"You won’t find elephants snuffling round the vineyards, but you will find inexpensive tasting tours followed by lazy lunches serving world-class food alongside delicious local wines. If you care to stretch your wallet a little further when staying the night you can sleep it all off in high-end guesthouses and B&Bs that would cost a lot more elsewhere." [src.]

"In Stone Town, stroll the ancient alleyways and enjoy magical sunsets before taking advantage of the cheap eats at the evening food market or its multicultural cafes. You’ll delight in how much freshly grilled fare you can eat for so little. On the island’s north and west coasts you can sample beach-side accommodation of all kinds at a price that will seem scarcely credible if you’ve tried to do the same in the Caribbean or Pacific Islands."
