What people say

Laura Bornstein
"Mnemba island is a tiny island near Nungwi. While you can't go on the island it's self because it's a private island (there is a resort on the island that costs a minimum of 1500$ per night) the surrounding area has coral reefs that have been declared a marine conservation area and are accessible to the public. Mnemba is a great place to enjoy the beautiful turquoise water, go snorkeling or scuba diving in the gorgeous and colorful coral reefs, and, if you're lucky, spot sea turtles or dolphins. Here you can find approximately 600 species if coral reefs, whale sharks, humpback whales (from July to September) and the threatened green sea turtles. The turtles can be seen laying their eggs on the beaches between February and September. Book a visit to Mnemba Island in the link below!"

This travel guide to Zanzibar (also known as Unguja Island) is the result of my experience as a solo female traveler in this part of Tanzania and dozens of hours of research. I have included activities and day trips ranging from historical, architectural and cultural sites, as well as other activities such as diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, cave exploring, visits to lush, green forests, and safaris that you can do from Zanzibar. I have also included specific information on Zanzibar's most beautiful and tourist-friendly coastal areas (Nungwi, Jambiani, Paje, Kiwengwa, Pongwe and Bwejuu), such as: what activities are best suited to each area, as well as different accomodation and eating out options in each beach destination. Most importantly, I have included valuable information on travel safety, visas, entry requirements, local currency and how to get around Zanzibar Island. This way, you don't have to be too bothered by the logistics and more boring aspects of travel planing. I've got you covered! This guide is divided into sections so you can read the entire guide or go to the sections that interest you the most. It also includes an interactive map and it's mobile friendly, so you can access all the info you need on your phone. And, most importantly, this is a living guide, so I will update this at no extra cost to you. Happy travels!
