Rob Forbes’ Zanzibar travel tips
Explore the historic Stone Town
Rob recommends keeping an eye out for what the beautiful Zanzibari doors in ‘the stone town’ have to offer while exploring.
He said in Stone Town, you can find a diverse selection of shops and stalls offering an array of art, textiles, coffee, and spices. The distinctive architecture, influenced by Swahili, Indian, Arab, and European styles, showcases the rich history of the island.
Culinary delights at Forodhani Night Market

From fresh seafood to Zanzibari Pizza while washing the meal down with freshly squeezed sugarcane and lime juice, creating an authentic Zanzibar dining experience.
Tranquil days in Kiwengwa
After spending some time in Stone Town, Rob said he visited the village of Kiwengwa on the island’s east coast and enjoyed the tranquillity of a one-bedroom apartment with a private pool surrounded by palm trees.
Crystal-clear Waters
The radio host said no trip to Zanzibar is complete without enjoying the island’s beautiful waters.
He said he embarked on a snorkelling adventure with The Safari Blue, sailing to the beautiful reefs south of the island on their own boat.
According to Rob, the crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life are some of Zanzibar’s aquatic treasures and a major tourist attraction for the island.”
