Zanzibar

A spice island of white-sand beaches, turquoise water and centuries of Swahili, Arab and Indian trading history.

Why Visit Zanzibar

Zanzibar is the natural finale to an East African safari — swap the savannah for warm Indian Ocean water and powder-white beaches. Stone Town's narrow alleys, carved doors and spice markets carry centuries of Swahili, Omani and Indian trading history, all still very much alive.

Beyond the beach, spice tours through clove and vanilla plantations, sunset dhow cruises, and some of the best snorkeling and diving on the East African coast round out a stay that feels worlds away from the mainland, despite being only a short flight from Dar es Salaam.
