How safe is Zanzibar City?
I’ve felt very safe here as have many of my friends who have travelled or lived here previously. There are some issues with overly forward men, but ultimately they take no for an answer which is better than what I can say about North America.

Felt so safe Weather was fantastic in December People were sooo nice Food was over the top 🔝 Easy to get around Can be fairly cheap or really expensive, depending on what you like to do I stayed in Jambiani & Stone Town Getting around is easy, private drivers are suggested

About Me
I am a 26 year old international development and climate action practitioner in Zanzibar until the end of April. Like your dream boyfriend, I love long walks on the beach, exploring this beautiful island, and trying everything. My main hobbies (at least in Canada) involve live music, yoga, and reading. I got a Kindle right before leaving and it’s become my best friend. I’m a yes woman and am excited to meet other people here!
