Zanzibar Archipelago / Africa

Zanzibar Island

Zanzibar Island combines warm Indian Ocean beaches with spice-growing landscapes, Swahili culture and easy access to historic Stone Town, creating far more than a simple beach extension.

Unguja, commonly called Zanzibar Island, is the largest island in the archipelago. Coral beaches and reef-fringed coastlines surround an interior of villages, farms and spice-growing country.

Experiencing Zanzibar Island

Beach stays can be balanced with snorkelling, diving, sailing and visits inland, while Stone Town provides the island’s essential historical and cultural counterpoint.

Planning your stay

Zanzibar is an easy partner for Tanzania safari, but choosing the right coast matters because tides, beach character and atmosphere vary significantly around the island.
