Have you been to Zanzibar? Surprisingly, in comparison with, say, the Maldives and Sri Lanka, the prices seem to be interesting now. And they say that white sand and clear water.

I didn’t have to myself, unfortunately, but if you have extra favorite units, with pleasure! I watched a TV program about these places, I was impressed as a travel lover, but a comparison with the Maldives, or Sri ... is probably inappropriate, but white sand and clear water, based on the plot, have a place to be))) Now I will find a link to this program about Tanzania.

I would gladly go.
The direction is still exotic, but the prices have already become normal.
Go ahead and tell us :)

Been there.
Not cheap, there is nowhere to go from the hotel - around or hotels or poverty.
The city itself is gray, gloomy - although it does not interfere with visiting once.
The beaches are white, the water is clear, but - let's say in the hotel where I was - a concrete path into the sea, until you enter up to your chest - there is a clearing with sand, which is removed - you won’t enter the sea in other places - sea urchins are a solid carpet and corals.
You can go once, of course, but if you really go to Tanzania, it’s better to go to nat. parks - the Serengeti for example - the same money, but the incredible wildlife and animals around.

The landscapes are incredible.
And what is it worth “Have you been to Zanzibar!? “But I just got back.”
How much does it cost from Moscow time? Surely the excursion there is excellent, only you need to bunch up with white people.

That is, do you advise you not to walk around Zanzibar on your own?
As I understand it, you need to keep the hotel, the hotel beach and guided tours?
Do I need to be vaccinated for such an exotic African destination?
How many tourists are there? How long does it take to fly there?
What excursions do you recommend?

An interesting direction, when I read the brochures I wanted to go there, I just looked at the reviews of real tourists - not very much.
- a lot of jumps
- clay shore, frequent wind - muddy water
- locals go high
- have nothing to do
- sparse vegetation
- in the national there are few animals in the parks, the information does not match the brochures
- their cleanliness is a relative concept
- a little expensive

There are few tourists because there are few operators, flights and hotels. Let's say you ask to fly - 500 offers to the Maldives (with a flight), 20 to Zanzibar. But I think that's good just right.

Italy flies directly to Zanzibar - accordingly, you can fly with one change.
Hotels at prices are different - you can find out on Booking.com, but in principle they are not cheap.
I walked on my own - no problems during the day, another thing is that there is nothing special to see there, including with a guide.
At the moment when I traveled, a yellow fever vaccination was required, the rest is optional - I got vaccinated immediately from the entire set of an African traveler - typhus, hepatitis a, yellow fever and something else ...
I recommend it again - Tanzania is a country with incredible nature, but - on the continent - a trip to national parks and contact with wildlife is much more interesting than the beaches of Zanzibar, and for money - plus or minus the same

I watched more pictures from Zanzibar, sea urchins are everywhere in the water.
Somehow in Eilat came ... hellish pain, despite the fact that 2 cm of one needle was stuck in the leg.

And how in comparison in Sri Lanka, though?

I lived in a five star.
They make sure that they do not appear on a specially cleared clearing in the lagoon and on the path to it. Everything else is like a minefield...

Only one vaccination is required there - against yellow fever, and only for Zanzibar, mainland Tanzania does not ask.
She herself was not, a friend told me - even the local kids speak English tolerantly, a friend made friends with them in general, they taught her to count. Her impressions reminded me of stories about Goa in the sense that, apparently, either yours or not, no one is indifferent

In Zanzibar, beautiful white beaches are not everywhere, there are rocky bottoms and huge shallows. Read hotel reviews carefully.
Tourists did not rush to Zanzibar for several reasons:
1. Connections between flights from Kyiv for more than 8 hours.
2. Mandatory availability of yellow fever vaccination or a fine at the airport.
3. There is nothing to do outside the hotels.
4. White sand beaches at the price of the Dominican Republic.

The problem with Zanzibar is that it is compared to the Maldives or the Seychelles. These are fundamentally different things, so the expectations of tourists are not justified, and they begin to complain. When choosing a hotel, one should take into account that there are very good beaches there - hotels are more expensive there, and there are beaches with very strong low tides, but the hotels there are more affordable. Why people are shocked by the presence of low tides and hedgehogs in the ocean is not clear, as if geography was not taught at school. African service - a separate song. You must immediately relax and tune yourself to "Hakuna Matata", as the locals live. After the first visit to Africa, the surprise passes. Correctly said above - or love, or not.
According to claims to Zanzibar: there is poverty around - but what, for example, in Goa are solid palaces around? And nothing, no one complains about dirt or poverty, but all the time in Zanzibar. Just because they expect to see the Maldives, and here, oh horror, the locals live. Zanzibar is a great place if you choose the right hotel

well, our tourist Africa in his head is Egypt with the service all the same ...
An image has already been formed about Goa, yes, everything is clear to people what to expect.
That is, next to the type rather Sri Lanka?

I have not been to Sri Lanka, but I think it is closer to her, as she retained her flavor. The Maldives is probably better compared to Mauritius and the Seychelles. How is it that Africa is Egypt, at least for the reasons that Arab Africa and Black Africa, below the Sahara, are two different worlds. I liked Zanzibar more than Mauritius precisely because it has its own characteristics and flavor, and not a stupid hotel-beach-licking service. For the first time, many go nuts, but after several visits to Africa, you begin to understand that African service is not the same as bad service, it just has its own characteristics that you need to get high from. There are also hotels on Zanzik with super European service, only they cost a little bit more than the money that the average tourist wants to spend.

I think it's worth going for those who love beaches, relaxation, then be mostly in a hotel, or those who are ready to accept a different mentality and who speak English, since there are not many of our tourists there yet, which is obvious ... I would try)

I just wrote here in another topic that the current prices at which my friends bought Zanzibar-Srilanka last week, although choosing 3 *, they turned out to be comparable to the cost of a New Year's trip to Europe.
I couldn’t believe it, and I didn’t find a company (because a tour for two is understandably a more economical project).
