Beach and island escape

5-Day Zanzibar Beach Holiday

  • 5 days / 4 nights
  • Zanzibar
  • Private holiday
  • June to October and December to February for the driest beach weather; April and May bring heavier rains.

Overview

Not every journey to Tanzania needs a safari vehicle. This Zanzibar-only escape is built for travellers who want slow mornings on the beach, clear swimming water and just enough exploring to feel the island's history.

Your days are yours to shape: snorkelling at Mnemba Atoll, a spice farm visit, a guided walk through Stone Town, or simply a good book under a palm thatch.

  • Four nights on a Zanzibar beach of your choosing

  • Traditional dhow sunset sail
  • Optional snorkelling trip to Mnemba Atoll
