Tania - OverlandingAfrica.com17 Aug 2010: Hey Tish, As we are fully self reliant and carry all our kit with us, self catering accommodation is not something we have much info about. I can only recommend you check it out on the net and see what you find. Although we don't have the trucks on Zanzibar it is pretty cheap to eat out and save yourself the hassle of cooking and trying to find a shop (local markets with seasonal produce is the norm), so we stick to that option. Have fun!
Tish Marais12 Aug 2010: Please advise reasonable self catering options available in Zanzibar. We want to travel around the whole island and need to know what is avaliable in all areas. We are also open to any backbacker options as well. Many thansk, Tish
