On 25/10 the flight leaves Amsterdam at 20:00 and lands in Zanzibar at 07:40 the next morning (€196). On 22/10 it leaves at 21:00 (€202). Only a cabin bag (55x40x20 cm) is included. The return is not sold on its own, so you will need to book it with another airline. Dutch citizens need an e-visa for Tanzania.
💰 How far does your money go?
A beer on an Amsterdam terrace costs about €6. In Zanzibar, a Zanzibar pizza at the Forodhani night market costs €2, a fresh sugarcane juice €0.50 and a Kilimanjaro beer in a local bar €2-3. The dala-dala, the local minibus, costs less than €1 to the beaches.
☀️ The Weather
Late October is the end of the dry season in Zanzibar. Expect sunny days of 30°C, nights around 23°C and a sea at 27°C. The short rains usually start in November.
