The people of Zanzibar are wonderful!! so I hate to complain about the country. However . . .Unfortunately, Zanzibar island is extremely unsanitary and there currently is an outbreak of monkey pox in Stone Town. The President of Tanzania has a video in the airports warning about the outbreak with symptoms, etc. and telling people who have it to isolate - they don't. We saw people swimming, walking on the beach, working in stalls, and just walking around and they are covered in monkey pox. It is extreme frightening and disturbing to see. When I reported this to Gate 1 and said they should not send travelers there, this was their response . . ."We understand your concerns about cleanliness, and while our experience and feedback from many other passengers have been positive, we acknowledge that individual impressions can vary. Zanzibar's Old Town, for instance, is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and while its historic character may not appeal to everyone, it remains a point of pride for the region."So looks like they're blaming me. I then checked their Better Business Bureau report and they are rated F so I guess we shouldn't be surprised.See for yourself - ourbreak has now reached Zanzibar.
