Green travel is a broad term that focuses on two main pillars: responsible travel practices that prioritize environmental, social, and economic sustainability, and eco-tourism, which involves traveling responsibly specifically to natural and protected areas.
As we enjoy the beauty of the islands, it is our duty to protect them. Here are some essential eco-friendly travel tips to practice during your stay in Zanzibar:
🚫 Say No to Plastic
Plastic is one of the biggest threats to our oceans and marine life. Whenever possible, substitute plastic materials with reusable alternatives. Carrying a reusable water bottle is a great way to reduce waste on the planet.
🚿 Save Water
Water is a precious resource in Zanzibar. Try to take shorter showers and turn off the tap while lathering up, shampooing, or brushing your teeth. Every drop counts!
♻️ Return Maps and Brochures
Once you are finished with your maps, brochures, or other tourist information, return them to the information desk or your tour guide. This allows them to be reused by future travelers, reducing paper waste.
🚮 Leave No Trace
Bring along a small bag to pick up any trash you spot during your hikes or beach walks. You can even make it a friendly competition with your group to see who can collect the most waste—leaving Zanzibar cleaner than you found it.
🐘 Respect Wildlife
Never feed or touch wildlife for any reason. Feeding animals makes them reliant on humans and can lead to aggressive behavior. Protecting their natural habits ensures their safety and yours.
📱 Go Paperless
In this digital age, there’s no need to print tickets. Use electronic tickets on your phone for flights, ferries, and tours to save trees and reduce clutter.
🌿 Choose a Green Tour Company
If you book any activities, ensure you choose a tour operator committed to environmental sustainability. A green company works to reduce negative impacts and actively protects the local ecosystem.
