Scuba Diving and Snorkeling

One of the biggest highlights of a Zanzibar safari is the chance to explore the underwater wonders that lie beneath the calm azure waters. Scuba diving is one of the best ways to view an array of marine species, from whale shark to dolphin, manta ray, turtles, tropical fish and many other species of marine life as well as corals and other plant life. For those who prefer to stay on the water’s surface, snorkeling is also an excellent past-time in Zanzibar, allowing you to spend hours floating on the water as you explore the clear Indian Ocean and its rich marine life.

Stone Town

Zanzibar beach holidays would not be the same without a trip to the historic and fascinating Stone Town. The birthplace of Freddie Mercury, Stone Town has a rich history that dates back to the slave trade, and with its tiny cobbled streets, beautiful old houses and bustling markets that sell everything from aromatic spices to fine Tanzanian coffee, vanilla, perfumes, fabric and many other treasures, the town is full of things to see and do.

Culture and Cuisine

Zanzibar has a rich and vibrant culture that has a strong Arabic influence, giving it a unique African fusion that can be found in all aspects of its culture, from the architecture and dress of its people, through to its delicious cuisine. Freshly caught seafood specialties are made even more delicious with exotic spices that are sourced from the island’s plantations, resulting in scrumptious cuisine that will be remembered long after your safari has ended.
