ZANZIBAR |
Zanzibar is an island with something for almost everyone. Steeped in a rich culture dating back centuries, the island has history, wildlife, exotic dining experiences and of course wonderful sandy beaches.
With beach accommodations for any budget and such a variety of experiences, there is a Zanzibar extension that is perfect for you.
The historic Zanzibar City (Stone Town) was the staging point for some of the world's greatest explorers. Its narrow streets are filled with interesting shops and facinating people.
No visit to Zanzibar would be complete without a Stone Town Tour.
STONE TOWN HISTORIAN - THREE DAYS WITH CULTURAL TOUR OF THE HISTORIC ZANZIBAR TOWN
RELAX ON THE BEACH - FOUR DAYS OF SOAKING UP THE SUN
COMBINATION OF BEACH AND CITY - EIGHT DAY TRIP PACKED WITH EXCURSIONS BUT PLENTY OF TIME FOR RELAXATION

OTHER BEACHES |
Tanzania also offers Pemba to the north (as part of the Zanzibar archipelago), Mafia Island to the south and the coastal areas of the mainland runing from Tanga to Mtwara.
You may also consider a trip to Mombasa. Known for some of Africa's best resort hotels and sandy beaches, it is still a popular destination.
And don't forget Lamu further to the north of Kenya or head in the other direction and visit Cape Town at Africa's southern tip.
