General questions

There are 2 ways: The public transport is called Dala-Dala. It departs right in front of the airport or the ferry. It is not more than 2 Dollar. They charge around 1.000 Schilling extra for a big backpack. Don’t use it in the dark (duration approx. 1.5 hours / sunset approx. 6.30pm)

Yes, we can. Our driver will charge 40$ for pick up’s from town (harbour / airport) which you pay directly. The people we work with have proper serviced cars, they all made their driver’s license for real (!) and they are very experienced, reliable and save driver.

There are plenty ATM’s in town and even one (very new and very temperamental) in Paje.

We have a big rainy season from April to May and a small one during October and November. The weather is very unpredictable. Sometimes it does only rain for 10 minutes, sometimes for half a day. You never know. It never is cold and it never rains for a couple of days in a row though.

Here and at the beach feel free to walk around however you want. We highly recommend to cover shoulders and knees on the road, in each village as well as in Stone town.

We had the idea to open the Island’s first backpacker. So we rented, applied, planned everything and found which you need for opening a business. This partner was a old friend called Teddy. Together we set up the first backpacker on Zanzibar and named it Kizingitini. After a while the name turned into Teddy as no one could remember Kizingitini. Unfortunately in 2014 this Teddy suddenly decided to run the business alone without us as a partner. As we set up everything, had the idea in the first place and of course loved this business like crazy, we decided to just open a NEW Teddy’s. And here we are.
