Is Zanzibar Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I have traveled to over 25 countries .. and loved many of them, but Zanzibar is a very special place for me 🥰 I am actually going back for a few more months in a few days.. anyone else who’s travelled here? Or about to travel to this amazing island?

The waters are gorgeous in Zanzibar! The people are nice, the town is beautiful, the culture is rich and the sunsets are out of this world! I enjoyed it so much, nakupenda island will forever be in my heart. Don’t forget your sunscreen!

I enjoyed my time a lot. I never seen more friendly and happy people. Everyone is super welcoming and curious. Many shops did try to give higher price due to me being an obvious turist. Food comes in massive portions, taste pretty good, but i would avoid meat as it tastes different.

Family travel

It was nice. I was at the Tanzania safari too, and it was good as well—I enjoyed it so much. I would recommend Zanzibar and Tanzania; it's worth the money and not too expensive, except for the tickets and the safari.

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.

Solo travel

I went to Zanzibar by myself and it is one of the few places where I felt that I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't there alone. It wasn't dangerous, at least I didn't feel threatened at all, and everyone was very nice, but maybe too nice. I like to walk around alone, immersed in my thoughts and in silence and peace, I don't mind occasional street vendors, etc., but there was too much of that, people would stop me asking if I want to use a tour guide, if I refused, they would insist and...

I was alone in Nungwi for a week. I really liked it and felt safe, but I didn't go out much in the evening. Maasai and tour guides were bothering me on the beach, but after a few days, when I said no, they stopped asking me to buy things. One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen.

I spent 3 weeks on a solo trip to Zanzibar and was thrilled with it. I felt absolutely safe, but unfortunately, interactions with locals were a bit overwhelming. The inhabitants have good intentions, but they are certainly very persistent in establishing social contacts or selling things. When I felt very uncomfortable, I would pretend to answer a phone call or that I was running late and needed to continue on my way.

Group travel

It was an amazing experience. People are very friendly, but you also get a lot of attention as a woman. Especially from men, but we just politely said no and kept walking. The food was great, and very cheap in the local restaurants. The weather was very nice and very warm, and it is overall a very nice place.

A very lovley Place with lovley and helpful people. They are fine and want to help whenever they can. Of course there is a lot of men outthere who gonna help u because they like u. They try to flirt fast and doing that in a stubborn way.
