TANZANIA

We traded Kenya's savannah for the Indian Ocean and did Zanzibar the unusual way — a six-day road trip around the island, police stops included. From a secluded villa with a beach to ourselves, to Nungwi's sunset dhows, Jambiani's kitesurf lagoon, and snorkeling alone with a local fisherman, here's the loop we drove, what it really cost, why we skipped Stone Town, and the beach hustles to see coming. Full itinerary, real prices, honest verdicts.
