How Much Is Food In Zanzibar

On a tight budget, your trip to Zanzibar could cost you as little as $25 USD per day if you stay in a hostel or simple room/hut and eat at the most local of restaurants and food stalls.

Biryani, with origins in the Middle East and parts of India, is also one of the most famous dishes to eat in Zanzibar. The rice is cooked in a variety of spices, and then paired together with a meat or fish curry, that always accompanies the rice.

The village, like most of Zanzibar, is conservative and all local females have their arms and legs covered while outside. Most females, including young girls, also have their hair covered.

The place we chose to stay at is the Promised Land Lodge, located on the very southern tip of Zanzibar. Beautiful setting on the wild coast, large jungle bungalows on a cliff overlooking the shining water, great local food, hammocks, a beach bar, a nice swimming pool and the village of Kizimkazi only 20 minutes walk away.
