Zanzibar Island Travel Guide: 71 reviews and 185 photos

Looking down from our plane we could see the sparkling waters of Zanzibar below.
Our drive was waiting when our flight arrived and a short hour later we were at the Langi Langi Beach Bungalows in Nungwi Village. We noticed the change in weather much warmer and a welcome change from Arusha. Lots to see on our short road trip. Zanzibar is really another world from mainland Tanzania.

Enjoyed reading about your stay in Zanzibar. I have longed to go there for some time now. Surprised about the bottle shop. Food sound inexpensive and good. Would love to watch the boats.

The name has held exotic thoughts for a long time in me memory. It sounds like jellyfish and cleanliness need to be improved, though. Good job of descriptions of the island
