Zanzibar - Do not buy sim card at the airport. They will charge you 25 USD for 4.8GB of data on the Yas network. This data is worth 10000TZS (4 USD). On top of that they won't register the simcard in your name. The simcard is on some anonymous persons name. When u want to recharge, you need their PIN and it's a long story.

Rather buy a simcard from the street vendors. They have the price list with them. They won't rob you. Any forex place also sells. In Nungwe beach there is a simcard and exchange vendor right next to Che bar and Makofi restaurant. Go there instead, they open till late.

Ever wondered what the thrill factor is for the rides at gold reef city Gold Reef City theme park? A group of 8 of us ranging in age from 14 to 49 went to the theme park 29 june 2024. We surveyed the thrill rating from each participant and found the following statistics. Take note the deviation in some of the rides. My conclusion is that there is no one size fits all to what the most thrilling ride is. We all have different views and feeling for what thrills us. Some may be afraid of the heights, others the speed or stability of the ride.

You be the judge and visit the park for yourself and send us your scores....enjoy.

Hint, get to the park early or on weekdays, especially during school holidays. And dont start at the beginning (runaway train) because that was the longest queue in the morning. Head on down to the least thrilling ride first to find each ride build on excitement.
