Bodyguards and Executive Protection in Zanzibar, Tanzania
,
Zanzibar needs local knowledge. The narrow, crowded lanes of Stone Town make pickpocketing and bag snatching easy. Roads out to the beach resorts can be poorly lit at night. Boat trips and ferry transfers need checking before you book, so plans should be made by people who know the island.

Threat picture
Zanzibar at the moderate risk band
Zanzibar is calm for most visitors, but the risk is not zero. People who look wealthy can draw the attention of thieves. Advanced hospital care on the island is limited, so a medical plan matters. From the moment you confirm, we plan your routes, hotels and venues with vetted local partners and keep the plan updated for as long as we protect you.
Our risk briefings draw on public information, what we learned on earlier jobs in the area, and regular contact with trusted local partners. If the risk changes while we protect you, the team is told straight away.
