Zanzibar Tanzania — Safari & Beach in One Trip
Zanzibar is part of Tanzania — an archipelago in the Indian Ocean off Tanzania's coast, united with the mainland since 1964. A trip to Zanzibar is a trip within Tanzania, just like the Serengeti or Kilimanjaro.
For travelers combining a Tanzania safari with Zanzibar, the transition is seamless: fly from the bush to the beach in just 2 hours. Four to seven days in Zanzibar Tanzania is ideal — enough time to explore Stone Town, snorkel at Mnemba Atoll, and still have lazy afternoons on white sand beaches.
We have been arranging Zanzibar extensions since 1978. We know the island intimately — which beaches suit which travelers, where to eat, when to go. Ask us anything.
What Makes Zanzibar Special
Stone Town
A UNESCO World Heritage Site. Narrow alleyways, carved wooden doors, the old slave market, Sultan's Palace, and the famous spice bazaar.
White Sand Beaches
Powdery white sand beaches on the east coast. Matemwe, Pongwe, Nungwi — each beach has its own character.
Mnemba Atoll
One of the best snorkeling spots in East Africa. Sea turtles, dolphins, and pristine coral gardens just off shore.
Spice Tours
Zanzibar was once the world's largest clove producer. Smell, taste, and touch cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, and cardamom straight from the source.
