Zanzibar

Holiday Paradise

Zanzibar is often considered a holiday paradise, not only of Tanzania, but of the entire African continent. The pearly white sandy beaches lined with palm trees and the crystal-clear azure sea define the typical holiday on Zanzibar.

This tropical island is in the Indian Ocean, about 35 kilometers from mainland Tanzania.

Together with Mafia Island and Pemba Island, Zanzibar is part of an archipelago known as the Spice Islands because of their rich variety of spices. Pemba lies slightly north of Zanzibar, while Mafia lies slightly to the south. Both islands are also popular holiday destinations in Tanzania and offer beautiful scenery and tranquility.

Zanzibar offers a plethora of experiences.

The island has a rich history, and the typical African town of Stone Town in particular is a fascinating visit.

During your holiday, you can undertake numerous excursions and activities, both on land and in the beautiful waters.

If you prefer to relax, you can enjoy delicious food and drinks to recover from everyday worries or after an impressive Tanzania safari.

If you plan to stay longer after your safari, we can book a flight to Zanzibar from Seronera Airport in the Serengeti or from Kilimanjaro Airport, depending on your safari program.

Zanzibar offers a wide range of accommodation, from luxury boutique resorts to simple beach hotels and lodges. We recommend you check the resort of your choice online and book it yourself.

Once on the island, you can book excursions and arrange your return flight to an international airport (for ex. Dar es Salaam or Kilimanjaro Airport). 

From some of our customers, we received positive feedback on some resorts and lodges. We have therefore included these on the website.
