deposit money for Zanzibar accommodation
Posted: Thu December 11, 2008 03:52 AM UTC

Hi everyone,

I am looking at booking accommodation in Zanzibar and I have been asked for up to 50% deposit, in cash!, when requesting a booking.

Is this common practice in Zanzibar and if so, has anyone had issues with this practice? I really don't feel comfortable doing this, but also don't want to turn up without any accommodation pre-booked.

Any information would be appreciated.

My daughter visited Zanzibar in May 2008, whilst she had a fantastic time and wants to return, she does not recommend paying 50% cash deposits. They pre paid for diving when there and when arrived for trip it did not exist........so please be careful
