Important Safari Tips

1. Protect Your Skin from the Sun

Zanzibar’s beaches are beautiful but can be quite sunny. Make sure to apply sunscreen frequently to protect your skin, even on cloudy days. Wear a hat and sunglasses to shield your face and eyes from harmful UV rays.

2. Stay Hydrated

The tropical climate of Zanzibar can be hot and humid. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially before and after outdoor activities to stay hydrated and avoid fatigue.

3. Respect Local Culture

Zanzibar is a region rich in history and culture. Always dress modestly when venturing outside the beach resorts, especially when visiting villages or cultural sites. This is a sign of respect to the local community.

4. Be Aware of Tides

The tide can change rapidly in Zanzibar, affecting beach activities such as swimming and snorkeling. Make sure to check tide schedules at your resort, especially if you plan to engage in water sports or go for walks along the beach.

5. Bring Cash for Small Purchases

While most resorts accept cards, small markets or local vendors may only accept cash. Be sure to carry some local currency (Tanzanian Shillings) for any small purchases or tips you wish to make.
