About Zanzibar

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.

What to do

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

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

Tourism in Zanzibar has escalated in recent years and some of the hotels have lost their local flavour and personal touch. Do a little research to make sure you don’t end up with a cold dinner buffet and an overcrowded swimming pool – or just book with us!!

Wildlife in Zanzibar

In the gin-clear ocean around Zanzibar, marvel at bright corals with over 450 species of tropical fish, octopus, stingrays, moray eels, green turtles, hawksbill turtles, dolphins, humpback whales, and if you are very lucky: whales sharks and manta rays. In the coastal forests, spot the colobus and Sykes monkeys, bush babies, more than 50 species of butterfly, as well as brilliant bird species.
