Why Zanzibar used to fly a little, and this winter the beach is filled with knowledgeable Russian people
Zanzibar is an archipelago of 75 islands located in the Indian Ocean along the east coast of Africa. And if for our tourists a couple of years ago, this part of Tanzania seemed to be a forgotten African outback, today many have discovered this paradise. So the questions are, When is the best time to go to ZanzibarThey started to sound more and more. Let's try to figure it out.
We have already noted that Zanzibar is an association of many islands. However, there are only three major islands: Pemba, Mafia and Ugunja. The last is the largest, and it is here that the capital of Zanzibar is located - the city of Zanzibar. Because of this, Ugunja Island is often called Zanzibar Island.
How does this remote region attract tourists? Endless beaches with snow-white sand, turquoise ocean water, beautiful nature and warmth. After all, while in January we have a raging frost in Zanzibar heat under 30 degrees is the perfect time to relax.

And Tanzania is stable in the “green” zone, so after visiting Zanzibar, you do not have to serve self-isolation or do a covid test. It is enough to get insurance, which, if necessary, will cover the cost of treatment, if the coronavirus still overtakes.
The best time to travel to Zanzibar is winter or the interval of time from mid-summer to mid-autumn. In the rest of the year there are frequent rains, which is not good for a good rest. A visa is also required to stay on the islands. You can get it at the airport for $50 for 90 days.

Zanzibar can boast of its sights. For example, here you can see Stone Town - the historical center of the capital, included by UNESCO in the list of world heritage. There are temples, mosques and much more.
On one of the narrow streets there is an apartment in which Freddie Mercury himself lived up to 5 years. Now a hotel has been equipped here, and everyone can live here for an impressive amount. Although any tourist can see the house of the legendary musician from the inside.

There are also antelopes suni and leopards, as well as rare species of birds and butterflies. It is forbidden to come here in the dark. Although during the day you can go to this original forest with wild animals and poisonous plants only in the company of a guide.
In Zanzibar you can meet giant turtles. These creatures, although they look huge, but in fact are very tender, so you can not sit on them for sure. Just scratch the neck of one of those hundred-year-old beauties to get her back on her feet. So making a memorable photo will be even easier.

Of course, on such an exotic island, a tourist can stay not only in an ordinary hotel. An experienced traveler can even rent a bungalow on the ocean. It will cost you about $20 a night. Although there are even elite complexes with such housing, where you will have to pay 5 times more for a thatched roof over your head!
Today Zanzibar is a rather civilized piece of land, where the tourist will be calm and comfortable. There are enough hotels, cafes and restaurants, a lot of entertainment with the best conditions for rest. And the locals treat visitors kindly and good-natured.

However, safety should not be forgotten, especially in the dark. We do not recommend giving money in advance for any product or service, and we do not recommend showing your cash reserve. But bargaining here is necessary and possible, because sometimes the price can be knocked down 2 times or more. Of course, we are not talking about stores with a fixed price tag.
We should not forget that Tanzania is a real Africa. And Zanzibar is well suited for exploring this continent. And if dangerous wild animals are unlikely to be encountered, then problems such as poverty and unsanitary conditions will rise to the full height.
After all, even tap water here is impossible not to drink, but even use for washing fruits. If you wash your hands with this water, use an antiseptic. So how can we use water? Except for the bathroom or shower. And the locals still water the gardens.
Yes, Zanzibar is an interesting holiday destination, but before you go to the islands, you should learn as much as possible about this region to be prepared for any unexpected situations. Then the chances of having a wonderful time will be as high as possible.
