Zanzibar is everything you imagine for your beach vacation

Tanzania holds its reputation as one of Africa’s greatest safari destinations. But the more than 800 kilometers of dazzling Indian Ocean coastline here overshadows the fact. The stunning beaches, enticing coastline, and tropical islands make it a worthy place to explore.  It is home to some of the finest beach destinations, including the Zanzibar Archipelago. The proximity of beach destinations to safari parks makes Tanzania the finest safari and beach destination in Africa.  The attractive beaches lined with palm trees and luxurious lodges make Zanzibar Island the perennial destination for those seeking some sand and sun after a safari.

Why Zanzibar is the Perfect Beach Escape After Your Tanzania Safari

With its white, palm-lined beaches, Zanzibar is often seen as an idyllic beach getaway, especially after a safari. Honeymooners will love the exclusive and indulgent beachfront lodges, while parents will appreciate the range of family-friendly accommodations and activities available. Besides its beaches, Zanzibar has a myriad of activities to offer visitors. 

It’s no wonder that a vacation in Zanzibar is an amazing alternative for travelers who crave continuing the adventure.  If lying on the beach with a cocktail is your idea of heaven, then this is the place for you. The highly diverse Tanzanian coast has a fascinating blend of cultures and cuisines as well. Spend time exploring back-street markets, tasting local dishes, and interacting with local traders.

The beaches themselves are some of the finest on the East African coast, while the range of world-class dive sites will delight scuba divers and snorkellers. The depths of the Indian Ocean hide some of the world’s most unique creatures. It’s a paradise for keen divers. Are you a veteran diver or don’t know diving? There is something for everyone in Zanzibar.

There is a very viable alternative to spot and swim with the majestic Dolphins, and we would recommend it as a part of your to-do activity in your 5-days Zanzibar beach vacation package.

If you love the reward of searching out wildlife, the Zanzibar Archipelago has so much to offer you, too. Jozani Forest is one of the last remaining sanctuaries for the endangered red colobus monkey. The natural reserve is easily accessible from anywhere on the island. The trips to Jozani can also be combined with other excursions on the island. Boasting dramatic landscapes inhabited by a great diversity of wildlife, it offers an elite and undisturbed game-viewing experience. 

Zanzibar is everything you imagine of an Indian Ocean Island. The mile upon mile of beautiful beaches lined with palm trees and turquoise waters. Zanzibar Town is a hive of activity. It is the honeypot of local culture that always attracts tourists to its central ‘Stone Town’. A tour of Stone Town highlights its history, as well as allows visitors to see how modern Zanzibaris go about their day-to-day lives. A myriad of narrow streets here entice travelers to explore the town’s compelling architecture, market stalls, and learn about the island’s fascinating history. A trip to the island is not complete without a night in Stone Town to appreciate the importance of this little place. It is easily accessible from anywhere on the island, this tour makes for a lovely day trip.

Spices like clove, nutmeg, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and pepper allowed the Zanzibari economy to thrive. Many of these spice plantations are still operational today. Visitors to Zanzibar can go on a plantation tour to learn how these spices are grown. It is an interesting and educational activity that can be easily combined with other excursions on the island!
