Zanzibar Safari

Zanzibar Island: The Perfect Indian Ocean Island Safari Destination For Those Looking To Relax

Zanzibar Island is an idyllic, romantic, exotic and hot beach holiday destination when on the East Coast of Africa; here on the Island of Zanzibar, you will find palm trees, tidal beaches and coral reefs, as well as a rich history, the historic Stone Town and a culture dating back 1000's years.

Zanzibar is a great place to relax before or after your Tanzania safari (or East Africa) and is located not far off the coast from Dar es Salaam.

We offer pre-planned Zanzibar tours that include everything from accommodation to transport, so all you need to do is show up at your hotel with your camera ready! Or, if it's something more tailored that suits your needs better, then we can create a bespoke Zanzibar package tailored around you.

You will be able to explore the Zanzibar island at your own pace in a guided touring vehicle, a hire car, or on foot, all the while taking in the incredible island scenery, people, and history, including Stone Town, not forgetting the fantastic cuisine on offer.

Sit back at one's chosen Zanzibar beach lodge and enjoy sunset cruises, snorkelling, diving, sun tanning on the beach and relax while the world's problems disappear into irrelevance; this is what life is like on Zanzibar.

The best thing about a safari or holiday to the Island of Zanzibar is that it has something for everyone, so whether you are travelling alone or with family, there will always be something to do when in Zanzibar.

When planning a safari from Zanzibar, there are many things to consider, such as how long should I go away? How much money should I spend when in Zanzibar? Where would be the best attractions to visit when in Zanzibar? Which is the better side of the Zanzibar to stay on? What type of Zanzibar activities are offered, and are they included in the price?

Our team has years of experience arranging tailor-made packages to Zanzibar, Pemba and Stone Town. Whether it's a family vacation, honeymoon or small group, our Zanzibar experts will help plan every detail down to the last minute should you so desire.
