Backpacking Zanzibar : hidden gems on a budget | Tanzania travel vlog [2024]

Backpacking Africa from Cairo to Cape Town #17
Is it still possible to escape the crowds and find hidden gems in Zanzibar ? We weren't sure so we decided to see for ourselves !
Starting in Stone Town, we got to Jambiani for a couple of days. There we rented a scooter for 3 days, exploring the south of the island. Mtende Beach and a secret vacation for donation place. Mohamed then showed us around ZALA Park and we finished our trip in Michamvi.

One of the best Zanzibar videos I have ever seen. Coming from a Zanzibari who watches a lot of Zanzibar videos because she misses home. Loved how you interacted with my people especially playing with the kids 🥹

As my dream is to one day visit Tanzania, I want to say this is one of the best I've seen. Your material is original and what I call down to earth. I personally would have purchased some of that soap too. but seeing these happy kids, is one of the highlights that i love to see! BE blessed in your travels with much laughter, insight and experience!
