Tides
Download a tidal app. On the east coast, the sea can retreat up to 1 km, leaving lagoons ideal for seeing starfish but impossible for swimming.
Sunsets
The best sunsets are in Nungwi, Kendwa or from a sunset Dhow cruise in Stone Town.
Ramadan
During the holy month, many local restaurants close during the day. Avoid eating, drinking or smoking in public out of respect.
Photos
Always ask permission before photographing locals, especially women and children.
Malaria
Zanzibar is a risk area. Use repellent, sleep under a mosquito net, and ask about prophylactic medication.
Water
Always drink bottled water, even to brush your teeth if you have a sensitive stomach.
Cultural Respect
Zanzibar is 95% Muslim. Dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered) off the beach to avoid offenses or fines.
'Papasi' guides
Beware of unofficial guides (papasi) who approach you on the street. Always book tours through official agencies or hotels.
