Be careful buying land in Zanzibar and Tanzania in general. The land usually very cheap but only dedicated for TZ citizens and not for foreigners. Foreigners can lease but also, they need to be careful with sellers and also terms and conditions. Even Tanzanian citizens it can be hard sometimes if one acquires citizenship from another country automatically loses the right to own land in Tanzania even if she/he was born in Tanzania with both parents Tanzanians.
Absolutely, thank you.
IN ZANZIBAR one can buy land, FUMBA TOWN, they is residential thing, my friend did
Perhaps it comes down to money! Isn’t there a finders fee $$$$ that must be paid to the person who finds you the property that you choose?
@@CaribbeanLife2023 you have to pay the family, the chief (it's cheap) and the lawyer. You can give the person that helped you something for their time, but I don't believe it's mandatory. You can also be clear from the beginning if you can or can't pay them for showing you around. Asante
This is very important info thank you so much
Wow, exactly what I have been looking for...
This strategy is pretty clever, for the local development :)
Wow zanzibar is beautiful part for leisure
Thank you , As a African American something has been calling be to Zanzibar

I am new subscriber here, i came through your comments on my channel. By the way nice video, and i like your accent, is it from UK?.. Makes sense cause why would u buy land close to the football ground, smart choice !!!! Seeing the video is 7 months old, i hope u managed to buy/lease the land of your dreams in Zanzibar!! Honestly that guy was so immature really, I like how you calmly replied and went your way!!!!
Asante sana Amani, Karibu. Yes I am from the UK.🤣
Hi Fiona, do you know how much you have to invest, buying a plot of land, to get the residency? And, how is the mosquito, snakes … situation? I heard that there are almost no Malaria cases anymore and snakes are usually not seen around.
I am traveling with three little kids, so their safety is my priority.
Does the sky always look like this? Is it natural?
Thank you so much 🙏
Asante sana mgeni karibu Sana nyumbani 🤗🤗🤗🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿

Asante Sana. Yes, I will add this to my list of vlogs to do.

Thank you Lashane 🤸🏿
Where is this place. And did you end up buying one? We sell ours for much cheaper than the price mentioned there but it is in the south of Zanzibar.
U really right I bought land to
That's awesome. Have you started building yet?
Good channel, but I can't go back in time. I will stay put. I been through the struggle I can't go back.
Why do you wanna lease a land you gonna build on? I think it's a good idea to consider going to a place where you can actually buy and own the land. If leasing is the only available option, then you might want to consider lease to buy/own with the right of first refusal clause. This will give you an opportunity to buy the land in the future after you become a citizen of the country. Pls do not sign anything until you have a good attorney.
@@hassshoban8206 Is the law the same for the citizens of the country, or does it only apply to non native born residents? Why not challenge the law in court? Such law is a common law jurisdiction inherited from the British colonial system. If the law is not biding on the citizens of the country, you should be able to present your DNA evidence as a proof that you are a descendant of the native of the land, and have it waved so you can own the land and be able to pass it to your offsprings in the future; after all, your offsprings shall be born in the country and they shall be citizens there. More so, the land is an immovable. property.
Even in Kenya, We have two types of land ; leasehold and freehold. Leasehold in Kenya is 99years and can be taken from you /your descendants once the lease expires. That's what's happening now with lands acquired by Indians and whites who settled here in colonial times. Instead of having the lease renewed, some corrupt people who are highly connected are terminating the leases and reallocating the properties to themselves. Very sad.
Miss Zanzi. May be back in a few months.
Karibu kaka. Thanks for watching
@@fionaslife Lol still going through your vids at the moment dada. Dig the experience. Should reason some time.. Asante.
Ready to visit Zanzibar next & great information & Subscribed. Could you give us the average cost in TSh or usd per square meter or acre?
Habari, there is no average cost as the locals own different parts of the land and every location is different.
👋 I just discovered your video. Thank you 😊.
Ok I'm interested in buying land later when I reside however 1sta looking for a agent that will not take advantage of people. Do you have or know a great ones?
Oh did reach out to one and I wasn't able to connect with them due to the website stating our location 🙃 .that doesn't make sense. You assistance will be greatly appreciated 🙂
I didn't and don't have an agent. When I started asking around people said to find someone that you connect well with and they will communicate with people in the community who are selling land. I started speaking to local people (who already own businesses locally) and ended up visiting a lot of available plots. If you decide on a plot, you need to find a lawyer and then arrange to speak to the chief of that area. None of this requires any money. I would highly suggest you visit the country that you're interested in so you can do the leg work. Thanks for watching
@@fionaslife ok. Thank 😊you so much
You find land ministry or local land office
Thank if I’m holding East African passport can I own land in Zanzibar? Or it’s still same process
I will be going soon again
Nice, before rainy season kicks in.
I appreciate this video as I’m interested in purchasing land in Tanzania next year. Would you please give an idea of the prices for the plots you viewed. This would be a big help! 🙏🏽
Hey Roslyn thanks for watching. So the plots I looked at ranged from 45 million 70 million Tanzanian shilling. The location and size will affect the price. Closer to the ocean will be higher.
@@fionaslife Thanks!!
@@fionaslife what is the size for price Mentioned aka sqm
can u do some farming on the premisses
@@tyronherman4963 Once you lease the land or own it as an LLC you can do whatever you want.
Miss Fiona,
Please be careful.
I will. Thank you for looking out🥰
Care full I'm Zanzibarian.i know well
Asante Kojjfa. I will.
Do thorough research, have a plan and analyze all your risks before investing in land in Tanzania. Buying land whether in mainland or Zanzibar is not easy unless you're a citizen. For all foreigner buying land is only legal via a business or as an investor and it will cost you money and alot of time, not forgetting dealing with immigration. Zanzibar is 100x harder with limited choices at high cost. Special economic zones like Fumba Town allow you to own property but you still need to deal with immigration. Again do thorough research...best wishes...
I though that a foreigner can not buy/lease a plot of land on his personal name. Only by starting a business and buying it in name of this business. Then still when you invest more than 500.000 dollars (you have to buy it via TIC) - or you have a local partner that has 51% of the shares. Am I so wrong??
You are spot on I learnt the hard way And TZ land law is different from ZB
Hey just subscribed❤️
Asante Sana 🌻
I heard them sayings that is grave area so be careful
Asante Sana
Have you considered buying in Fumbatown.
Hi, no I haven't as I only recently heard about it. But when I go back to znz in a few weeks, I will drive over and take a look. Asante Sana Watson
How can united states citizens / foreign nationals purchase land in Zanzibar village?
Greetings, if you're not Zanzibaris you cannot purchase land. But you can lease the land.
How long are the land lease options please
From my understanding, it depends on what you want the land for. You can lease from 1 year to up to 99 years.
Fiona, how can I lease land in Zanzibar?
Jambo, identify the land you're interested in, communicate with the owner and chief, and get a local lawyer to assist you with the process.
My country ❤❤🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿 but Iam living in Sweden🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Mambo Rosemary. You're country is beautiful. I'm very grateful to see this beauty. Asante Sana 🌞
@@fionaslife Powa sis!!! Oooh Yeah!!Tanzania is a nice country 🤗🤗😍
I thought foreigner cannot buy land in Tanzania
Hi, correct and mentioned this in the vlog. You can lease the land and build on top of it.
Be careful girl. Don't fall into scammers.
Mambo Lilian. I absolutely will. Asante
Do they have a military?
Yes they do, but I'm not sure where they're located on the island
@Fiona's Life Just want to know if they can defend their people / country. Thank you,
@@russell311000 when I was in Nungwi, I saw the military training in the street (running by the side of the road) in mainland, there is a big military base. Asante Sana

Thank you for the advice
Zanzibar will be wiped out by a tsunami
This is very harmful language and carelessness to state, because you are calling for the deaths of many innocent people and children
If you know something that the rest of us don’t have you altered the right authorities or you are just waiting for the news to hit ?
@alawoye how am I calling for a tsunami? Do I have control over tsunamis? No.
1. It's dangerous to state I'm calling for anything when I didn't making you a liar and me the accused. 2. I didn't call for anything y'all are calling for it because your sins and God is answering. If Zanzibar repents and all the world for that matter God wouldn't wipe us out.
I had a dream about it and you're calling for the death of many people because you're trying to silence me when you should be warning people.
