    Why Zanzibar?

    Whether you are looking for a Robinson Crusoe beach getaway or an ultra luxury all inclusive resort, you will find all options for accommodation on the Island of Zanzibar. With an abundance of sun, sea, and sand, this is a popular post-safari extension for most travelers.

    The heavy influence of African, Arab, European and Indian settlers makes the unique charm of Zanzibar something that one needs to experience in person to understand. Walking the cobbled streets of Stone Town you will undoubtedly test your bargaining skills against those of the apt shopkeepers ready to part with souvenirs, jewelry and fabrics. Don’t forget to try the tasty dishes including our personal favorites, the Zanzibari halwa and mix.

    An itinerary in Zanzibar depends on the type of experience you are looking for. You can opt to escape to a beach resort and recharge in the comfort of great food. Alternatively you can fill your stay with day trips; dive the picturesque coral reefs, swim with the dolphins, quench your thirst with coconut water and visit the historical sites.
