Just let us know your interests and budget, and we’ll create a personalized experience for you.
Do I need a visa to travel to Zanzibar?

We recommend packing lightweight, breathable clothing, swimwear, sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, comfortable walking shoes, and modest attire for visiting cultural or religious sites. Don’t forget your passport, travel insurance, and any necessary medications.
