Zanzibar holidays — FAQs
Do South Africans need a visa for Zanzibar?
Yes, but it's issued on arrival (around US$50, payable by card) or online in advance. We walk you through the current requirements before you fly.
Is Zanzibar malaria-free?
Zanzibar is low-risk but not malaria-free. We advise on current precautions and recommend chatting to a travel clinic — we'll include this in your pre-departure briefing.
When is the rainy season?
The long rains fall roughly April to May — many beach resorts close then. We sell Zanzibar for the dry seasons, when conditions are superb.
Can I add a safari to my Zanzibar trip?
Yes — Serengeti and Ngorongoro fly-in safaris combine beautifully. Ask for a bush-and-beach quote.
