White beaches, spice farms, the old streets of Stone Town and turquoise reefs — how to plan a relaxing beach finish to your Tanzania adventure.
After early game drives or a week on the mountain, nothing beats a few days on the Indian Ocean. Zanzibar is only about an hour’s flight from Kilimanjaro or Arusha.
Stone Town
A UNESCO World Heritage Site full of carved wooden doors, busy markets and stories of the spice and slave trades. A guided walk is the best way to understand its history.
Spice farms
Zanzibar is known as the Spice Island. Smell, taste and learn how cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla are grown — a favourite with families.
Islands, sandbanks and reefs
Take a boat to Prison Island and its giant tortoises, relax on the Nakupenda sandbank, or snorkel the clear waters around Mnemba Atoll, where dolphins are often seen.
Jozani Forest
The only national park on the island, home to the rare red colobus monkey.
