Zanzibar Lowdown 2025
Zanzibar Island的点评
点评：Hi, just returned from a 2 week trip of Zanzibar nd thought I'd write a quick review and hopefully give a few tips for those thinking of visiting Zanzibar.
Taxis are plentiful and the prices are all very similar from one driver to the next but you can negotiate a little with them i.e Stone Town to Nungwi is $50 but I got it for $40. You can book your taxi via WhatsApp weeks before you leave and it's a good idea to keep the same driver as they will do you good rates if you use them for your day trips and moving around the island. I used a guy called Eddy who was reliable and friendly (+255 716228827)
Firstly, I hd a great time whilst in Zanzibar and I stayed in three different areas, Makanduchi and Kizmikazi in the south and Nungwi in the North. The South of the Island is very different to the North in that it is a lot quieter with a lot less tourism, so if you looking for real R&R I would recommend the south, the beaches are clean, there are generally only a few guys on the beach selling things (Hawkers I call them) and they are generally relaxed, smily, respect your space and a No, thank you is enough of them to leave you alone.
There is very little to do in Makanduchi except chill out, get a tan, sit by the pool, walk on the beach have a drink at the hotel bar etc, there are very few hotels or restaurants and the restaurants there are are based in the hotels, iso bring and few books and relax
Kizimikazi is on the other side of the island, and is a beautiful beach with mesmerising sunsets, a great little fishing village and a bit more in the way of hotels, resorts and restaurants, obviously more tourists means. few more seller on the beat who are mainly young Masai men, but again they are smily, friendly, a little bit more persistent but non threatening.
Nungwi is your main tourism place and is a lot more built up, with hundreds of options for where to stay, restaurants and bars on the Bech and a little further inland off the beach. The beaches are still clean, the sunsets are still amazing Burt there a lot of Hawkers selling T-shirts, bracelets, carved ornaments and well basically everything in between. I don't normally buy anything from beach guys, however this time I bought a few trinkets for my family, don't get me wrong I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it I'm just not a great shopper.Again they re friendly, smily, they aren't threatening but they are a lot more persistent and will walk with you down the beach talking to you about Zanzibar and Nungwi but really they are just hoping to make a sale. I did enjoy the restaurants and bar scene here though as more places means more competition ewhich means the quality was better.
Resorts and rooms are not cheap in Zanzibar and I thought they were overpriced compatred to other beach holidays I've been to like Thailand and Goa etc, the rooms were always clean and well maintained but for anything half decent it was circa £80 - £120 per night for B&B and a lot more for all inclusive! Some of the high end resorts owned by the Big corporate hotel companies in Nungwi are as much as £250 Per person per night for B&B and in my opinion are just not worth it. A GnT will set you back $8, A burger $10-12 and a good meal with drinks around $35-65, which is the same as European prices.
Hiring a moped or car is easy and practically every hotel and resort can arrange for you, I hired a moped and $20 a day is about average, the hotel will also help you arrange your Tanzania Licence which was about $15 I think and is just a piece of paper with your other licence detail on and some details from your passport and feels like it's just another little tourist Tax from the government!
Call the Cops!!!
The cops in Zanzibar are crooked and are a pain in the A**E, they stand on the side of the road every few miles pulling people over for nothing including tourists, taxi drivers anyone on or in vehicle. The hotel manager told me to always carry with licences on me and told me to carry some small notes to give to them like 2000 or 3000 Tanzania Shilling (which is bout £1.00), however the first time they pulled me over I hadn't had chance to change any money and it cost me 20,000 Tanzania shilling which is about £7.00, it isn't a lot of money but when you know they are just pocketing it , it is bloody annoying! They also seem to be a lot more pushy if you show you are nervous or unsure when they pull you over. Buy the second and third they pulled me over I was a lot more versed, shows them my confidence by saying JAMBO (hello) firmly, handing them my licence and not taking any of their rubbish. They will even try and tell you that you didn't indicate but they are just trying it on. The hotel manager told me they are just after money for their lunch but if they take 3000 of everyone they pull then they are on to a good little scam!
In short, have your wits about you, Zanzibar is a very poor country and you can see this everywhere when you leave the resort but in general it is very safe, I didn't see or hear of any crime while I was there and in general the people are friendly.
One last thing the UK.Gov website sys Zanzibar is high risk for Malaria, I bought Malaria tablets, tons of mosquito repellent, bits cream etc and I only got bitten three times in the whole time I was there. I normally get bitten to death everywhere I go on holiday. I stopped taking the malaria tablets after a few days and bthety were a waste of Money (£50).

Safe Travels
翻译：大家好，我刚从桑给巴尔的两周旅行回来，想写一篇简短的评论，希望能给那些想去桑给巴尔的人一些建议。
出租车很多，不同司机的价格都很相似，但你可以和他们稍微讨价还价，比如从石头城到南威是 50 美元，但我只花了 40 美元。你可以在出发前几周通过 WhatsApp 预订出租车，最好还是找同一个司机，因为如果你在一日游和环岛旅行时使用他们的服务，他们会给你很好的价格。我找了一个叫 Eddy 的人，他很可靠，也很友好 (+255 716228827)
首先，我在桑给巴尔度过了一段美好的时光，我住过三个不同的地区，南部的 Makanduchi 和 Kizmikazi 以及北部的南威。岛屿的南部与北部截然不同，南部更加安静，游客也更少，因此，如果您正在寻找真正的休闲与放松，我建议您前往南部，那里的海滩很干净，海滩上通常只有几个人卖东西（我称他们为小贩），他们通常很放松，面带微笑，尊重您的空间，说一声“不，谢谢”就足以让您独处。
在 Makanduchi，除了放松、晒日光浴、坐在泳池边、在海滩上散步、在酒店酒吧喝一杯等，几乎没有什么可做的。那里的酒店或餐厅很少，而且餐厅都设在酒店里，带上几本书，放松一下
Kizimikazi 位于岛屿的另一边，是一个美丽的海滩，有迷人的日落，一个很棒的小渔村，还有更多的酒店、度假村和餐厅，显然游客越多。沿街还有几个卖家，主要是年轻的马赛人，但他们面带微笑，态度友好，稍显执着，但没有威胁性。
南威是您的主要旅游胜地，而且开发程度更高，有数百种住宿、餐馆和酒吧可供选择，Bech 和离海滩稍远的内陆地区都有。海滩仍然很干净，日落仍然很美，但那里有很多小贩在卖 T 恤、手镯、雕刻饰品，基本上什么都有。我通常不会从海滩人那里买东西，不过这次我为我的家人买了一些小饰品，别误会，我不是说这样做有什么问题，我只是不是一个购物狂。他们同样很友好，面带微笑，他们没有威胁性，但他们更加执着，会陪你沿着海滩散步，和你谈论桑给巴尔和南威，但实际上他们只是想做一笔生意。不过，我确实很喜欢这里的餐厅和酒吧，因为地方越多，竞争就越激烈，也就意味着质量更好。
桑给巴尔的度假村和房间并不便宜，我认为与我去过的其他海滩度假胜地（如泰国和果阿等）相比，它们的价格过高，房间总是干净整洁，但对于任何像样的度假村来说，住宿加早餐的价格约为每晚 80-120 英镑，全包的价格则要高得多！南威一些由大型酒店公司拥有的高端度假村的住宿加早餐价格高达每人每晚 250 英镑，在我看来，这根本不值得。一杯 GnT 的价格为 8 美元，一个汉堡包的价格为 10-12 美元，一顿包括饮料的美餐大约为 35-65 美元，与欧洲价格相同。
租一辆轻便摩托车或汽车很容易，几乎每家酒店和度假村都可以为你安排，我租了一辆轻便摩托车，平均每天 20 美元，酒店还会帮你办理坦桑尼亚驾照，我想大约 15 美元，只是一张纸，上面写着你的其他驾照详细信息和护照上的一些详细信息，感觉就像政府的另一项小旅游税！
报警！！！
桑给巴尔的警察很狡猾，很烦人，他们每隔几英里就站在路边，无缘无故地拦下行人，包括游客、出租车司机和车上或车内的任何人。酒店经理告诉我要随身携带驾照，并告诉我随身携带一些小额纸币，比如 2000 或 3000 坦桑尼亚先令（约合 1 英镑），但第一次他们拦我时，我没有机会兑换任何钱，就花了我 20,000 坦桑尼亚先令，约合 7 英镑，虽然不是很多钱，但当你知道他们只是把钱中饱私囊时，这真是太烦人了！如果他们拦你时，你表现出紧张或不确定，他们似乎会更加咄咄逼人。在第二次和第三次他们拦我时，我熟练多了，坚定地说 JAMBO（你好），向他们展示我的自信，把我的驾照递给他们，没有拿他们的废话。他们甚至会试图告诉你，你并没有表明态度，但他们只是在试探。酒店经理告诉我，他们只是想赚午餐钱，但如果他们从每个人身上捞到 3000 美元，那么他们就成功了！
简而言之，要保持警惕，桑给巴尔是一个非常贫穷的国家，当你离开度假村时，随处可见这种现象，但总体来说，这里非常安全，我在那里时没有看到或听到任何犯罪事件，而且人们总体上都很友好。
最后一件事，UK.Gov 网站显示桑给巴尔的疟疾风险很高，我购买了抗疟药片、大量驱蚊剂、防蚊膏等，在那里的整个时间里，我只被咬过三次。我度假时通常会被咬死。几天后，我停止服用抗疟药片，但这些药片都是在浪费钱（50 英镑）。
