Deals To Zanzibar
The Zanzibar Archipelago, located in the Indian Ocean 15 miles off the coast of Tanzania, is a breathtaking spot to escape from the world. You’ll enjoy clear, turquoise-blue water; shallow sandbars perfect for wading; and many small, nearly deserted islands virtually unvisited by tourists. Explore the World Heritage Site of Stone Town, Zanzibar City’s old quarter. Or just go beach to beach between tiny fishing villages—each one’s better than the next.
Booking a package deal (return flights and accommodation all in one) with Vibrant Holiday Safaris can definitely work. Packages can often end up being cheaper than booking the same resort and your own flights independently.
We recommend using local travel operators like Vibrant Holiday Safaris if you plan to travel to Zanzibar since they provide you with with amazing tailormade all inclusive packages that are impressive and affordable.
How to book a trip to Zanzibar, Directly
We did a lot of research to determine whether it would be cheaper to book a package deal (like above) or to book everything separately and directly ourselves. The answer to this question will differ depending on your circumstances.
If you are looking for a 3-5 star resort stay then the above Vibrant Holiday Safaris packages will almost always come up cheaper (if you grab one of their specials). If you would prefer to book more rustic beach bungalows or self-catering Airbnbs then you may find it cheaper to book everything directly.
How to plan a trip to Zanzibar around the Weather
Zanzibar has warm, sunny weather throughout the year so you can go anytime. If you are flexible then here’s some tips:
Go when there is the least rain and the most clear, blue skies which is June to October. Avoid the long rains which start end March until about end May and the expensive peak season which is from September to January.
Money and ATMS?
Most big resorts, guesthouses and shops will accept credit card. Otherwise you will need to withdraw Tanzanian Shillings from the ATMs. There are ATMS in Stone Town and outside most banks in each town.
What to Pack on your Zanzibar Trip
This is also very personal and dependent on what your island getaway entails. Here are just a few highlighted items we can definitely recommend.
Mosquito/insect repellent, suncream, water shoes for walking along rocky coastlines or reefs, long skirts/sarongs/light pants for covering up in Stone Town or any of the culturally conservative villages and perhaps your own snorkelling gear.
Zanzibar is a must to go place and Vibrant Holiday Safaris helps you plan just that.
