Call a specialist to talk about Beach Holidays.
Zanzibar is the ideal destination for a beach holiday - either as a relaxing extension to an exciting big-game safari, or simply as a holiday in its own right.
What makes Zanzibar particularly appealing is that, in contrast to many other similar tropical paradises, most budgets can be catered for here. The price per night that you might pay may vary by a factor of ten or more - but the quality of your experience will lie within much closer bounds than this.
In addition to relaxing on the beach, or in the hotel pool, you can undertake a variety of watersports here, together with fishing, boat cruises, tours of the island and more. Even the island's capital - Stone Town - well repays a visit, with its fascinating, and sometimes dark, history (Zanzibar used to be the centre of Africa's slave trade).
We guarantee that you will want to return after spending time on one of Zanzibar's idyllic beaches.
