The Tanzania Safari cannot be fulfilled without the Zanzibar Beach Holidays spending five or six nights relaxing or taking a Tour To The Stone Town, also known as Mji Mkongwe (Swahili for “old town”), is the old part of Zanzibar City, the main city of Zanzibar, in Tanzania. (The newer percentage of the city is known as Ng’ambo, Swahili for ‘the other side’). Stone Town is located on the western coast of Unguja, the main island of the Zanzibar Archipelago.
Zanzibar has a wealth of activities to satisfy even the most demanding explorers from drift dives and kite surfing to dhow sunset cruise and pampering. We believe this is one of its key advantages over other Indian Ocean Islands along with its friendly nature and sensible pricing.
Below we have compiled a quick list to ensure you get the best from your Zanzibar Holiday or honeymoon;
In days past, Zanzibar was known as the ‘Spice Island’, exporting these across the world, the industry beginning with the Omani Arabs in the early 19th century when they made Zanzibar the capital of their empire.

Kizimkazi a fishing village located in southwest of Zanzibar is a home to several schools of the Bottle-nosed dolphins and Humpback dolphins, which are sighted following a short boat trip from the village. The dolphins are very friendly and playful. The best part is getting into the water and play with them and they will let you swim very close to them which is a truly memorable and rewarding experience
Leaving the resort in the morning you will reach by car the beautifully Muyuni beach, a breathtaking white-sand beach located in the north/east of the island, which present a rare natural and uncontaminated landscape. At the beach a boat will wait for you and it will cruise until The Atoll of Mnemba, which is paradise for divers and snorkelers with its amazing coral reef and the huge variety of fish and corals.
There will be two immersions of snorkeling, in between a break to rest where you can have water and fresh fruits on the boat enjoying the surrounding. After the snorkeling sessions the boat will reach a very suggestive and walkable bank of sand (it depends on the tide) on the way back to Muyuni beach. Arrived in Muyuni you will enjoy a delicious seafood based lunch and after that you can relax in the beach for a couple of hours before the return to the hotel.
Whether you stay at Nungwi beach, Kendwa beach, or even somewhere along the East coast, exploring Zanzibar’s north beach resorts is certainly worth the effort.
Nungwi is the third largest settlement in Zanzibar, with a population of about 5,500, found at the far north of the island. The smaller nearby Kendwa is on the west coast, overlooking the tiny Daloni island and the larger island of Tumbatu. Both are located about an hour’s drive from Stone Town.
