Zanzibar holidays: A guide to Zanzibar Beach Holidays |
Welcome to Zanzibar - the mystical Spice Island in the Indian Ocean
What comes to your mind if you think of Zanzibar? For sure idyllic, palm fringed beaches with the azure blue Indian Ocean.
The islands of Zanzibar stir the imagination and conjure up images of magical Arabian nights, the scent of spices on the evening air and spirit of ages gone by. The name Zanzibar has such a romantic and exotic ring to it that some visitors are easily led to a comparison with “the ancient Baghdad of Haroun el Rashid”.
Beach Holiday in Zanzibar
Beaches in Tanzania are located along the Indian Ocean which give rise to several long unspoilt and exclusive beaches. Tanzania's brilliant white beaches (Mainly Zanzibar, Pemba, and Mafia) lapped by the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean provide the perfect place to relax, soak up the sun and take a break from some busy Safari tours.
The beaches are a paradise, interspersed with picturesque fishing villages, where the people live a simple way of life, unchanged over the years. We organise Beach holidays to the Tanzania in some the most exclusive beach hotels available.

Stone Town |
Zanzibar Stone Town is a unique place. The intriguing history tells us about brave sea traders, explorers, Sultans and the fragrance of exotic spices. The exceptional architecture and construction of the coral stone buildings and narrow streets carries the imprints of the influences of various cultures and traditions brought in by the Stone Town inhabitants. Each building; its windows, its carved doors, its walls tells its own historical past.
In the year 2000, Zanzibar Stone Town got inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Following this, some committed citizens and well-wishers interested in conserving and preserving Stone Town, decided to form a non-governmental organisation. The Zanzibar Stone Town Heritage Society was officially registered in June 2002. Currently, the Society has a membership of over 100 members, and works with communities within Stone Town in preserving its heritage and culture. |
| Pemba Island |
Pemba Island - the northernmost Island of the archipelago. Pemba Island is still the world's major clove producer, but has now slipped into its more traditional role of being an Island Paradise with small inter-island trade. Chake wharf is now mainly used for swimming & fishing.
Pemba was seized by the Sultan of Muscat (now Oman) in the 17th century. He was so
enchanted by the Spice Islands that he installed himself in Zanzibar and ruled Muscat from there. When the Western Colonial powers came to East Africa the British forced the
Sultanates of Muscat and Zanzibar to separate and then administered the Spice Islands in the name of the Sultan. |
