Solo travel

How safe is this place for female solo travelers? I have been there four times and always loved and enjoyed it. It is a budget-friendly destination and a lot of fun. The best sunset and sunrise I’ve ever experienced in my life.

Zanzibar is beautiful and amazing. Don’t miss out on activities such as Swimming with horses and turtles. It’s safe to move around alone even at night. I moved around stone town, Paje and Nungwi. Nungwi has the best beaches.
