Zanzibar Beach Holidays

Zanzibar Beach Holidays

Zanzibar Island has more than 30 pristine beaches that leave holidaymakers spoilt for choice during their Zanzibar holiday. These include Nungwi, arguably the best beach in Zanzibar, Mangapwani, Matemwe,Pwani Mchangani, Kiwengwa and many others.

Zanzibar Island (known locally as Unguja, but as Zanzibar internationally) is 60 miles long and 20 miles wide, occupying a total area of approximately 650 square miles. It is characterised by beautiful sandy beaches with fringing coral reefs, and the magic of historic Stone Town - said to be the only functioning ancient town in East Africa. Zanzibar's brilliant white beaches lapped by the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean provide the perfect place to relax, soak up the sun and take a break from some busy sightseeing.

Nungwi Beach

is on the Zanzibar's northernmost tip. The beach is beautiful and clean, white sand, Crystal clear blue water. ​
It’s one of the rare Zanzibari beaches untroubled by severe undulations of high and low tides, making it perfect for all-day water activities.

Matemwe Beach

The Matemwe Beach is on the North-Eastern Zanzibar on small village which is loved by locals and travelers for its seemingly never-ending wide and romantic beach.


Prison Island Tour

No there are no prisoners on Zanzibar’s Prison Island. It was given the name because it was once used to quarantine those infected with yellow fever.
Today, the island hosts massive tortoises that have gained the attention of tourists from all over the world. Prison Island is easily accessible with a 30-minute boat ride from Stone Town..

Stone Town

This tour takes you through fabled Stone Town, where history appears to stand still. With visits to the House of Wonders, the Palace Museum (People's Palace), Dr Livingstone's House and the Arab Fort amongst others, it is a fascinating look at the essence of Zanzibar. You will see Zanzibar's bustling market, winding alleyways, ornately carved and studded doors, two cathedrals and countless mosques.

Spice Plantations

The history of Zanzibar would be incomplete without the cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper and many other spices which brought the Sultans of Oman and the beginnings of the infamous slave trade.

Jozani Forest:

The Jozani Natural Forest Reserve is located in the central east region of Zanzibar island and is home to the rare Red Colobus Monkey (pictured opposite), which is endemic to Zanzibar. These monkeys are full of character, and roam freely. They can also be seen at very close quarters just outside the reserve's perimeter and are incredibly photogenic.
