Zanzibar Holidays

About Zanzibar

Zanzibar sits off the Tanzanian coast and feels like nowhere else in the Indian Ocean. Stone Town is a UNESCO-listed maze of coral-stone alleys, carved doors and spice markets. The north (Nungwi and Kendwa) has the best swimming beaches and the liveliest sunset scene. The east coast (Paje, Jambiani, Michamvi) is quieter, with kitesurfing and dramatic tides. Spice plantations, dhow cruises and the reefs off Mnemba complete the picture.

Zanzibar is an easy add-on to a mainland safari, and equally good as a standalone beach holiday. Flights from South Africa are short, resorts run from relaxed boutique to full five-star, and the food - grilled seafood, coconut curries, cardamom coffee - is a genuine reason to go.

Best Time to Visit

June to September and December to February. Avoid the April-May long rains.

How to Get There

Abeid Amani Karume International (ZNZ), Zanzibar - direct from Johannesburg (Airlink) and via Nairobi or Dar es Salaam.
