Zanzibar Island

A remarkable Tanzania destination, best experienced with local knowledge.

Overview

Zanzibar is the natural finale to a safari โ€” a short flight from the bush straight to the Indian Ocean. Stone Town’s winding alleys, carved wooden doors and spice-trade history make for a fascinating day, while the north and east coast beaches (Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje) offer some of East Africa’s clearest water for swimming, snorkelling and diving. Spice farm tours, Jozani Forest’s red colobus monkeys and dhow sunset cruises round out an easy few days of rest after the pace of game drives.
