Tourists complaining about tourists? Make it make sense please!
You are the tourist though 😂
Im from a tourist island as well, and if you think tourists are anoying for tourists, imagine how it is for the people living there.
thank god one less tourist off our island
A tourist complaining abt it being too touristy? Oh the hypocrisy. Did you think that you were the ONLY person in the world that would want to visit?
Pls, zanzibar is safe plp coming to you doesn't mean its dangerous, in swahili culture we talk to each other even if they don't know you.
Typical mentality. It's okay for me to do it but I'm annoyed by others doing it. Me me me!
I will be visiting in three weeks. I can’t wait to experience it
Don't come back
I am w lone traveller and visited Tanzania 🇹🇿 8 times 5 times Zanzibar in 11 years. Yes, there are vendors on the beach trying to sell things , but they are not aggressive. They ask usually the same thing ; they greet you, they ask where your are from, how many people in your group and if you were interested in what they are selling. So if you don't answer, they don't follow you, some say , have a nice day. If you answer their questions and say you are not interested in what they are selling, they leave you alone . I usually smile and say, SINA PESA- I don't have money and keep walking. Worse are the men at the ferry who want to take your luggage and charge you $10 for walking out if the airport which is just 30-50 meters. They are aggressive and fight amongst themselves . Same is at the bus stations. When you come with this knowledge, you won't be surprised and act accordingly. I have never felt threatened or harassed. I will be back to explore the southern part of the island. 🏝️.
"Zanzibar is beautiful, beaches are incredible, food is delicious, vibes are great and palm trees are very high and beautiful" And so... what's the complaint again? That it has gotten "extremely touristy"? What does that even supposed to mean - unless you're a local? And to say "it's not the best place for women traveling alone because if you wanna go for a walk at the beach and mind your own business without attracting any attention, it's basically Mission Impossible". Uhm, it's a beach...? Or are you trying to imply something else? Lol, why not step outside the gates of luxury & all in-inclusive and explore local life and culture, or just continue to Hawaii or Bali... because believe me, as locals, we don't need your "second chance". Thanks for visiting and good luck.
These comments make me happy! I can't wait to visit. :-)
I walked several time on the beach after sunset 7:30 in the evening, sunset at 6:15 in Nungwi and Jambiani alone and no one approached me , people know that you may not feel comfortable to be approached so everyone minds their own business. Some people take the beach to walk home after work . Some flash their phone light to acknowledge you. In Jambiani there is less almost no vendors and beaches are as beautiful as in Nungwi. So if the vendors are not your thing , Jambiani is a better option! After staying in nungwi I came to Jambiani for pure relaxant before going back home , the first glance on the beach without people I thought, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?! I almost wished the vendors were there . I filled my time with scuba diving, cave tubing, long walks on the beach with a new friend I met on the beach . 😊
Don't come back, we won't miss you.😅
I loved visiting Zanzibar and HIGHLY encourage and recommend visiting. While everyone is entitled to their point of view, this video and the clickbait title provides an inaccurate representation of reality. ZANZIBAR IS MAGICAL AND IS A FANTASTIC DESTINATION TO VISIT!!!🏝️
How can you bad review a whole island? While at the same time apear to be having a great time 😮
You didn’t convince me not to go but the comment section did.
Just came back and totally understand you
its your point of view, its so beautiful here, people are very friendly. when you're coming to Africa it has a different vibes compared to Europe and the Pacific. we both loved it here. but you are entitled to your opinion which is ok. if you're reading this, its great here in Zanzibar
She is right though. She didn't complain about tourists themselves, she complained about the island not being ready to host that many tourists. Either reduce the number of tourists, either improve the island's tourists handling.
