🌴 Zanzibar 4D3N Ultimate Guide

✈️ Trip Route & Costs Guangzhou → Zanzibar direct flight: ¥3877 E-Visa: $60 Mandatory Insurance: $44 Airport Taxi: $55 (*Pro tip: Pre-book drivers online—others paid just $40/car!*) 🗺️ Itinerary: Split between Nungwi Beach (first 2 days) and Paje Beach (last 2 days). 🌞 Day 1: Chill Mode Activated Private beach hotel vibes (though neighbors’ all-inclusive resort was cleaner sigh). Sunset views + lazy photo ops. 📸 🐬 Day 2: Ocean Adventures Morning: Dolphin chase 🐬 Afternoon: Sunset dhow cruise ⛵ Total for 4 pax: $90 (after haggling!). 🏝️ Day 3: Turtles & The Rock 11 AM: Salaam Cave Aquarium (feed turtles under perfect sunlight—30 mins max!). Lunch at The Rock Restaurant 🪨 (time it for high tide—epic views!). 🌿 Day 4: Spices & Souvenirs Spice Farm Tour: 1-hour sensory blast (cinnamon, vanilla, cloves… yum!). Stone Town: Stock up on souvenirs (bargain hard!). 🚗 Day 5: Fly Out (Could’ve left night before to save time!) 🍽️ Food Notes Lower expectations: African cuisine = simple but fresh. All-inclusive hotels = hassle-free meals. Self-catering FTW! Our African Paradise Beach Hotel had a kitchen + epic hospitality (welcome gifts, sandwiches for early flights!). 🏨 Accommodation First 2 nights: Sunset Bungalows Kendwa (breakfast included, but pricey dinners). Last 2 nights: The African Paradise Beach Hotel (cozy with dogs/cats! 🐕🐈). Downside: Beach less pristine than Nungwi, but sunrise views + solitude. 💡 Pro Tips Book hotels EARLY—budget gems sell out fast! Exchange shillings: Many places refuse USD + better rates! Pack snacks + reef-safe sunscreen. #Zanzibar #AfricaTravel #BudgetParadise #DolphinDays #SpiceIsland
