Safari Details
Zanzibar is an intoxicating tropical island in the Indian Ocean, just 25 km off the coast of mainland Tanzania. It is famed for its atmospheric capital of Stone Town, one of the best preserved historical cities on the East African coast, as well as stunning white-sand beaches backed by palm trees and lapped by warm clear seas. Zanzibar has pleasing weather all year round due to its position near the equator, and a holiday here is probably just about any coupleโs dream honeymoon destination or what every family needs for a dose of Vitamin Sea! Whether youโre ending a Tanzania wildlife safari in the national parks, preparing to head to one, or simply want to relax in this gorgeous paradise, Zanzibar is the perfect island escape and will not let you down. On this 4-day holiday, there is plenty of time for lazing on the white sands of Kendwa Beach in the north of the island and trying the several water sports on offer. We also include the interesting sightseeing excursions of a walking tour of historical Stone Town, and a visit to the spice plantations to discover how the islandโs aromatic spices originally drew the Sultans of Oman to Zanzibar.
