Zanzibar consists of a large base with an operable gate, controlled by a switch which either team can open, but not close. The gate is a main part of objective based games, as a [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]] or other vehicles can be driven through the open gate directly into the base.

Naturally, the Gauss Warthog and Ghost spawn on the beach, and the [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|Chain Warthog]] and the other Ghost spawn near the base. In [[Flag]] and [[Assault]] game variants, there are no Chain Warthogs, and both Ghosts generate on the beach with the Gauss Warthog.

===The Wheel===
[[File:H2_Zanzibar_Wheel.png|thumb|300px|The wind turbine.]]
[[File:H2 Zanzibar Wheel.png|thumb|300px|The wind turbine.]]
The wheel is a large and distinctive feature of Zanzibar. There is a bridge that leads to the wheel on the top of ''the flag room''. The center of the wheel contains the [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]] and the [[M41 SPNKR|rocket launcher]] is located on the bridge. It can be reached in three ways. The first is by jumping across from the defensive base onto a platform. The second way up is by climbing a ramp and destroying a pin that lowers a different bridge to the center of the wheel (it is quite noisy though and it will give away your position). The riskiest way is by 'riding' one of the spokes of the wheel up to the top. However, this makes you an easy target and has the risk of you falling off. Once there you can get the sword by dropping into a niche in the very center of the wheel. By slipping into one of the slots in the wheel and riding till you make it to the sword. Or you could lob a grenade and pick up the sword after it has gone flying.

The Base Room is located at the end of the map. There's a gate on the right side that can only be opened by activating the Panel on the second floor of the Base Room. There are breakable windows and shutters that can close. The bridge leading to the Wheel isn't connected to the base room bridge because there's a gap between the two. To get from one Bridge to the other you have to jump. Sometimes you may not make it or land on the edge of the other bridge. But, if you do make it there will be a rocket launcher calling your name ahead of you.

*If you go to the large rock outside the gate on Zanzibar, face it with your back towards the beach and the big wheel, you can see a strange image of what looks to be a creature with a big nose on the rock. Below it is the face of a man wearing glasses. There is also an image of what looks like a UFO on the side of the wall right behind the rock mentioned above. To some it may look like an obscure snake head.

*The four pillars inside the main building cannot be completely destroyed, but the outer concrete can, adding to the degree of battle damage possible in Zanzibar.

*A vehicle placed on the platform will cause the latter to play the noise of it folding down until the vehicle comes to a rest.

'''Screeching noise'''
*If you get the Scorpion on top of the bridge leading to the windmill, it will lower the bridge down, and you will hear a screeching sound. As long as you have the Scorpion on the bridge, the sound will never go away.

*Open the gate from the switch inside the defending base and zoom in on it afterward. This screen also appears on the ''Halo 3'' computers seen in most multiplayer levels. The "Blue Screen of Death" from Windows computers will show up with a message:
*If the gate is opened using the computer inside of the defending base, a parody of the Windows "Blue Screen of Death" can be seen on the monitor with the message:
