Zanzibar Beach Holidays
Zanzibar does something few places manage: powder-white beaches within a short flight of the safari circuit, and a genuine, living history in Stone Town that's worth exploring in its own right.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do we get to Zanzibar from a safari?
A short direct flight from the northern Tanzania or Kenya safari circuits — usually under two hours.
Which part of the island should we stay in?
It depends what you're after — Nungwi in the north for nightlife and sunsets, Paje on the east coast for kite-surfing, the south for a quieter pace. We'll match this to your trip.
Is Stone Town worth a stop?
Genuinely, yes — its history and market are worth a day even for travelers coming purely for the beach.
Can we skip the safari and just book Zanzibar?
Absolutely — Zanzibar stands entirely on its own as a beach holiday, no safari required.
