some research on this. 👍🏾
Don’t waste your money n time it’s all in the hands of the Indians in east Africa instead look out for other opportunities
I really appreciate your content I love you so much keep doing it
Very well done. Thank you
Thank you for sharing. It was wonderful. But, I didn’t hear about the weather??
Thank you for the video I’d love to visit!
Hi, Wehni. I love the music in your videos. Some I've never heard but the sound refreshes me. I am not planning to live in zanzibar, but I would like to get the contact information of your lawyer because I'm planning to move to Kenya. I have two young children therfore I did some research and I know the type of visa I will be applying for. Can you refer your lawyer if you can. Thank you in advance.
Thank you for this video. It was very informative and detailed. You very beautiful and intelligent as well.
Wherever you are.. I am interested in that country! Great video and presentation.
