Zanzibar Archipelago

Zanzibar is the quintessential post-safari beach destination — a tropical archipelago of white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and a rich cultural heritage that blends African, Arab, Indian, and European influences. The main island of Unguja (commonly called Zanzibar) has been a crossroads of Indian Ocean trade for over a millennium.

Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of narrow alleys, carved wooden doors, bustling bazaars, and crumbling palaces. Beyond the old town, the island's coastline offers some of the Indian Ocean's finest beaches — from the kite-surfing mecca of Paje to the calm, palm-fringed shores of Nungwi.

Zanzibar is the perfect complement to a Tanzania safari — a few days of beach relaxation, cultural exploration, and world-class seafood after the dust and excitement of the bush.
