Online Scams in Zanzibar

Fake Zanzibar Package Tour Websites

Fraudulent travel sites and Instagram accounts advertise Zanzibar spice tour packages, snorkeling day trips, and Stone Town cultural tours, collecting deposits or full payment via PayPal or bank transfer before going silent. The sites use real photographs of Zanzibar attractions and mimic legitimate operator branding. Some clone the names of established local operators such as One Ocean or Zanzibar Diving. Losses typically range from $50–$300 per person.
