Why Add Zanzibar?
After days of dusty game drives, Zanzibar's turquoise waters and white sand beaches are the perfect way to decompress. Most visitors add 3–5 days.
Stone Town
A UNESCO World Heritage Site with labyrinthine alleys, ornate doors, and a fascinating blend of African, Arab, and European influences.
Beaches
Nungwi and Kendwa on the north coast offer year-round swimming. Paje and Jambiani on the east are famous for kitesurfing and low-tide walks.
Spice Tours
Zanzibar earned its nickname "Spice Island" for good reason. Tour a spice farm to see (and taste) cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla growing wild.
Getting There
Direct flights from Kilimanjaro, Dar es Salaam, and Nairobi. Many East Africa safari packages include Zanzibar as an add-on.
