Get Ready to Soak Up the Zanzibar Sun – Safely!
(10 months ago)

Your escape to the sun-drenched beaches of Zanzibar is just around the corner, and we at Tazama Africa Safaris are just as excited as you are for you to experience the paradise that awaits. Before you dip your toes into the warm sands and azure waters, we've compiled some sun safety tips to ensure you enjoy Zanzibar's tropical bliss to the fullest.
Sun Safety Tips for Your Beach Getaway:
- Sunscreen Is Your Friend: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Reapply every two hours, or after swimming or sweating, to protect your skin from the sun's rays.
- Stay Hydrated: Keep a bottle of water by your side and take regular sips throughout the day—hydration is key in the tropical heat.
- Seek Shade: Between the peak sun hours of 10 am and 4 pm, take breaks under a beach umbrella or a palm tree to give your skin a rest.
- Wear Protective Gear: A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses with UV protection, and a lightweight cover-up can be stylish as well as practical for sun protection.
- After-Sun Care: After a day under the sun, soothe your skin with aloe vera or a moisturizer to keep it hydrated and happy.
Remember, the sun in Zanzibar can be stronger than what you're used to at home, so taking these precautions can help you avoid sunburn and make your beach experience thoroughly enjoyable.
