Zanzibar: An Exotic Island Paradise of History and Beach Bliss
Situated just off Tanzania’s coast, Zanzibar instantly conjures images of an exotic island destination where Omani sultans and Portuguese travellers have both left their mark. It’s home to stunning stretches of sand, fragrant spice plantations and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed streets of Stone Town, which blends Asian, Arabic and African architectural influences.
Zanzibar is one of the most popular settings for a post-safari beach break, with a wide choice of accommodation options and direct flights available from the Serengeti. You can spend your days kicking back beneath a sun lounger, diving on the coral reefs or cruising on a traditional dhow to the islands that scatter the surrounding waters.
When night descends, head to the legendary Forodhani Market where elaborate displays of freshly-caught seafood are cooked right before your eyes. Zanzibar’s intoxicating cuisine is a reason to visit in itself, with cooking schools and colourful markets where you can delve headfirst into one of East Africa’s most beguiling destinations.
Discover for yourself why Zanzibar has lured countless travellers over the decades with one of our Zanzibar and Serengeti safari packages.
