• 1

  Tipping in Tanzania is custom, not obligation: this dataset assumes roughly 10% in restaurants and 5% at hotels when no service charge is added — check the bill first, since many venues in Zanzibar already include service.

• 2

  Check official sources for Zanzibar visa, tax, or fee rules before relying on any computed figure (Tipping Calculator: Zanzibar) — travel rules change with little notice, and a calculator cannot know about a decision announced last week.

• 3

  Work in the local currency of Zanzibar and keep card fees as a separate line; converting every tipping price to your home currency with a rough rate distorts the comparison between options and hides their real differences.

• Forgetting hotels in the Zanzibar cash envelope: porters and housekeeping sit near 5% of the service cost in this dataset, yet most visitors budget only the 10% restaurant line. Cover both when sizing the daily money you carry.

• Exporting your home tipping habit to Zanzibar: the local custom this page encodes sits near 10% in restaurants and 5% at hotels, and under- or over-tipping both misread the room. Follow the local table, not the one you brought.
