    Activities are great but most places are teeming with tourists. It's probably better to be taken for activities privately (price will be about the same anyways). Better to book through existing tour operators because the freelance guides always add extra onto the price. Night Food market is a must but be careful not to be ripped off, they just handed you plates of food & then charged a ridiculous amount afterwards. Cape Town Fish Market is a must for a sunset dinner. Prison Island & Nakupenda was average, they were overrun with people. The Spice Farms & Slave Chambers are a must to understand the passed history & Coral Caves have stunning natural pools to swim in deep underground. The North has Mnemba Island, great for snorkeling. The East is windy & good for Kite Surfing. The South is supposed to be good for deepsea fishing but myself & another group only caught white Snapper, no Game Fish.

    Very busy city, lots of traffic & motor cycles. Communication was slow . Very expensive place . Couldn’t find any malls. Lots of tourists . Very interesting shopping at indoor malls & buying fruit off the street. Lots of negotiations for the USD .

    Zanzibar is an amazing destination.

    Zanzibar is an amazing destination. Don't just go to the beaches also visit the villages and learn the culture. Try Sea Walk and Quad Bike is a must. Don't leave Zanzibar without going to Mnemba Island for Dolohines best sighting. In stone town don't miss Stone Town Cafe for their Hearty Beef Burger they call it Sandwitch. At night just stick to Forodhani for all kinds of food.

    Old town is amazing.

    Old town is amazing. Walking around the lanes and back roads showed the real character of the place - particularly when you get outside of the "tourist" hub. No need for tour guides - just grab a map and explore. Also visit the fish market for a real look into the day to day life of the locals and fishermen.

    Stone Town in Zanzibar is the place to stay, for about three days. Enjoy the excellent beaches by staying at one or more, dividing your time between northern & southern beaches. preferable to hire a car for this purpose, as large distances & some activities like dolphin watching best from 6 to 7 AM, less crowd & more dolphins. each beach has something special, like Page beach for Kite Boarding. plenty of sea based activities. sothern beaches less crowded

    The city and the infrastructure needs more improvements. For someone who has no much access to white sand beaches this island can offer something. Freddy Mercury's museum was the biggest highlight to me personally.

    Nice hotel right on the beach and next to the port. Great location with everything in easy walking distance from the hotel. Our room was spacious and clean with a huge ornate bathroom. Beds were big and comfortable. TV, Fridge and a Kettle in the room with some tea and coffee provided. Breakfast was ok. The pool was nice with plenty of shaded areas and a great way to cool off after walking around the back streets of Stone Town.

    The location is amazing, right on the beach, so great for people-watching. The hotel is big, but not too big so it feels very cozy! The staff were incredibly nice, everyone from the concierge to the room service, to the guards, to the waiters - everyone! The pool is lovely, but my absolute favorite was the 200-year-old mango tree. If you don't stay here, at least come for drinks and a look at this beautiful tree!
