Is there a catch? Well, 2027 is a few summers away, so you’ll have to be patient. Also, Zanzibar is part of Tanzania, which means you’ll need a visa on arrival—about $50, give or take. But honestly, that’s less hassle than trying to assemble IKEA furniture. You just show up, pay, and boom—you’re in paradise.
And sure, the island can get busy in peak season (December to February, July to August). But with direct flights making it easier, you’ll be able to go off-peak and have the place to yourself. Imagine that: a beach with just your towel, a good book, and the occasional crab shuffling past.
The Big Picture
This announcement is a huge win for everyone who hates airports. It’s also a win for Zanzibar, which will see a fresh wave of visitors eager to explore its history, food, and marine life. The local economy? Thrilled. Your Instagram feed? About to be obsessed with sunsets and spicy curries.

And let’s be real: TUI is absolutely gunning for the “best holiday provider” trophy here. They already fly to Cancun, Cape Verde, and the Maldives. Now they’re tackling Zanzibar like it’s a new level in a video game. I say: game on.
