Things to Know Before Your Zanzibar Beach Holiday

Airports and Connections: Zanzibar’s main entry point is Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ), located just outside Stone Town. The airport is well connected to major hubs such as Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, Doha, Istanbul, and Amsterdam. Domestic flights from Arusha, Kilimanjaro, and Serengeti airstrips are frequent, making it easy to combine this 4 Days Zanzibar Beach Holiday with a safari.

Currency: The local currency is the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS), but US Dollars are widely accepted, especially in hotels and for tours. It’s advisable to carry some local currency for small shops and restaurants. ATMs are available in Stone Town and in some larger beach towns like Nungwi.

Weather and Best Time to Visit: Zanzibar enjoys a tropical climate year-round. The dry seasons (June–October and December–February) are best for beach holidays. March to May is the long rainy season, with heavier showers. Average temperatures range from 25°C to 32°C (77°F to 89°F), making it ideal for swimming and sunbathing.

Language: Swahili is the national language, but English is widely spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants.

Time Zone: Zanzibar operates on East Africa Time (EAT), UTC +3.

Health and Safety: Yellow Fever vaccination is recommended if arriving from a risk country. Bring mosquito repellent and consult your doctor about anti-malarial medication. Zanzibar is generally safe, but standard precautions apply when walking in towns or using local transport.

Dress Code: While swimwear is appropriate on the beach, it is respectful to wear modest clothing when visiting villages, towns, or cultural sites. Zanzibar is a predominantly Muslim region, and conservative dress is appreciated.

Connectivity: Most beach hotels offer free Wi-Fi. You can also buy a local SIM card (Zantel or Vodacom) for better mobile internet coverage, especially if you plan to work remotely or stay connected.
