Snorkling in Zanzibar

Touring Stone Town, Zanzibar

Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) serves as the primary portal to the enchanting island of Zanzibar, Tanzania. Situated on the island's western coast, near Zanzibar City, the airport is named after the country's first president and plays a crucial role in connecting visitors from around the globe to the island's pristine beaches, rich cultural heritage, and historic Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. With facilities to accommodate international and domestic flights, ZNZ airport is the starting point for unforgettable island adventures.

Safety in Zanzibar is generally good, but as with all travel destinations, it's wise to take standard precautions with your belongings and personal safety. Malaria is present in Zanzibar; thus, antimalarial medication is recommended. Ensure you are up to date with routine vaccinations, and it's advisable to have vaccinations for hepatitis A, typhoid, and yellow fever. Consult with a travel health clinic well before your departure.

Safety & Vaccinations

Abeid Amani Karume International Airport is accessible by international flights from various global hubs, often with a connection in Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, or other African cities. Several airlines, including regional and some direct international flights, serve the airport, making Zanzibar reachable from virtually anywhere in the world.

Getting There

Once in Zanzibar, taxis and rental cars are widely available for transportation. For those looking to explore Stone Town, walking is a great option due to its compact size. For longer distances, hiring a driver or taking a dala-dala (local bus) can offer a more authentic experience, though taxis remain the most convenient for tourists.

Getting Around

Visitors to Tanzania, including Zanzibar, require a visa, which can be obtained upon arrival or in advance. An e-visa system is also available, simplifying the process. Requirements include a passport valid for six months beyond your stay and proof of return or onward travel. It's important to check the latest visa requirements based on your nationality before your trip.

Visas

Abeid Amani Karume International Airport

Two things amazed me: the new modern terminal and the double runway. Unfortunately, I flew from the old terminal which was a mess. We had to wait on long queues for long and when eventually in, the staff weren't organised enough and check in wasn't smooth, took so long that it wore us out. The waiting lounge wasn't big enough too. The airport has good flight turnover but that particular terminal didn't have much shops.

This was a very busy airport to travel through. Be aware that you need a visa before coming unless you want to pay $100 to get one on arrival.

There is a fair currency exchange in the baggage claim area if you arrive during standard business hours. That was nice. There is a taxi hire board right when you walk outside if you need to get anywhere. The prices are quite high and seem to be non-negotiable. We used them to get up past stone town a little ways for about $45. Not too bad.

On departure please plan to arrive at least 3 hours early. I'm glad we did. We got stuck in an extra hour of traffic on our "45 minute" drive in. Also, they have a security check in before you check your bags and get your tickets. Then they have another security check. Then you have a customs desk where you must fill out a paper form.

After all that, you can sit in a non-air conditioned waiting area until your plane is ready to board.

It was cool to walk out on the tarmac to such a massive plane.

It's probably one of the best public buildings in Zanzibar!
The current score doesn't reflect the new terminal.. because they are different things (Google should modify).
There is a little of everything in there..free wi-fi, AC, small eating area, duty free, souvenir shop, clean toilets (in general clean and new building).
Easy check-in, informative panels.
Well done 👏  !

Negative (minor) aspects :
1. it's a must to take off your shoes during security check (and no disposable slippers provided - probably because of plastic interdiction).
2. Souvenir prices are big even for airport prices

*For those with negative reviews :
1. please don't relate the delay of your air company or the lack of professionalism of your travel agency with the airport itself. They have nothing in common.
2. Don't forget where you are..score the building for its entire environment..

The new T2 is so amazing. Clean, airy, full of natural light and smells so good. The efficiency of the immigration is unmatched.

As an AI, I don't have personal experiences, but I can assist you in creating a review for Abeid Amani Karume International Airport based on its general features and services:

"Abeid Amani Karume International Airport presents a functional and efficient travel hub. The airport boasts decent amenities and offers a smooth travel experience overall. Passengers can appreciate the clean and well-maintained facilities. While it may not be the largest airport, the staff is generally helpful, and the airport operates effectively. Adequate services and a comfortable environment make it a reliable entry and exit point for visitors to Zanzibar."

Zanzibar Beach Resort

I went out if season so the hotel was quiet. Rooms are serviced daily and amenities are good. Hotel is on the beach and the tide goes far out each day but comes right up to the hotel in the afternoons. Lovely authentic good sized rooms and all staff are attentive and polite. Very good security.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Zanzibar Beach Resort and it was truly a remarkable experience. From start to finish, everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations and left me with unforgettable memories.

Firstly, the staff at were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their warm smiles and attentive nature made me feel right at home from the moment I stepped foot in the lobby. They were always available to assist with any queries and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was exceptional.

The rooms at  were nothing short of luxurious. The attention to detail in the decor and furnishings created a serene and comfortable ambiance, perfect for relaxation. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep each evening. The cleanliness of the room was impeccable, and I truly appreciated the regular housekeeping service.

One of the highlights of my stay was the breathtaking view from my room it was a delight to wake up to such beautiful vistas. The hotel's location also provided easy access to nearby attractions, making it convenient for exploration.

The dining options at were exceptional. The breakfast buffet offered a wide array of delectable choices to suit every palate. The quality and freshness of the food were evident, and the attentive staff made dining a delightful experience. The hotel's restaurant also served mouth-watering dishes, prepared with finesse and bursting with flavors.

Last but not least, the facilities at Zanzibar Beach Resort were top-notch. The fitness center was well-equipped, enabling me to maintain my workout routine even while traveling. The swimming pool was a haven of relaxation, providing a tranquil retreat after a long day of exploring.

In conclusion, my stay at Zanzibar Beach Resort was an absolute delight. The exceptional service, luxurious accommodations, incredible views, delicious dining options, and excellent facilities all contributed to a memorable and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay. It certainly won't disappoint!

Thank you, Zanzibar Beach Resort for making my stay truly remarkable. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Trio: Reception person, person with mosquito repellent & security are hand in hand for scamming tourists with fake dollar bills. There is no such thing as "locked door" to your room, your belongings are their belongings at the right time(a small trick can open your door anytime). Video footage with thief scheme on my go pro handed to embassy. Reported to police,  police knows about it and does not recommend the place either. It seems that people are aware and avoid the place (90% of their rooms are empty).-5 stars

Quite remarkable, exceptional service and good customer care from reception to service, the hotel also offers a variety of food options catering for special needs and the rooms are quite impressive, keep up the good work

The beach has amazing views of the ocean. The local staff are really nice and the rooms are clean. The hotel is some km from the port but easily accessible. Breakfast wasnt that good n we couldn't get hot water in the bathroom on the first day. But on the second day we got warm water and really nice breakfast.

Jafferji House

The hotel is unique with old style architectural detail consistent with Stone Town. The lobby and public areas are well decorated with vintage furnishing and pictures/art.  Our room was excellent a real retreat. The staff was very helpful with reservations and directions. Would recommend for visiting Zanzibar.

We had booked this hotel after several days in Zanzibar due to its location. I had received the confirmation email the previous day and when we arrived, we were told that they were fully booked. Excuse me? So from a 4 stars paid hotel, we were invited to move to another hotel of the same owner (3 stars) but far from the desired location. Jafferji hotel had 24h to let us know the problem of our booking but never bothered to let us know. This is the reason of my disappointment with this hotel. The recepcionist, when he saw our disappointment, offered us free lunch or dinner at Jafferji. We had a lovely dinner at the top roof restaurant which had great views.

In the heart of stone town, it’s literally three minute walk to every place you would want to visit
The staff are just the nicest , big shout out to Sam, who helped me get around and showed me the way around the place and was very tolerant with my breakfast. Even after I would show up late, he would always find a way to accommodate me and serve me everything I needed.

I love it might stay here, and I am very sad that it was only for two days

The rooms are big , the Wi-Fi works. I don’t understand why everyone says that it doesn’t. It worked perfectly fine for me. As soon as you get there, you’ll get your Wi-Fi username and password and you can start connecting immediately.

The view in the terrace is to die for its view of all of Stonetown , the breakfast is nice, and the staff made my state more enjoyable

One thing I was worried about is the security because I arrived late at night  (3 am) and the hotel is very traditional like, but that soon went away after my first night and my first stay there, securities, 24/7 staff are reachable 24/7, and I am a very messy person, so I would also always leave my stuff scattered around and would come to find them in their exact position untouched. I definitely recommend this place. It’s also very magical in the morning. I’ll leave you some pictures to see.

10 / 10 would recommend .

Beautiful place, clean rooms and great hospitality at the center of the Stone Town.

Never book this hotel!!!
The hotel itself is very ugly,dark and dirty. With absolutely pathetic breakfast available.

The manager and staff are incapable of fulfilling small tasks and takes them days of misleading lies.

I would recommend to overlook this hotel and it's group completely as they have an absolute lack of communication.

It is terribly frustrating to deal with this type of people if you need anything done it will not happen whatsoever.

I hope to help any other travelers to not be fooled by advertised pictures into booking anywhere else besides here

Meliá Zanzibar

We came to Melia Zanzibar to spend our honeymoon there. It was magical. This hotel is absolutely beautiful but above all is the service: just perfect. The staff is highly professional and kind, always with a big smile on their face, they make you feel at home. The food was delicious. However I’d like to make a special mention to Jacob from the recreation team. He made our holidays so special and unique. We will never forget how he amazingly took care of us. We can say that we came back home with a friend. We will definitely come back if we have the opportunity to. Thanks a million. It was the most perfect holidays ever.

Talk about Paradise.  This 5-mile property offers everything you need.  Villas, Rooms, Houses, Beach, Bar, etc.  I would come back here again and again.  The service by the staff was just incredible.  They were kind and pleasant to all of us during our visit.

7 nights are simply not enough!!!!

In this paradise you will enjoy an amazing truly Zanzibar hospitality and amazing food and views.

Make sure to book level room and to get all inclusive package, and you are ready to start the perfect holiday

The most wonderful place ever. But dont be fooled by "all inclusive". Alot of food or drinks is for additional cost. And the first thing they require before even letting you in is writing down your bank card number for "safety reasons" which was the most unsafe feeling for us. We visited 2 other hotels who had real all inclusive and never required to write down band card number.

Excellent hotel, management, service, location and gardens. The only blemish of our stay is that my ear pods went missing from the room by the end of our stay, I thought that a rather low value item wouldn't attract friends but unfortunately it was not the case.

Fascinating Animals Found on an African Safari

The Places You'll Stay on an African Safari in Tanzania

What to Expect on an African Safari

Nyerere National Park, formerly part of the Selous Game Reserve, is now Tanzania's largest national park, named in honor of the country's first president, Julius Nyerere. Spanning over 30,000 square kilometers, it encompasses some of the most untouched and diverse ecosystems in Africa. The park is renowned for its rich wildlife populations, including African elephants, lions, leopards, over 400 species of birds, and the rare African wild dogs. Its landscapes are varied and spectacular, featuring the Rufiji River, which bifurcates the park and offers unique boat safari experiences. Visitors can explore vast woodlands, wetlands, and savannahs, providing unparalleled opportunities for wildlife viewing, photography, and adventure. Nyerere National Park is a testament to Tanzania's commitment to conservation and offers a more secluded safari experience compared to its northern counterparts.

The park is generally safe under the guidance of experienced tour operators. Vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, and malaria prophylaxis are recommended for travelers to Tanzania.

Access to Nyerere National Park is often via road from Dar es Salaam, which can take several hours, or by chartered flights from major cities to airstrips within the park, offering a quicker and scenic arrival.

Safari vehicles are the primary means of exploring the park, with boat safaris along the Rufiji River offering a unique perspective on the wildlife and landscapes.

Visitors to Tanzania require a visa, obtainable on arrival or online through the eVisa system, ensuring access to the country's national parks and conservation areas.

Nyerere National Park

We loved our visits to the park.  It is a path less trodden than some of the other parts of Tanzania.  The result is a feeling of space and the randomness of the natural world.  It is not entirely a neatly packaged and commercial place, piled high with wealthy tourists in designed safari gear and it is all the better for that.  Maybe it will move in that direction eventually, when the road from Dar is completed (if it is ever completed!).  My advice would be to get there before then.

We had a wonderful experience in the park! We saw lions, wildebeests, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles and many other animals and plants. What an incredible experience!

Wonderful safari with a lot of animals. The guide and the driver with great skills were very kindly and friendly.

A unique experience!  The Jeep was amazing even though we had rain season. Highly recommended

love this park so much. one of the best! few people and loads to see.

Tanzania's largest national park, a haven for diverse wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.

Unveiling Tanzania's Wonders: Exploring Safaris Through Internal Flights

Mtemere Airstrip serves as a crucial entry point to the Nyerere National Park, one of the largest faunal reserves of the world, located in Tanzania. It offers travelers an immediate immersion into the wild, untouched landscapes that are teeming with Africa's most iconic wildlife. The airstrip's remote location ensures visitors experience the unspoiled wilderness and the natural beauty of Nyerere National Park right upon arrival.

While Tanzania is generally safe for travelers, it's advisable to take precautions against malaria and ensure you're up-to-date with vaccinations like yellow fever. Visitors should also follow the advice of their guides and lodge staff regarding wildlife and local conditions.

Mtemere Airstrip is primarily accessed via light aircraft from major cities like Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Zanzibar. The flight offers a stunning aerial view of the vast Nyerere National Park and its winding rivers.

Safari camps and lodges typically arrange transport for guests, including game drives, walking safaris, and boat trips on the Rufiji River. Self-driving in the reserve is not common due to the challenging terrain.

Visitors to Tanzania require a visa, which can be obtained upon arrival for many nationalities or in advance through Tanzanian diplomatic missions. Ensure your passport has at least 6 months validity and check the latest visa requirements specific to your country.

Mtemere Airstrip

Great experience but landing is a bit rough due to terrain.

Just an airstrip, small kiosk and toilettes. No security checks or anything, you literally just land/depart there for your safari. Great experience.

Landing strip directly in the savannah, clean and well-kept bathrooms. No checks, formalities on arrival and departure. Fantastic experience

The original place, a landing pad in the bush. No formalities, they are very clean, they clean the toilets and sweep the sidewalks. Immediately you enter the njerenjere park. They have to chase away animals that enter the airplane runway

Great environment and starting point for great safaris

A gateway to the remote and wildlife-rich Nyerere National Park.

Short rains bring freshness, fewer tourists, and a balance between wildlife viewing and scenery.

All tents are equipped with mosquito nets, fans, and solar power or generators for night-time use, ensuring comfort amidst the wilderness.

 For air travel, it's advisable to book a safari package which may include chartered flights to the nearest airstrip followed by a drive to the camp, as the journey can be complex

To reach Foxes Safari Camps Rufiji River Camp by land, one would typically travel from Dar es Salaam, which is approximately 250km away from the camp's location in the northeastern part of the Selous Game Reserve

Rufiji River Camp, nestled along the banks of the Rufiji River, offers a remarkable safari experience in Tanzania's vast Selous Game Reserve, with its prime location providing an authentic wilderness atmosphere.

Rufiji River Camp

The camp was more than what we had originally budgeted but well worth it. The professional staff provided several options for touring including vehicle, boat, and foot.  The hostess was attentive but not intrusive. The guides were professional and knowledgable. We had an interest in birds: the guides (and bar tender) were knowledgable in this area.The food was first class and the kitchen staff  friendly. The rooms and pool were cleaned daily. The unheated pool became a must. Daily laundry service was provided at no extra cost. We stayed four nights and would recommend three nights minimum.

Honestly I had one of the most magical and special times of my life staying here. The staff were so kind and genuine. The Banda we slept it was beautiful and the each morning we work up to a sympathy of birds singing. The food was also excellent and different than the day before! The safari tours were magical and the guides were excellent

What’s not to love about this Safari lodge? Rooms are amazing. Wild animals at night! Food is delicious and well presented. Staff are very attentive. The Safari drives are great especially the all day ones. Great sunsets. Lots of hippos and crocs on the river.

The staff made our honeymoon safari a real magical experience. The attention to detail, their kindness, the quality of the safari guides (Katankara & Emmanuel - thank you again), the food is absolutely delicious, the views are to die for. The tent was beautiful with a gorgeous bathroom and private patio. A huge thank you to all the team for making our stay this beautiful!!! We can’t wait to come back to the African bush.

We stayed here for 2 nights for our honeymoon for a safari trip. Overall we would wholeheartedly recommend the Rufiji River Camp without question. It is worth the money. 10/10.
In terms of service, it really was the best service we've had on any vacation anywhere. The staff were all helpful, friendly, welcoming and obvously wanted to make our stay special. We had mentioned it was our honeymoon, and they really pulled out the stops to make it extra special.
In terms of the safari experiences, they really were amazing. We went in with no expectations because it was our first safari, but we were blown away. The jeeps were comfortable, we were in small groups (or solo), the guides were exceptionally knowledgable, and asked us what we wanted to see, and the scenery was incredibly. You can't guarantee what you'll see, but we saw most of the famous african animals you'd expect.
In terms of food - it was all freshly cooked meals which were absolutely delicious. I looked forward to every meal: breakfast, lunch and dinner. 9/10.
Location and scenery of the hotel - you can't get better. You're right in the nature reserve, so you can get out and see the animals when they're most active at sunrise. Also, the view from the restaurant/chill out area is mind blowing - looking out over the river you can see hippos and crocodiles resting (far below - so don't worry). It really couldn't be better 10/10
In terms of room and state of the camp - again 10/10. The "tent" completely surpassed our expectations. It was comfortable, spacious, clean, stylish. We wished we could have had more time just to relax in the room. The bathroom facilities was also nice, clean and a pleasure to spend time in. The decor of the camp was really nice, and the amenities were nice. Comfortable chairs. Nice different areas to spend time in. Firepits. a bar.
Overall - we couldn't recommend rufiji river camp more.

Perched on the banks of the Great Rufiji River within the Selous Game Reserve, the camp offers breathtaking river views and spectacular sunsets accompanied by the natural chorus of hippos and birds​

Guests can embark on walking, boating, or vehicle safaris to explore the rich biodiversity of the Selous, offering intimate wildlife encounters

With a choice of classic tents or luxurious suites, the camp provides comfortable accommodation with eco-friendly features like solar water heaters and generator-operated electricity, all while maintaining a close connection to nature

At the heart of the Rufiji River Camp, the accommodation beckons with a promise of comfort nestled amidst the wild allure of Tanzania's wilderness. The camp offers a variety of room options, each designed to provide a serene retreat after a day of adventure. The Classic Tents exemplify simplicity yet spaciousness, furnished with comfortable Zanzibari beds, wardrobes, writing desks, and enveloped with mosquito nets to ensure a peaceful slumber. The en-suite bathrooms add a touch of modern convenience within the wild setting. For those seeking a more luxurious stay, the camp's suites are a perfect choice. Each suite is connected by a shared walkway, and comes with a private plunge pool, offering a tranquil setting for families to unwind and relish the beauty of the surrounding nature. All rooms feature comfortable, large double beds and a spacious deck, providing a vantage point to relax and watch the wildlife drama unfold right before your eyes. The en-suite bathrooms with running water, along with a lockable safe for valuables, blend comfort with security. The rooms at Rufiji River Camp are more than just a place to rest; they are a vantage point from where you can continue your safari, observing the wildlife that freely roams around the camp. And, as the dusk descends into the African night, the rustic charm of the accommodation under the thatched roofs offers a quaint yet comfortable retreat to reminisce about the day's adventures. The solar water heaters ensure a supply of hot water, despite the remoteness of the location. The camp's eco-conscious approach extends to its power supply, utilizing generators to provide electricity while minimizing the impact on the pristine surroundings. The subtle blend of modern amenities, rustic charm, and a close connection to nature encapsulates the essence of a stay at Rufiji River Camp, making it an unforgettable part of your Tanzanian safari adventure.
