Tanzania’s extensive Indian Ocean coastline offers travelers the opportunity to choose from many tropical beach destinations in both mainland Tanzania and the islands of Zanzibar. Although the most obvious attractions are the idyllic white-sand beaches and world-class scuba diving.
Known as the Spice Island, the beautiful island of Zanzibar on Africa’s east coast is bursting with culture and history, seemingly at odds with its idyllic geography of white-sand beaches and coral reefs with palms swaying lazily in the sea breeze.
Zanzibar is a world-class beach destination famous for hosting everything from honeymoons to company retreats. Its beautiful, fine white sandy beaches and coral reefs, water-based activities, and transparent blue seas make it an ideal dream vacation destination. It is located about 15 miles off the coast of Tanzania and the island also has a colorful culture and history. With so many beaches to choose from, check out these itineraries to choose the right destination based on your interests:
2 Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Island
If you are looking for an adventure safari of a lifetime, an ultimate mountain climb that reaches the highest peaks of Africa, or the magic island of Zanzibar, then Tanzania is the place to be. You will get the best experience in excursions in Tanzania. We will assist you in planning and packaging your vacation.
3 Days Zanzibar Tour
Tanzania’s most famous coastal destination is Zanzibar’s main island of Unguja, which has numerous resorts and hotels both on the beach and in Stone Town, the island’s fascinating, must-see capital. Spend the day on the island with a variety of optional activities. These will include the spice tour, Jozani forest, Stone Town tour, scuba diving, snorkeling, and Prison Island.
4 Day Slave Route Tour
The 4-day slave route tour program to Zanzibar is a good opportunity to visit Tippu Tip’s House, the Old Fort, the People’s Palace and the House of Wonders. Another experience is the boat tour to Prison Island, the former prison for slaves and quarantine station for Zanzibar. The tour also includes a visit to the slave caves and chambers.
5 Day Zanzibar Jambiani Beach
A 5-day holiday in Zanzibar is a well-designed beach holiday package for total relaxation and Zanzibar people’s culture. The capital of Zanzibar is located on the island of Unguja as Zanzibar Town, a cultural and historic Swahili city state, about 36 km off the coast of mainland Tanzania.
5 Days Zanzibar Beach and Safari Blue
The original and the best “Safari Blue” is a full-day excursion using locally made traditional sailing dhows of between 8 and 10 meters in length. We currently operate 6 passenger-carrying dhows that are finished to the very highest standards and fitted with outboard engines, marine VHF radios, gas inflatable life jackets, sunshades, boarding ladders, waterproof bags, and a first aid kit with DAN oxygen unit. We also have public liability and marine insurance.
5 Day Snorkeling, Cycling, and Safari Blue in Zanzibar
The Safari Blue tour is one of the most popular day trips from Fumba village (and a fair few other locations as well). Though not cheap, it offers a full and fascinating day including all transport, snorkeling, food, drink, etc. It also offers a far more nature-friendly way of possibly catching sight of some dolphins than the numerous “Swimming with Dolphins” trips offered from Kizimkazi.
6-Day Zanzibar Beach Budget Holiday
The 6-day Zanzibar budget tour is an unforgettable program that comprises Stone Town historical tours, a spice tour, and beach leisure and relaxation on the white-sand beaches of northern Zanzibar. Depending on your time you can take a short trip of three days to Tarangire National Park, Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
7-Day Zanzibar Luxury Beach Holidays
The program is suitable for beach leisure, a spice tasting tour, and a historical tour within Stone Town to experience the true culture of the Zanzibar islands. Before Zanzibar, you can take a short safari in northern Tanzania or to nearby national parks including Mikumi National Park, Udzungwa Mountains Park, and Selous Game Reserve.

Those who have done a Zanzibar honeymoon say the island is the place dreams are made of.
