Zanzibar will be a good option for a trip in February, because from December to March there is very good weather, it is dry, sunny, and temperatures in these months exceed 30 degrees. Generally, there are two rainy seasons in this country, the first from March to mid-May and the second from October to November, so it's worth remembering when planning a trip there.

I can give you some tips that will help you prepare for your trip. You need a tourist visa to enter the country. The cost is about $50 and most importantly: you can easily and quickly buy it at the airport. As for the currency, it is best to take dollars with you. ATM cards do not always and everywhere work there. Another important information is that Zanzibar has left-hand traffic and a special driving license is required and I strongly advise against trying to travel without it, because police checks are very frequent there. However, they can be easily made, the cost is about $ 10 and the waiting time is about 24 hours. I personally recommend using local buses, which are very cheap and allow you to travel easily.

Now for some useful information once you get there. Be sure to take something for mosquitoes, unfortunately in the evenings they bite mercilessly. It is worth remembering that the majority of the local population are Muslims, so you should be clothed when moving outside the beach. Don't sunbathe topless on the beach. The internet on the island is very weak, both the pre-paid one on the phone and the Wi-Fi in the hotel. Be sure to get an appropriate adapter for contact, because the sockets are completely different from those in Poland.

When it comes to sightseeing, Zanzibar is a small but atmospheric island.

Its capital, Stone Town, is considered the most popular destination due to its easy access to many attractions. It has climatic streets, a very large number of shops and restaurants, and trips organized for tourists. In addition, it is famous for the best spices, for which merchants from all over the world come. You can visit interesting churches and the slave market. Overall, it is a lively place.

From the capital, you can go to Prison Island. It is a tiny island made entirely of coral. Its biggest attraction is a prison founded by Arab merchants, where rebellious slaves were supposed to be held. There you will also find aldabra turtles, which are easy to spot due to their large population.

Another unusual place is The Rock Pingwe restaurant established in 2010. It is built on a rock and is surrounded by water on all sides, making the view amazing. The cuisine served there is very good, but due to the character and specific place, the prices are very high.

The most famous spot on the island is Safari Blue, where you can admire the amazing coral reef. Trips to Spice Farm Island are equally popular. Here you will learn a lot about spices and exotic fruits that you will not see anywhere else. The next two places most often chosen by visitors are Nungwi and Jambiani. Unlike Stone Town, Jambiani and the surrounding area are quiet little villages stretching along the beach. It is very quiet there, there are no crowds of tourists and sellers, and the prices for accommodation are much lower. Nungwi, on the other hand, is a typical tourist place, known for its pleasant sunbathing and beautiful sunsets. There are plenty of hotels and restaurants, dances are organized on the beach in the evenings, and the biggest attraction is the possibility of swimming with water turtles in the Namara aquarium.

In my opinion, Zanzibar is a good option. You will rest, the weather is certain and you will have the opportunity to get to know many new flavors while admiring the beautiful views. And all this at a pleasant price. Have a great holiday!

Yes, it's worth going to Zanzibar in February! It's a perfect time to visit this exotic place because it's the dry season there. You can expect beautiful weather and warm climate. During your stay in Zanzibar, be sure to visit Stone Town, a historic city full of narrow streets and mysterious alleys. You can also take a trip to Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, where you'll see endemic species of plants and animals as well as famous red mangroves. If you want to prepare well for your trip, I recommend packing light, summer clothes, sunscreen, and mosquito repellent. It's also worth taking your passport, credit cards, and an international medical insurance card with you. My advice for you is also to try the local cuisine, taste fresh seafood and traditional curry dishes. Don't forget to purchase travel insurance and plan guided tours to truly experience the charms of Zanzibar.
