Zanzibar Holiday

The name alone is likely to conjure up images of spice markets, palm-fringed beaches and white-sailed dhows on a turquoise sea – and happily the reality doesn’t disappoint. Lying only a short distance off the Tanzania coast but at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East and Asia, Zanzibar has long been at the centre of the Indian Ocean experience in East Africa and a Zanzibar holiday is a sensory experience par excellence.

Exotic spices have been the island of Zanzibar's main export of the last thousand years and the atmosphere is heady with the aroma of cardamom, cloves and more. On your Zanzibar holiday, explore flawless landscapes from serene forests to smooth, white-sand beaches. With giant tortoises, historic forts, coral reefs, safaris and exotic markets, there a myriad  of exciting things to see. And with our Zanzibar all-inclusive holiday packages there's plenty of time for relaxing too. 

Go on spice tours, taste local dishes and walk the cobbled streets of the capital’s old quarter Stone Town, now a World Heritage Site buzzing with colourful back-street markets and local flavours. And then of course there are the Zanzibar beaches: perfect for anyone who simply wants to enjoy a lazily luxurious beach vacation - Zanzibar and its outlying islands are home to some of the finest beaches in East Africa as well as a number of its best dive sites.
