Stand On Zanzibar

Product Information

Zanzibar is very different than say Bali which is also an island with a village like vibe in places like Canggu and Pererenan but offers total first world amenities like trendy restaurants, bars, cafes, and the like. If you’re a digital nomad looking to spend extended time in one place, I would highly recommend Bali over Zanzibar. The infrastructure on Bali is much more developed and the cost of living in Bali is half of what it would be on Zanzibar. The currency in Zanzibar

Travel Waterbottle: When uncertain about the water supply, we use our Grayl Purifier. It’s come in exceptionally handy around Africa. MY TIP:Don’t forget to barter. Start low and then meet in the middle – it’s pretty fun when you get the hang of it! But just know that you can only barter in the markets and smaller shops, don’t try it in the bigger, fancier shops. Take a Walking Tour of Stone Town MY TIP:If you want to do it a little differently, I recommend doing a spice tour with a Darajani market trip and a cooking lesson from Tangawezi Bistroin Stone Town. A lot more fun and great to see the spices through their full journey. See the Red Colobus Monkeys in Jozani Forest

Things to See and Do in Zanzibar

There is only 1 airport in Zanzibar, called Zanzibar (ZNZ). It can also be referred to as Abeid Amani Karume Intl, Kisauni, or Zanzibar Intl. Each evening, at Forodhani Gardens on the seafront of Stone Town, street vendors set up their stalls, selling seafood and meat kebabs, samosas, urojo soup (Zanzibar Mix), fruit, grilled maize, Zanzibar pizzas, and sugar cane juice to tourists and locals alike. Zanzibar is made up of a group of islands off the coast of Tanzania. Also known as the Spice Islands thanks to a thriving global spice trade, this lush ocean holiday destination dishes up a mix of cultures and cuisines to enjoy.

Red Monkey Lodgeis a great place to stay in Jambiani and they hold a Crazy Monday Jam Session every week – one not to be missed! Some of the hotels offer shuttles or they can organise a taxi! Clubbing in Zanzibar is always fun! MY TIP:They also offer a spice tour by bike, which takes you to see the red colobus monkeys in Jozani Forest too. So if you are short on time (or just want to be really efficient) this could be a great combo! Go on a Sunset Dhow Cruise What better way to see the sunset from out on the water? There are various different ones, from romantic cruises to crazy party boats most include drinks and some also include food. Ladies – just watch out for the men. They are generally very harmless but VERY forward and persistent in Zanzibar (and Tanzania in general) and it can get annoying.

However, I’d say the cheapest places you can find accommodations are in Nungwi, Paje, and of course Stone Town. A relatively cheap hotel in NungwiAnother good place to buy spices is Masa Japanese Restaurant above the Post Office on Shangani Street. If you’re a scuba diver, then you will want to visit Mafia Island. While there are endless diving options in Zanzibar, they do not compare whatsoever to Mafia Island. This is perhaps the best diving in East Africa offering crazy amounts of fish life and beautiful corals.

More social sci fi than focused on action, Brunner describes a complete unleashed market, PR- and commercial industry in a dystopian world as a mixture of Huxley and Orwell with a focus on showing the most perverse and extreme manifestations of such social constructs.
