Why go

Zanzibar pairs perfectly with a mainland safari: powder-white beaches, warm Indian Ocean water and the winding alleys of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Snorkel at Mnemba Atoll, tour a spice farm, then watch the sun set over a dhow harbour.

Highlights

  • Stone Town's historic alleys and markets
  • Snorkelling and diving at Mnemba Atoll
  • Spice farm tours and Swahili cuisine
  • The classic 'safari then beach' combination
