*A great Zanzibar experience is attending a local football (soccer) match. Zanzibaris are passionate football fans and the stadium is only 10 minutes from the center of Stone Town. For a real local experience, contact Ahmed, a local guide, at +255 652 339 780. He can arrange the tickets (very affordable), transportation, and will introduce you to his friends at the stadium. Highly recommended. -
