Zanzibar Beach Holidays and Tours

Situated about 40kms off the East African coast in the Indian Ocean lays the Swahili Island of Zanzibar. The coastal island is known for its rich and unique culture that remains relatively intact dating back from the 18^th century. Zanzibar Island is part of the United Republic of Tanzania. The island is an ideal getaway and offers you a taste of sun, sand and sea within the tropics. Zanzibar is a collection of more than 50 islands varying in size and each having a unique tourist attraction. Zanzibar is famous for its striking blend of white sandy beaches, green palm trees and turquoise blue waters of the Indian Ocean.

Our Zanzibar Beach Holidays and Tours explore many parts of this beautiful island. After arriving at the Stone town, the capital, start off with a walk through the city. Here, you’ll find the true sense of Swahili culture blended in with Arab and Indian influence displayed on the architecture of the buildings, doors and on most artwork. You can also visit a local market, buy the spices of Zanzibar and enjoy the colourful art.

Along the east coast of Zanzibar is a long stretch of white sandy beaches edged by the turquoise blue waters of the ocean. Consider taking a boat ride to destination Mnemba Island, situated north of Zanzibar. The island’s reefs are among the best in Zanzibar – and a key attraction on our Zanzibar Beach Holidays and Tours. Snorkeling or scuba-diving here allows you to interact with Green Turtles and an array of dazzling reef fish. The seafood at the island is also worth experiencing.

Along the fringes of the south-western coast lies the Kizimkazi Fishing Village – a key site on our Zanzibar Beach Holidays and Tours. The small village is renowned for its Dolphins. Enjoy the under-water world with the company of the friendly Kizimkazi Dolphins. The Jozani Forest is the Island’s sole national park and hosts about 5,000 monkeys. As you walk along the well maintained nature trails look out for the rare Zanzibar Red Colobus Monkey. Jozani forest is the only place in Africa to see them. To the west coast lies the Chumbe Island. The island is ideal for those who fancy a birding safari on an island. Over 40 bird species have been recorded on the island. This birding experience is a highlight on our Zanzibar Beach Holidays and Tours.

Tanzania is truly a land wonder and admiration. The general warmth and hospitable nature of the Tanzanians adds up to the whole safari experience. Whether a first time visitor or a repeat guest, Tanzania will always offer something new. And as part of remembering your stay in this East African nation, consider learning a few Swahili words!
