I am glad I got to see a bit of everyday life in Zanzibar! I especially enjoyed the witch doctor visit (her herbal stream actually did help my chronic headache). The home cooked lunch was nice too. Abdul the guide lives in the village and is super chill and answered all my questions.
Being some cash to donate/tip people in the village for their time. Only the doctor at the hospital was at all pushy about it (he was very pushy actually), no one else even asked. IMO as a foreigner visiting here we are in a position of privilege and should redistribute some of that privilege where we can, especially when people are taking the time to show us their life.
