How to get here✈️

International Flight to Addis Ababa, Istanbul, or Doha:

Unguja (the main island and usually referred to informally as Zanzibar) is located off the coast of the mainland of Tanzania. The most common travel route is to take an international flight to one of the major hub airports like Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (ADD), Istanbul Airport (IST), or Hamad International Airport (DOH) where you have a layover for a few hours before heading to Zanzibar.

Visa:

Many travelers to Tanzania, including Zanzibar, can get a visa on arrival at major entry points, such as airports and border crossings. This is applicable for various nationalities. The cost may vary depending on your nationality, and it’s usually payable in cash. The fee for a single-entry tourist visa for most nationalities is $50 USD and is valid for 90 days.
