Wander the atmospheric alleyways of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with intricately carved doors, bustling markets and centuries of trading history. Then retreat to the idyllic beaches of the north and east coasts for world-class relaxation.

Why Zanzibar
Unmissable experiences.
Turquoise waters, spice-scented air, historic Stone Town and pristine white-sand beaches — the perfect safari-beach extension.
Stone Town
A UNESCO World Heritage Site with a labyrinth of narrow streets, historic buildings, spice markets and an extraordinary blend of cultures.
Pristine Beaches
From Nungwi in the north to Paje in the east, Zanzibar's beaches offer powder-white sand and crystalline turquoise waters.
Spice Tours
Zanzibar is the original Spice Island — tour working plantations to discover cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, pepper and nutmeg grown on the island.
Mnemba Atoll

Jozani Forest
Home to the endangered red colobus monkey found nowhere else on Earth, plus rare butterflies and mangrove boardwalks.
