It's recommended to book with a responsible tour operator, ensure that all safety measures are taken, and check the weather as these activities are best done during the dry season.

While Zanzibar is famous for its beaches and historical sites, it's not a safari destination. However, you can combine a trip to Zanzibar with a safari on the Tanzanian mainland. The majority of tourists go on a tour package that includes a safari in Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, or Selous Game Reserve, and then a beach holiday in Zanzibar.
Zanzibar is overall a safe place to visit. Nevertheless, like any travel, it's necessary to use common sense, particularly in crowded places such as Stone Town. Watch your belongings, don't walk alone at night in unknown areas, and use official taxis or guides. These easy precautions will guarantee a smooth and pleasant journey to Zanzibar.
The best time to visit Zanzibar is during the dry periods, between June and October, and between December and February. These are the best months as far as the weather is concerned, with very little rain and favorable temperatures, thus making it ideal for outdoor activities such as diving, snorkeling, and sunbathing on the beaches. If you plan to undertake a safari or skydiving tour, these months also provide clear skies and best conditions.
The official currency is the Tanzanian Shilling (TZS). That said, US dollars are widely accepted at most places. It is a good practice to carry some local currency for smaller purchases.
