Zanzibar

Zanzibar is the perfect place to relax after a safari: white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, fragrant spices, and a variety of activities. The island offers both luxury and laid-back coastal life – the perfect conclusion to a Tanzanian journey.

Highlights

Nungwi & Kendwa – the island's best beaches
Located on the northwest coast, these beaches offer soft sand, excellent swimming, and some of Tanzania's most beautiful sunsets. The area has good hotels and restaurants, while maintaining a relaxed tropical vibe.

Matemwe – a snorkeler's paradise
A quieter area where the Mnemba Atoll provides some of East Africa's finest snorkeling and diving. Clear waters, coral reefs, and colorful marine life attract both beginners and experienced snorkelers.

Paje & Jambiani – bohemian beach atmosphere
Villages on the east coast feature long white beaches, shallow lagoons, and steady winds, making them world-class kitesurfing spots. Perfect for travelers seeking a relaxed pace, small local restaurants, and tranquil beaches.

Kiwengwa – long stretches of sand
One of Zanzibar's longest continuous beaches, offering quality hotels and all-inclusive options. Ideal for those looking for an easygoing beach holiday.

Stone Town – a UNESCO cultural treasure
The historic heart of the island, where Arab and African cultures meet. Narrow streets, lively markets, a seaside promenade, and the scent of spices make Stone Town a unique urban experience.

Spice Tour – Zanzibar's aromatic heritage
Known as the "Spice Island," Zanzibar offers visits to spice plantations to learn about cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, and vanilla, as well as to taste fresh local fruits.

Jozani Forest – home of the Red Colobus monkeys
Zanzibar's only national park, home to the endangered Red Colobus monkey. Walk along boardwalks through mangrove forests for an easy and memorable nature experience suitable for all ages.

Prison Island – giant tortoise sanctuary
A short boat ride from Stone Town takes you to an island home to tortoises up to 150 years old. The trip can be combined with snorkeling in crystal-clear waters.

Safari Blue – a classic marine adventure
A full-day excursion to the blue lagoons: dolphin watching, snorkeling, sandbanks, and a seafood barbecue – one of the island's most popular activities.
