Zanzibar Beach Holidays

Zanzibar — the Spice Island — is a tropical archipelago off Tanzania's coast, offering pristine beaches, rich history, and vibrant culture.

Beaches

From the powdery white sands of Nungwi and Kendwa in the north to the kite-surfing paradise of Paje on the east coast, Zanzibar's beaches are among the world's finest.

Stone Town

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Stone Town's labyrinthine alleys reveal centuries of Swahili, Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influences. Visit the House of Wonders, old slave market, and colorful Darajani Market.

Spice Tours

Zanzibar earned its nickname as the Spice Island. Tour the plantations to see, smell, and taste cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg growing in their natural state.

Marine Life

Snorkel with dolphins at Mnemba Atoll, swim with whale sharks (seasonal), or explore the coral reefs of Chumbe Island.

Best Time to Visit

June-October for dry, warm weather. December-February is also excellent. Avoid heavy rains in April-May.

Zanzibar is the perfect 3-5 day add-on after a Tanzania safari. Fly direct from Arusha or Dar es Salaam.
