Beyond the Safari

Zanzibar & the Spice Islands

White-sand beaches, warm turquoise water and a thousand years of Swahili history - the perfect finale to your safari or Kilimanjaro climb.

An Island for Every Mood

White sand, warm
sea, deep history

Unguja the main island of Zanzibar is famous for its historic Stone Town, palm-fringed beaches and the coral reefs just offshore. Whichever pace you’re after, there’s a shore to match it: the lively north (Nungwi and Kendwa), the calm north-east (Matemwe and Kiwengwa), or the kite-surf coast of the east (Paje and Jambiani).

It’s the perfect way to unwind after a safari or Kilimanjaro climb swim, snorkel, wander the spice farms, or simply watch the dhows drift by. We’ll pair any beach stay with your adventure and handle every transfer.
