Discover cheap things to do in Zanzibar

Zanzibar, Tanzania, is a paradise of experiences that won’t break the bank for budget-conscious travellers. Start your adventure at Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you can wander through narrow alleys lined with stunning architecture, visit the bustling Darajani Market for local produce, and even explore the House of Wonders, all at minimal cost. For a day of sun and sand, head to Nungwi Beach, where you can relax on the soft, white sands or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters without splurging on pricey excursions. Don't miss the chance to visit the Jozani Forest, home to the rare Red Colobus monkeys; the entry fee is affordable, and guided tours are often available. Sample the local cuisine at street food stalls in Forodhani Gardens, where you can indulge in fresh seafood and zesty Zanzibari pizza at budget-friendly prices. Staying in the more affordable areas of Stone Town or Nungwi will enhance your experience; here, you can find charming guesthouses and budget hotels that offer excellent service and a chance to mingle with locals, ensuring you feel pampered without the high price tag. Whether you’re exploring historical sites or enjoying the vibrant local culture, Zanzibar offers a wealth of affordable adventures that cater to your desire for quality and value.

TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

TUI BLUE Bahari Zanzibar

8/10 Good
"Our inbound transportation wasn’t there due to misunderstanding on the hotel part even though we had called and exchanged few emails but they found a quick solution for us and it went very smoothly. I would suggest to add some snacks (cookies, cakes, crisps, chocolate bars, etc .) at the bar and not only drinks to make it more convenient."
