We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Tanzania can combine easily with other East African countries.

For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country:

I really dont think that this Serena lives up to its reputation, and I think that there are much nicer places to stay in Stone Town. The hotel is right on the waterfont with an outlook on to the port so it can be noisy and smells at times. However, rooms are large and the staff are good and polite. There is also a pool on site.

The Serena has a lovely location on the water in Stone Town and nice pool and terrace. However, it's a luxury hotel that could really be anywhere in the world, personally I prefer small boutiquey type Zanzibari hotels with a more personal service, but if you want a big, modern hotel then Serena's OK.
