Zanzibar: Welcome

Zanzibar

Cosmopolitan in culture, a place of history and abundant natural riches, Zanzibar has captivated travellers and explorers for centuries, drawn by its mystique and charm.


In recent years, Zanzibar has become a rising tourism star amongst African destinations, its palm-fringed beaches, sapphire seas and welcoming people proving an irresistible lure to visitors seeking an authentic family-friendly, competitively-priced holiday of eternal sunshine and warm smiles.


Steeped in legend and mystery, a must-see on the wish-list of any dedicated traveller, Zanzibar is a short plane hop from the coast of East Africa, home to the game-rich safari-lands of Kenya and Tanzania.


When twinned with a safari, the beguiling mix of African wildlife, rich history and peerless, untouched beaches makes for a unique travel experience, without comparison across the world.
