Zanzibar in Full Color
The name Zanzibar immediately conjures up images of an island paradise with soft-sand, white beaches and shimmering azure waters. But, the Zanzibar Archipelago is so much more than romantic coastlines and blissful sunsets – these islands offer a kaleidoscope of sights, smells and tastes that feed your soul and leave you wanting to return. Zanzibar is without a doubt a tropical dream destination, ideal for getting away from it all, but it is also a fascinating destination from a historical and cultural perspective, as well as being a top adventure and eco-tourism destination
Trip Highlights
Zanzibar is a dream destination where white-sand beaches and warm turquoise waters meet rich culture and history. Perfect for snorkeling, diving, or simply unwinding, the island also offers adventures for nature lovers and culture seekers alike. Wander through Stone Town’s historic alleys and markets, explore ornate architecture, and discover the island’s blend of African, Arabic, Indian, and European influences. Known as the Spice Island, Zanzibar invites you to tour fragrant plantations, savor flavorful local cuisine, and soak in the rhythms of Taarab music. With its unique mix of relaxation, exploration, and romance, Zanzibar promises a truly unforgettable escape.
Our hotel’s beachfront is one of the most spectacular that we have seen on the island. Yours will be a truly spectacular view with pristine, powder white sand extending miles left and right!
Sail on a traditional dhow and snorkel on some of the best coral reefs in the archipelago.
Swim with these magnificent mammals on an ethical dolphin tour with the Dolphin and Marine Conservation Project. Snorkel and swim with them safely and respectfully in their own environment. An experience not to be missed!
Tour Zanzibar is nicknamed the Spice Island for good reason. As the leading spice trade hub in the world in the 19th century, the island still holds a rich tradition of growing and selling spices. Go on a walking tour to taste the fruits, spices, herbs, and flavors of Zanzibar!
