Frequently Asked Questions

The best time to visit Zanzibar is during the dry seasons: June to October (long dry season) and December to February (short dry season). These months offer calm seas, ideal conditions for snorkelling and boat trips, and warm sunny weather. Avoid the long rains in April–May and short rains in November.
Most nationalities require a visa to enter Tanzania (which includes Zanzibar). Many travellers can obtain a visa on arrival at Zanzibar's Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) for approximately $50 USD. We recommend checking your country's specific requirements and applying in advance where possible. Your Destinationz consultant will advise you during the booking process.
The official currency is the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS), but US Dollars are widely accepted across Zanzibar, especially for tourist services, hotels, and tours. All Destinationz packages and tours are priced in USD. We recommend carrying a mix of USD cash and a card for ATM withdrawals.
Our Zanzibar packages include accommodation (with daily breakfast), private airport transfers, all listed tours and excursions, entry fees, and local guide fees.
