About Zanzibar
Zanzibar is the perfect place to finish a safari: a short flight from Arusha or the Serengeti brings you to powder-white beaches and the warm Indian Ocean.
Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of carved doors, spice markets and rooftop cafés. Beyond the beaches you can snorkel at Mnemba atoll, tour a spice farm, see red colobus monkeys in Jozani forest and sail on a traditional dhow at sunset.

Good to know
Zanzibar: questions travellers ask
Which part of Zanzibar is best for beaches?
The north (Nungwi, Kendwa) has swimming at all tides. The east coast (Paje, Michamvi, Matemwe) is quieter, with dramatic tides and kitesurfing. We match the beach to how you like to spend your days.
How many nights should I spend?
Three nights is a good minimum after a safari; five or six lets you truly unwind and add Stone Town.
