Frequently Asked Questions

Zanzibar is part of Tanzania. If you already have a Tanzania mainland visa, it typically covers Zanzibar as well. East African Tourist Visa holders can also enter. Check the current requirements for your nationality before travel as rules change.

The most common route is a short domestic flight from Kilimanjaro International Airport or Julius Nyerere International (Dar es Salaam) to Zanzibar (ZNZ). Flight time is 30-45 minutes from Dar, or about 1.5 hours from JRO. We can arrange this as part of your overall itinerary.

Zanzibar is generally safe and welcoming to tourists. Standard precautions apply: keep valuables secure, use reputable transport, and be respectful of local customs (Zanzibar is a predominantly Muslim island — modest dress is appreciated when not at the beach).
