The Zanzibar archipelago is one of the most historic Indian Ocean islands, awash with atmosphere, intrigue, and idyllic beach experiences. There are masses of accommodation options across the price spectrum, and plenty to see, do and discover.
As the birthplace of the Swahili, site of Sultans’ Palaces and renowned for its spice plantations, the little island republic of Zanzibar features larger-than-life on the world map and is a must-see at the end of any African trip, but is especially great when added onto a Tanzanian safari
Perhaps you’ve just explored the vast plains of the Serengeti, hiked the peaks of Kilimanjaro or simply looking for a beach holiday like no other, then the spice islands should certainly be your next stop.
But just how to travel to Zanzibar is the biggest question for tourists.
Whether you choose to fly to Zanzibar over the stunning blue waters to view the tropical wilderness from the air, or take a ferry to Stone Town and experience the heart of Zanzibar from the ground – or the ocean – Zanzibar won’t disappoint.
