Zanzibar Beach Escape
The perfect way to end a safari, or a sunny escape in its own right. Wander the winding alleys of Stone Town, smell cloves and cinnamon on a spice farm, then settle into a beach hotel on turquoise water for snorkelling, dhow sails and long, slow sunsets.

Spice, sand and the Indian Ocean
Zanzibar has been a crossroads of African, Arab, Indian and European cultures for centuries, and you feel it everywhere: in the carved wooden doors of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in the food and in the call to prayer drifting over the rooftops. Beyond the town lie spice plantations, the Jozani Forest with its rare red colobus monkeys, and some of the finest beaches in East Africa. We match you to the right coast: the north for sunsets and swimming at all tides, the east for wide lagoons, kitesurfing and quiet boutique hotels.
