Zanzibar out of electricity

The entire island of Zanzibar has been out of electricity since May 21, 2008. Although the authorities are working on repairing the electrical line from the mainland, it is not known how long the island will be out of electricity. Many hotels and restaurants have generators, so visitors' stays in Zanzibar are not too affected by the electricity outage. Duma Explorer recommends checking hotel electricity schedules before booking accommodations.
