Carnival Street Parade<\/p><\/div>\n

What better way to end your Kilimanjaro trek<\/a> or Tanzania safari<\/a> than with “the friendliest festival in the world<\/strong>?”<\/p>\n

The Zanzibar Music Festival (Sauti za Busara)<\/a> is February 8-12, 2012<\/strong> with live music, dancing, and parades right on the magnificent Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n

Opening the festival will be the island’s largest Carnival Street Parade<\/strong> with beni brass band, ngoma drummers, mwanandege umbrella women, stilt-walkers, capoeira dancers, and acrobats.<\/p>\n

Enjoying the music<\/p><\/div>\n

Inside the historic Old Fort<\/strong> and cultural center, music groups from all around Africa perform daily from 5pm til 1am.<\/p>\n

Sauti za Busara means “sounds of wisdom.”\u00a0 This festival is not just African drumming or raggae music.\u00a0 It is wide range of traditional and contemporary music from East Africa — over 400 musicians<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Hotels in Stone Town do fill up<\/strong> during the festival, so you will want to book as early as possible.<\/p>\n

Wide variety of music<\/p><\/div>\n

You can get tickets for $26\/day or $86 for the entire festival.\u00a0 However we recommend getting VIP tickets, so you can have a seat (you can still stand too, but it is nice to have the option).\u00a0 The VIP tickets<\/strong> are $40\/day or $132 for the entire festival (best deal).\u00a0 Tickets can be purchased online here: http:\/\/zanzibar-islands.com\/twpub\/checkina.cgi?cdo=001AZB361INQDYAX&dtd=08\/02\/2012&dta=09\/02\/2012<\/a><\/p>\n

There are daily flights<\/strong> from the Kilimanjaro Airport on Precision Air and flights from the Arusha Airport on ZanAir and Fly540.<\/p>\n
