Zanzibar Holidays
Many people come to Tanzania for their dream safari experience, but this idyllic archipelago offers an equally valuable opportunity for you to take a few days to unwind in Tanzania’s very own slice of paradise.
Whether you’re looking to travel back in time visiting Stone Town, learn about the island’s rich cultural history as an important trade and spice centre, participate in some water sports, or simply relax beneath palm trees with a drink in your hand – Zanzibar offers it all. A holiday to Zanzibar offers up something for all tastes.
Zanzibar Activities
Zanzibar offers you the ultimate beach and leisure experience. For those who love the sun, sand, and surf – Zanzibar is a perfect escape.
The island of Unguja is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. There are countless resort options for those wanting a bit of pampering, but an isolated stretch of beach is never too far away for those wanting some peace and quiet. Snorkelling, scuba diving, kayaking, deep sea fishing, windsurfing, and other water sports are on offer all over the island. If you fancy a bit of traditional adventure, you can even take a ride on a traditional dhow and see the island as locals have for centuries.
Zanzibar Beach
Zanzibar is truly one of Africa’s premier beach and leisure playgrounds.
With beautiful, white sandy beaches and crystal clear water perfect for swimming and scuba diving, people from all over the world travel to this tiny island paradise to escape from it all. In addition to relaxation and water sports, Zanzibar is also a unique part of Tanzania with a rich and fascinating culture as a spice island and former slave port. Walking through the alleys and markets of Stone Town is akin to time travel.
Zanzibar Culture
Zanzibar has a unique culture to that of the mainland. It’s history as part of the Sultanate of Oman and later as a part of the British Commonwealth means it is distinct from anything you’ve experienced elsewhere in Tanzania. Swahili, the language spoken in many parts of East Africa, is actually from Zanzibar originally. The language is a fusion of Arabic and the local tongue.
A trip to Zanzibar would not be complete without interacting with the local people and sampling the local flavours. With immigrants from all over the world, you’re in for a culinary and cultural adventure!
