Zanzibar Island Travel Forum

Am coming with wife and nine and half month daughter (makes a difference you know, each month! :-) ) to Zanzibar - aiming for 10th June to 20th June...

Suggestions please?

baby friendly hotels, rates, car hire if possible / required? things to do in these many days... not only stone town please... I love snorkeling and would not even mind a diving course, unless it is far far more expensive than Thailand, where I will be going later this year...

Anyways, any suggestions welcome! Specially from people living there! :-)

Asante sana!

I have a car hire place on my Zanibar Island and Town pages (same guy). You can email him....

I would recommend going to north coast Nungwi. The beaches are absolutely beautiful and about mid-morning the tide goes out several hundred yards. You can walk out and find all kinds of shells, starfish and critters and watch the locals catching octopus, crab and various shellfish. There is also a natural cove where they have a captive breeding program to release turtles back into the ocean, it only costs like $5 bucks to get in.
