Things to do in Zanzibar
Stone Town
One of the favourite things to do in Zanzibar is just to wander around Stone Town, which is the old town of Zanzibar City, the capital of the Zanzibar archipelago.
Eat at Forodhani Gardens
If you want to find the best place to eat, look to see where the locals are eating. Forodhani Gardens are the best place just located on the seafront of Stone Town, street vendors set up their stalls, selling seafood and meat kebabs, samosas, urojo soup (Zanzibar Mix), fruit, grilled maize, Zanzibar pizzas, and sugar cane juice to tourists and locals alike.
Try the Local Foods
Being an important trading hub on the old spice route between the east and west, the Zanzibar cuisine, is as you’d imagine, pretty amazing.
Buy Spices and Fabrics
For a truly awesome, immersive, and sensorial shopping experience It’s a great, local experience as well as one of the free things to do.
Ride a Dala Dala
No trip to Zanzibar (or Tanzania) would be complete without a little ride on a dala dala minibus. These tend to be packed, sweaty, and with questionable safety records, but they are an experience and the cheapest way to get around the island.
Go on a Sunset Dhow Cruise
What better way to see the sunset from out on the water? There are various different ones, from romantic cruises to crazy party boats most include drinks and some also include food.
Snorkel at the Mnemba Atoll
Take a trip out to the Mnemba Atoll and go snorkelling or scuba diving in one of the most beautiful spots around. You’ll find an abundance of marine life and may even see some dolphins! This trip is quite different from the Safari Blue trip, so you could even do both.
