    So sorry for your bad experience, I can say zanzibar is more of itself than a tourist attraction except for the beaches so it might be hard for you to get around and find the things that you want so it might have contributed to you feeling tired all the time. But anyways it’s always good to leave an honest review. Karibu tena ❤️. Hopefully when Zanzibar is more livable and easy accessible you can visit again 😊

    jeju, bylam tam dwa lata temu i pamietam ze tez do mnie ciagle podchodzili. na początku to było całkiem mile i zabawne, ale z czasem po prostu zaczęłam się bać, bo były pytania o zostanie żoną, o to czy wyjdę na spacer i nikomu o tym nie powiem ze idziemy. jeszcze do tego potem obsługa hotelowa także do mnie "zarywała"... majanga :)

    I completely agree with you. I just left Zanzibar and it somewhat ruined my Tanzania experience. You aren’t a Karen and it’s really frustrating when people follow you and keep harassing you for money. I wish I would’ve kept my stay in Zanzibar to two days instead of 5.

    Kaja, czy naprawdę warto jechać na ten Zanzibar będąc już w Tanzanii ? Jakoś ciężko mi się przekonać do tego miejsca, choć mam już bilet w jedna stronę to nadal mam w głowie inne kierunki i być może zrezygnuje z tej wyspy

    Oh you ARE Polish? I'm Polish too. Zanzibar may be paradise in some aspects, but there are also many things that make it far from paradise. You didn't even visit Stone Town. Zanzibar is MUCH MORE then just beaches. You didn't really experience Zanzibar at its fullest. You could have just gone to Mauritius, Reunion or Seychelles if you wanted beaches, which are true paradises. That being said, I do appreciate your honest commentary. I didn't watch the rest of the series, but I definitely wouldn't choose Tanzania if you've never been to Africa before. Southern Africa is much better for Westerners.

    There are no credit cards in taxis. Have cash with you. Do not offer to pay in $, they'll overcharge you - use local currency. Unless you are going to these big hotels/restaurants or big malls, make sure you have tz shillings everywhere with you.

    @Anil Gupta ooh wait, I forgot something. When you use services like Uber and Bolt, you have an option to add credit cards for direct online payment. Though drivers hate it, it's your best shot at paying with a card, and since you are new there, also at a fair price

    The pple randomly approaching selling stuff could be annoying. Most local pple struggle speaking in English and can be stressful. I understand the traditional feel but i feel most resorts must improve interms infrastructure and furniture by adding a modern touch. Difficult getting supermarkets and great restaurants to dine. Overrally the white sand and beautiful blue waters would be something you will enjoy. The pple are friendly and very safe to travel around. I would honestly say the experience was below my expectations.

    Instead of complaining about Zanzibari’s approaching her on the beach, she should appreciate the fact that she’s visiting a country where people have the basic right and freedom to access their beaches. She should acknowledge the fact that in some tourist destinations like Jamaica, the countries ordinary citizens are totally forbidden from access to beaches which are classed as private government territory. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eaOMrNOjmbXTdco.htmlsi=aYS1vam__trySE93 Where would you rather be?

    I like Tanzania Mainland and hate Zanzibar, the mentality of people is too bad there, they stare at women, approach them when they walk alone, sell drugs on beach. Illiteracy and religion mentality are destroying the island. Its too dirty, overcrowded and they treat dolphins and fishes badly, hitting them, feeding them so they can come on top. Never take private boat tour , I felt so uncomfortable with 5 men on boat(one of them constantly staring in a bad way), even though I was with my husband, that was the most uncomfortable setting, hotel staff was mainly from Tanzania mainland and was so good, I preferred staying there rather than going outside. My Serengeti Safari experience was awesome, but I would encourage people to not go to Zanzibar if they are solo women traveler.
