Zanzibar Tips for FIRST TIMERS 🇹🇿Part 1 ⬇️:
1. DO NOT GO IN RAINY SEASON! Zanzibar has two rainy seasons- avoid visiting March–May (long rains period) and November–December (lighter, short-lived rains). I travelled at the beginning of the rainy season and 3 out of 5 were rainy days. In fact this dhow boat photo shoot was done in the rain!😅 I love the pics but what was supposed to be a 1 hr shoot turned into a whole day affair because of waiting out the pouring rain. Since most of what there is to do is enjoy the beaches and water in retrospect I would have rather travelled in high season to have beautiful weather everyday-especially if you only have 5 days at the beach you don`t want it to rain for 3/5 days- too risky! But if you are spending longer than 5 days at the beach and don`t mind some quiet days and changing plans around because of rain then def support tourism in the rainy season!
2. DON`T MISS SAILING IN A DHOW BOAT! Dhows are traditional sailing vessels that played a central role in the history of Zanzibar for trade and fishing! You can ask your hotel to arrange a dhow boat ride for you- sunset is a popular time of day to go but if you go during the daytime you`ll enjoy the turquoise waters! Cost of a dhow boat sailing trip is only 35$USD and up depending on how long and how many ppl!
3. HIRE A LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHER! Zanzibar is so beautiful and I highly recommend booking a photographer for a dhow boat or beach photo shoot! Comment "ZANZIBAR PHOTO" and I will send you the contact info for the photographer I used for this shoot! He was amazing and I highly recommend him!
1-10, which photo do you like best? And do you like the first 5 "sunny edit" or the last 5 "rainy moody edit?"

ZANZIBAR TRAVEL GUIDE 🏝️
THINGS TO DO
Stone Town:
Spend at least 2 hours here. The architecture is beautiful and there’s lots of great shopping. The island locals are muslim, so you’ll need to cover up when walking around town.
Jozani Forest:
Take a short hike through the forest to spot the cute Zanzibar Red Colobus Monkeys.
Snorkeling:
There’s lots of amazing places to go snorkeling around the island. I went to the Blue Lagoon because it was at our local beach by the hotel. The water temperature is amazing and there were so many colourful fish amongst the reef.
WHERE TO STAY
We loved our 2 bedroom villa the_bali_resort_zanzibar, it was so quiet and peaceful and just a 5 minute walk to the beach.
GETTING THERE
If you’re staying at one of the popular beach resort towns, the airport is more than an hour away. You can get a 9% discount for an airport transfer with my code TANYA09 with travelthru.official. They operate across more than 500 airports worldwide.

Abbiamo passato due splendide settimane a Zanzibar 🌺🏝️
Prima di partire ci siamo informati su quale spiaggia facesse al caso nostro, una cosa era sicura, volevamo passare più tempo possibile a fare kitesurf 🏄♂️🏄♀️ ed anche a rilassarci.
Così abbiamo scelto questa località, Paje.
Paje è la zona dell’isola più ventosa, wild e giovanile.
Sulla spiaggia è un susseguirsi di localini e ristoranti, senza che le costruzioni risultino invasive, ed ogni sera c’è un party diverso.
È una località affascinante e durante la giornata, grazie al fenomeno delle maree, si trasforma in un vero paradiso.
Si trovano strutture di tutti i tipi e costi e vi consiglio di non preoccuparvi di sceglierne una con la formula All Inclusive perché il cibo a Paje non costa molto ed avrete la possibilità di mangiare sempre in posti diversi.
Se non volete appesantirvi troppo, soprattutto a pranzo, potete fare come noi che a volte mangiavamo frutta fresca presa direttamente dai venditori in spiaggia.
Tra i posticini che ho amato di più ci sono il rooftop chiamato “Hi Sky” dove si può cenare o fare aperitivo guardando il tramonto 🌅 e il ristorante “The seafood heaven” dove si mangia del pesce davvero buonissimo 🤤
Nonostante questo viaggio sia finito con due fratture al metacarpo della mia mano sinistra 🖐️🤕 per una caduta con il kitesurf, è stato FANTASTICO passare 2 settimane in quest’isola tropicale e conoscere il suo splendido popolo ♥️

After a safari, it's common to hop on a short bush plane flight over to the island of Zanzibar for a few days. 10/10 recommend visiting this tiny, remote island off the coast of Tanzania 🏝️
We stayed at the stunning kilindizanzibar, which was originally built for one of the band members of ABBA before it was open to the public. I didn't realize Zanzibar had such clear waters, white sandy beaches, and beautiful tropical views everywhere you look 🌺
