Travel to Zanzibar
« on: December 27, 2022, 10:55:40 PM »
Hey,

I'm looking to travel to Zanzibar island off Tanzania in east Africa. I'm looking into flights options and want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Anyone ever been there before?

This conversation is a bit strange. Look at the route you need, and see who flies it. Then you can research specific airlines.

In any case, I've flown Ethiopian, Kenya Airways, Precision, Flightlink, private charters... they're all good.

If you're still worried about the airlines, there's a ferry.

i have looked at the route and checked the options. i then did research on the airlines, and there was no good things about them. but i was sure other people did this route and knew more....
