Practical travel tips for Zanzibar — packing, permits, connectivity, tipping, and what first-time visitors wish they had known earlier.

  • Pack neutral colours and sturdy shoes; a light rain jacket lives in your daypack year-round.
  • Carry USD or EUR for visa and tipping; local shillings for small purchases — your guide advises on the day.
  • Photography: respect flash bans near primates; extra batteries and rain covers help in forest humidity.
  • Download offline maps and confirm roaming/SIM options before leaving your arrival city (Arusha, Dar es Salaam, or Zanzibar).
What should I pack for Zanzibar?

Neutral clothing, sturdy footwear, rain gear, and insect protection — trekking adds gardening-glove style gloves and gaiters.
