When in Zanzibar

- Please remember and respect that Zanzibar is a Muslim society. Don't walk around Stome Town or other towns and villages dressed in bikinis, miskirts or slimilar clothing. Women should cover their shoulders and wear trousers or skirts that reach below the knee. Men should not go shirtless. Dont go topless on the beaches! Bikinis and swimweare are acceptable on tourist beaches, but not if there are fisherman or seaweed harvesters nearby.

- Although alcohol is freely available, drunken behaviour is considered offensive.

- Ask permission before taking pictures of people or private houses.

- Be careful walking on beaches late night or early in the morning, dont carry valuables or walk alone.

- Don't accept tours or transport from inlicensed 'beach boys' in Shangani Street - their services are illegal and unreliable. Only use reputable tour agencies or official government guides.

- Enjoy your time in Tanzania!
