Zanzibar's cuisine reflects its diverse cultural heritage. Swahili influences bring fragrant rice dishes and fresh seafood, while Arabic and Indian flavours infuse local favourites such as biryani and chapati. The island’s spices are a hallmark, lending rich aromas to many dishes, including the famed Zanzibar pizza. For an authentic experience, visit a local food market to sample fresh coconut and tropical fruits.

Zanzibar uses the Tanzanian shilling (TZS) as currency. The ideal time to visit is from June to October when the weather is cooler and dry.
