With turquoise water, fairytale white sand and colourful coral reefs, Zanzibar is a magical island escape.

Zanzibar is an archipelago off the coast of Tanzania, consisting of Zanzibar Island (known locally as Unguja), Pemba Island, and many smaller islands.

Zanzibar’s biggest draw is undoubtedly its stunning beaches with powdery white sand and bright coral reefs where visitors can snorkel with a range of tropical fish, seahorses, turtles and the elusive Dugong.

The interior of the island is as equally stunning as its coastline, with verdant tropical forests filled with brightly coloured exotic birds and lots of cheeky monkeys. Holidaymakers can explore the exotic Butterfly Centre and spice farms which are bursting with vanilla, nutmeg, and black pepper.

At the heart of the island’s capital of Zanzibar City you will find colourful Stone Town which is a UNESCO Heritage site. The Old Town has stunning cathedrals, grand mosques, vibrant marketplaces and maze-like streets, providing the perfect location for those holiday photographs.

Music fans can visit the Freddie Mercury Museum, which is dedicated to the life and music of the lead singer of Queen, who was born on the island.

If you are a Foodie, you’ll love Zanzibar with its street vendors and food markets serving a range of delicious dishes influenced by Arab, Indian and European cultures.

Zanzibar offers a range of beautiful boutique hotels, luxurious resorts and private villas, all surrounded by palm trees and tropical gardens.

Why not book a multi-centre holiday and explore Tanzania? You could climb Mount Kilimanjaro or go on a Safari adventure in the Serengeti.
