Zanzibar Trips & Tours

Flaming sunsets, sandy beaches and luxe hotels are easily accessible on a classic Zanzibar getaway.
Zanzibar is a melting pot of cultures and tradition. A traditional trading point on the east African spice route, the island is famous for its vast spice farms and beautiful azure beaches. Stone Town is a bustling and unique little town with thin cobbled streets and thousands of vendors selling everything from fabrics to tasty food. There are many pristine islands surrounding Zanzibar if you are looking to disappear completely, and day trips to the bigger island of Pemba is a must. A combination of African, Arabic and eastern influences make Zanzibar a real cultural treasure. We just love it.

Why you'll love it

If you believe a holiday isn’t a holiday without some Vitamin D and a dose of warm turquoise water, add Zanzibar to your safari. It’s incredibly easy to get to, stunningly beautiful and even if the term "sunbathing" sends a chill down your spine, there’s plenty to do.
Off the beaten track

Off the beaten track

The traditional wooden dhows or sailing boats billowing across the ocean are a common sight in Zanzibar. But don’t just watch them – hire one for the day, complete with its local crew, and discover the hidden corners of the island on your own terms.
Something to think about

Something to think about

It's considered the height of disrespect to dress immodestly, especially when visiting towns, villages and local communities in Zanzibar. Travellers face penalties should their clothing be considered inappropriate - it might be helpful to check with hotel staff before you leave for the day.
