When it comes to travel, everyone has his\/her own way to do it. For some, it\u2019s all about the\u00a0camaraderie with friends, travel in large groups and the whole nine yards. For others, it\u2019s the\u00a0place and endless exploration, with not too much emphasis on the accommodation and\u00a0other things. The backpacker is a category of traveller who wants both- no fuss\u00a0accommodation, exploration and often, friendship.Zanzibar offers many options for the intrepid backpacker. You can choose to walk through\u00a0the country or hire a daladala, a kind of miniature lorry that seats about 18 people. It is not\u00a0expensive and can help you traverse the longer distances on the trip. There\u2019s a freedom in\u00a0the backpacker way of travel- you set the deadlines and the pace and you decide how much\u00a0you want to see each day.Most visitors to Zanzibar come to explore the World Heritage Site of Stone Town. This\u00a0Arabian town dates back to the seventeenth century. It has labyrinths and baths and offers a\u00a0lot of opportunities to spend time. As the sun slowly sets, you can make your way to the\u00a0famous night market of Zanzibar, and indulge in the local cuisine of the place. The market is\u00a0set up every night and it\u2019s a good way to get your fill without burning a hole in your pocket. It\u00a0takes place at the Forodhani Gardens so head there for all the action and food- from sweet\u00a0sugarcane juice to delicious kebabs and seafood, you\u2019ll find many things to indulge in there.<\/p>\n
Zanzibar is known for its splendid display of nature. When you\u2019re looking for Zanzibar\u00a0backpackers accommodation look for something that\u2019s on the beach or at close proximity\u00a0to it. For example, the award winning Drifters Backpackers is on Paje Beach, a very popular\u00a0spot for young people. You can swim, scuba dive or kite surf, depending on what you like.
