Zanzibar is currently one of the most popular tourist destinations in Africa. You can rest here almost all year round, and the beaches are of exceptional beauty, and also in terms of cost Zanzibar is an attractive destination. When booking, however, it is worth checking what on-site fees tourists must expect.

Is there a tourist tax on Zanzibar?

Zanzibar is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, which is part of Tanzania. Tourism is a very important segment of the local economy, but there is no denying that the large number of foreign visitors has a negative impact on local wildlife and can threaten cultural heritage. At least in part, this problem in many countries is solved by a tourist tax.

For various tourist attractions, prices in Tanzania have a tax of several percent added – this applies, for example, to tickets to national parks or safari expeditions.

How much is the tourist tax in Zanzibar?

When it comes to accommodation, prices in Zanzibar are increased by a special tourist tax of $5 per night. The tax is added to the hotel bill at check-out, so it is better to make sure in advance whether the quoted price per night already includes such a fee or is yet to be charged. Tourist tax applies to any form of accommodation in Zanzibar, that is, including hostels, bungalows or vacation beach houses. Another fee charged to tourists is the departure tax collected at the airport upon departure – it is about $25-30.
