Zanzibar

White-sand beaches, spice-scented Stone Town, vibrant coral reefs and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean — Africa's most enchanting island.

Welcome to Zanzibar

Zanzibar — Unguja — is a semi-autonomous archipelago off Tanzania's coast, and one of the most magical destinations in East Africa. With its powder-white beaches, warm turquoise waters, vibrant coral reefs, and the atmospheric streets of UNESCO-listed Stone Town, it's a destination unlike any other.

The island's rich history as a spice trading hub is visible everywhere — in its Swahili-Arab architecture, its bustling spice markets, and in its extraordinary cuisine that blends African, Arabic, Indian and Portuguese influences.

We offer standalone Zanzibar holidays and seamless beach extensions after your safari or Kilimanjaro climb. Our Zanzibar specialists will match you with the perfect beachfront accommodation and curate the finest island experiences.

Best Time to Visit Zanzibar

June – October

Peak dry season — clear skies, warm sea, ideal for diving and snorkeling. Coincides with the Kilimanjaro climbing season.

December – February

Short dry season — hot, sunny and excellent beach weather. Whale sharks visit Zanzibar's waters during this period.

March – May

Long rains season — lower prices, lush landscapes and fewer tourists. Still enjoyable with mostly morning sunshine before afternoon showers.

Year-Round Diving

Warm Indian Ocean waters (26–29°C) make Zanzibar suitable for diving and snorkeling all year. Best visibility June–March at Mnemba Atoll.
