Zanzibar & Beyond Holidays


africa
Just off the coast of mainland Tanzania, the exotic islands of Zanzibar and Pemba offer beautiful turquoise waters which roll up on palm fringed white sand beaches and are home to some excellent diving opportunities.

Beyond the beaches, wander along the narrow winding streets in Stone Town’s historic quarter to discover a fascinating mix of cultures as well as some awe-inspiring architecture, or enjoy a tour of one of the island’s many spice plantations.

After the intensity of a captivating African safari, Zanzibar and Pemba Island are the perfect places to relax and unwind.

Zanzibar Top Tips From Our Travel Experts

Bethanie Hall - Zanzibar expert
Bethanie Hall

Zanzibar has so much to offer for a relatively small area. Make the most of the fish markets and explore the boutique shops in Stone Town. Then head over to the east coast beaches to relax, soak up some sun and enjoy spending time on the powder white sand with a cocktail in hand.

Marie Kiely - Zanzibar expert
Marie Kiely

Stone Town is amazing and no trip to Zanzibar should be without at least two nights here. A city tour is a must in Stone Town to get the most out of its fascinating history. Also, allow yourself to get lost among the many alleyways here! African House is a great spot for a drink at sunset.

Julia Havelka - Zanzibar expert
Julia Havelka

Though a proper holiday destination in its own right, the gorgeous beaches, sunshine and laidback lifestyle of Zanzibar make it the perfect choice for downtime after climbing Kilimanjaro or going on safari. Picture perfect beaches with tall swaying palm trees makes relaxing, potentially with a cocktail in hand, all too easy.
