Thinking of Buying Land in Zanzibar??? Think Again!!! Nobody Warned Us About This!!! 🤯😭

[@NjonjoNdehi]

In any country of the world, if foreigners own too much land it's gonna cause problems.

[@faithBlondon]

Yes soo true, like in Jamaica foreigners own a lot of properties and hotels....they price out the locals and even restrict their access. A place has no soul without its locals

[@adi_murenzi11111]

In rwanda 🇷🇼 all is possible

[@AfriPrincess411]

I do think its important to protect locals

[@robertibeh]

Very good info. Where I live in the Cayman Islands, land is a free for all i.e. no restrictions on foreign ownership. It has ultimately resulted in a lot of locals (especially young people just starting their careers) being priced out of the market. If you're a local in Cayman who owns land there, the advice is to hold on to it unless you absolutely need the liquidity. Or of course develop it if you have the means. For context, Zanzibar is about 9 times larger than the Cayman Islands. Great video, I learned something from it.

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

I agree, there are communities/villages in Zanzibar, known for selling their land easily while some refuse to do so. The latter will come out strong and wealthy eventually I believe.

This is very helpful information. Please do a follow-up video on what foreigners need to do specifically to legally buy land in mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar.

[@Noble_Menelik7]

Extremely informative 👌🏿

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PeterUdoumoh]

I was thinking of investing into property in fumba town, but I’m going to do more research before so. This video helped a lot, thank you 🙏🏾

[@hajjism]

Zanzibar is made to be owned by Zanzibaris. If We sell our land, where will our children live? Where will be burried? This current type of tourism industry in Znz is what many locals do not accept. But everyone is allowed to come to Znz. But no buy land..

[@osoosoo1942]

Migration is global, are you going to stop Zenjis to buy land elsewhere ...you have been overtaken by order of events...

Thanks for this information. And as always. You are beyond beautiful. Stay blessed.

[@abomani21]

Meanwhile fellow Tanzanians from the mainland are not allowed to acquire and own land on the island. Yet, Zanzibaris can do so on the mainland. Just mull on that for a minute...

[@Esquire266]

Why are they not allowed to buy land?

[@abomani21]

It's written in the Zanzibari Constitution.

[@khalekichambo1131]

One of the most unfair decisions that came out of that union. I want out of this union

[@JeromeArmstrong]

The exact opposite is the case for foreigners that are investors. Buying land on the mainland first allows you to buy on Zanzibar without the local partnership clause.

Super informative vedio. Thanks heaps.

[@ketanshukla2961]

Thanks for the informative video, Property is complex and an evolving beast in Africa, due to lack of proper regulatory framework especially within Lands Registry in Nairobi or Mombasa for example even though you might own property outright it is easily lost by corruption at the the registries, I think the ZNZ model is probably better at least the locals are upfront and honest about what rights a foreigner can get !

[@classic2001plus]

Ok,, I went to Zanzibar and bought a Hotel. Come to find out, the attorney and the person I did the deal with scammed me out of my money. 5 local lawyers later, several air trips back to court dates and a joke for a judicial proceeding, I lost my money but gained an experience. We come back to Africa with a romantic illusion. Locals see outsiders as lunch. Government taxes are ridiculous and corruption is the norm. Moreover, foreigners and only lease land. Try going to court there with a local lawyer against a lawyer. Its a joke.

[@johnsonolajide4647]

I'm from Nigeria living in Sydney Australia. If you want to do business in Africa and if you are not born in Africa. You must find an honest African person who was born in your desire country in Africa. Majority of African people in Africa are notorious heartless when money matters are arise. Majority of people in Africa continent have no ability to earn money. They're so desperate for money. Apart from the mineral resources that African people are exporting in raw material. What else we Africans manufacture and sell to the world? Very few I will say. Any slightly mistake they'll scammed you. My own uncle and friends Scammed me in Nigeria. You must be very very careful dealing with African people in Africa. I knew many Africans won't like this comment, because majority of them hate truth.

[@buddyrojek9417]

@dingdong8242 Zanzibar is beautiful. My advice, rent a business, you only pay if you are getting the building . Zanzibar will become more popular with tourists, especially the new road from the airport to the best beaches

[@JESUSONLY777]

[@ArletteMaotieBomahou]

Thanks so much for sharing this golden information. In which African country would you recommend to buy?

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

You are much welcome. Depending on what you plan to do with the land, I can recommend Kenya.

[@dwamburu1]

Kenya 🇰🇪 is a capitalist country from the very inception of the country where a foreigner can buy land and if you live in Kenya legally for 7 years, one can claim citizenship.

[@dwamburu1]

Rwanda 🇷🇼 is also one country where foreigners can own land.

[@gastrogubimmed8112]

I recommend kenya too..I am planning to resettle there inshaAllah

[@BitcoinmeetupsOrg123]

The information is incorrect. There are in fact many places in the world where foreigners can go and buy freehold land on a tourist visa.

[@Petite_Mustang]

There is no country in this world where a non-native can buy land outright...they can lease the land but they CANNOT get freehold titles for the land. Any one with a little legal knowledge would know that..in countries like Japan, China or India, its almost impossible for a non-native to start a business let alone owning property.

[@beedebawng2556]

You're wrong.

[@anitasamuels8821]

@J_londess_James, as a British born in Southern Africa I can tell you that you can purchase land outright in South Africa and Zimbabwe as a foreigner.

[@intelimagic]

The 3 countries you mentioned are not the whole world. You are so wrong... and uninformed!

[@seansalter1679]

Canada USA list goes on.

[@johnsonolajide4647]

In Australia where I lived. Any foreigner can buy land or house without being an Australian citizen. Chinese, Americans, Arabs etc are buying big land and houses in Australia without being Australian citizen. If you don't believe me, go online and search for real estate agent in Australia and make enquiries about land and houses purchase in Australia.

Im hoping you already have a tour and guide company for Ethiopia, Tanzania and Kenya - whether cultural, business or other I think you’d be excellent-

[@losonobuntu]

Thank you for this content to confirm this is the most up to date information from Zanzibar investment Promotion Authority (ZIPA)? The 2.5M is specific to hotel designation? So, I believe the minimum threshold is $100K which doesn’t include land lease. So, I believe you’re saying a small boutique B&B under 10 rooms is feasible loophole for lower end investors?

[@Lekkervideos4sho]

the land is on a 100 years lease no land is for sale in zanzibar

All of this information is known though, if you speak to a lawyer they will give you all this information. The problem is people just go and buy land without doing ANY research! That is THEIR fault! I would never go to any country buy land/house and not get information before I do.

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

@@JewelsOnTheRun I saw your video with the lawyer on buying land in Tanzania and this crucial information about shareholding of 70% for the local partner or minimum investment of 2 mio usd to be the sole shareholder was definitely NOT mentioned by you guys or shared with your audience! It was pretty misleading to be honest!

You can buy land in the US and England on a tourist visa

I wonder what the Government in charge took the issue of selling the land this much easier to foreigners knowing the size of Island is such limited

[@dzhabrail9643]

Its a matter of time when they gonna sell and give title deeds. Smart investors not gonna buy and give 70% of their company to some locals. Nobody forced locals to sell their plots. Once people stops buying its all gonna come to a new rules

[@khalekichambo1131]

Foreigners will always want to buy, who'll not want to be part of Zanzibar?

[@dzhabrail9643]

@khalekichambo1131 Why, why should i buy something i cant own? Dubai started by only giving u leasehold and some locals, look at them now, almost no more area with leasehold, almost whole Dubai is freehold. Its investment oriented.

Firstly, Tanzania is NOT Africa, but in Africa. Tanzania is quite unique in the fact that over 90% of it's population are Bantu and also speak mostly one African language in kiSwahili. Unlike other African countries with diverse tribes quarreling. So, they're more close nit and protect their cultural value more than other African countries. I love that about them. Economically, it's paying dividend because it is one of the better performing economies in Africa.

The homes cost $180k-$225k; all 45 of them were sold in 45 days and will be completed in the next few months. I wonder if all 45 buyers will have to meet the guidelines you mentioned in your video. Here's a link to a video where he promotes his development: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJTKmWqmq9prr7s

[@planB-BacktoAfrica]

You can get residency through investment, so if you invest a minimum of 100k for a house in Zanzibar, you will be good. I was talking about people who want to buy land and build the homes themselves. In that case you need to open a company. Max is selling luxury homes for 180k. That’s a different story and his clients are on the safe side. By the way, Kudos to Max ✊🏾

[@lafleure355]

7:25 so why didn’t you make enough research? You can only buy to invest and not living in Zanzibar, no one should told you ,you have to do your own research,Your country Ethiopia I believe no foreigner owns a land. In Europe you also lease for 99 or 999 years . If Zanzibar keeps selling their land to foreigners there won’t be enough for the local as this is a disadvantage they are small islands.Because you have no money to buy in Zanzibar, you decided to talk nonsense, please go somewhere maybe in Addis ababa or neighbouring Eritrea
