Zanzibar
The Spice Island escape
TanzaniaAbout Zanzibar
Zanzibar is the classic post-safari paradise — turquoise shallows, blinding-white beaches, and the labyrinthine alleys of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site steeped in Swahili, Arab, and Indian heritage.
Spend your days snorkelling the Mnemba Atoll, wandering spice farms, and dining on seafood as dhows drift across the sunset. It is the gentlest possible landing after the drama of the plains.
