Frequently asked questions

Which part of Zanzibar is best for a beach holiday?

Different parts of Zanzibar offer different atmospheres. Nungwi and Kendwa in the north are popular for lively beach stays, while places such as Jambiani on the southeast coast offer a quieter atmosphere and a stronger connection with local island life. The best area depends on whether you prefer relaxation, water sports, restaurants or a more peaceful setting.

Is Stone Town worth staying in?

Yes. Stone Town offers a completely different experience from Zanzibar’s beach resorts. Its narrow streets reveal a mixture of African, Arab, Indian and European influences, with historic buildings, markets and local food. Spending time here adds culture and history to a Zanzibar beach holiday.

Why is Zanzibar called the Spice Island?

Zanzibar has a long history of growing and trading spices such as cloves, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg and cardamom. Today, visitors can explore spice farms to see how these plants grow, taste tropical fruits and learn how spices have influenced Zanzibar’s history, cuisine and culture.

Is Zanzibar good for snorkelling and diving?

Yes. Zanzibar’s warm Indian Ocean waters, coral reefs and marine life make snorkelling and scuba diving popular activities. Different sites around the archipelago offer opportunities to see colourful fish, corals, turtles and other marine species.

What should I wear when exploring Zanzibar outside the beach resorts?

Zanzibar has a strong Swahili culture and predominantly Muslim traditions. Away from beaches and resorts, respectful clothing that covers the shoulders and knees is a good choice, particularly when visiting villages, Stone Town and religious or cultural sites.

Can I combine Zanzibar with an African safari?

Absolutely. Zanzibar is especially easy to combine with a safari in mainland Tanzania. After visiting destinations such as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro or Tarangire, you can finish your journey with several days of beaches, marine activities and culture on Zanzibar. Zufan Eco Tour also currently offers Tanzania-and-Zanzibar combination journeys.

The breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, and exceptional service made this one of the highlights of our trip. I Our trip to Semien Mountains National Park with Zufan Eco Tours exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived until the end of the tour, everything was organized professionally and ran smoothly. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the park’s wildlife, history, and breathtaking landscapes, making every stop interesting and memorable. Seeing the Gelada baboons in their natural habitat and hiking through the dramatic mountain scenery was truly unforgettable. The team was friendly, punctual, and always made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout the journey. Their passion for Ethiopia and commitment to responsible tourism really stood out, making the experience even more meaningful. If you’re planning a visit to the Semien Mountains, I highly recommend Zufan Eco Tours. They provided outstanding service, excellent local expertise, and an adventure we’ll never forget. Thank you for helping us create such amazing memories!
