Zanzibar is famed for pristine white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and historic Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Explore narrow alleys with carved wooden doors, visit spice farms, snorkel at Mnemba Atoll, or relax on world-class beaches.

Zanzibar sits just off Tanzania's coast in the Indian Ocean, its history shaped by centuries as a hub for the Swahili coast's spice and slave trade routes. Stone Town, its historic heart, is a dense maze of coral-stone buildings, ornate carved doorways and narrow alleys that earned it UNESCO World Heritage status.
Beyond Stone Town, the island's coastline is what draws most travellers — white sand, warm turquoise water, and a laid-back pace that makes it a natural place to unwind after a safari on the mainland.
Short flights connect Zanzibar with Kilimanjaro, Arusha and Dar es Salaam, typically under an hour and a half.
Very much so — it's the most popular add-on after a northern circuit safari, giving a beach finish to the trip.
June to October and December to February are driest. The long rains (March–May) and short rains (November) bring more frequent showers.
3–5 nights is typical for a beach add-on; longer if Zanzibar is the main focus of the trip.
