Zanzibar pairs the labyrinthine alleys of UNESCO-listed Stone Town — heavy with Swahili, Omani, and Indian architectural influence — with powder-white beaches on the north and east coasts. The spice plantations inland, the dhow sailing trips off Nungwi, and the snorkelling at Mnemba Atoll round out a destination that works as either a beach week or a Tanzania safari extension.

Don't miss
Book a spice farm tour in the interior highlands (around Kizimbani) early morning before the heat kicks in — Mrembo Spice Farm is small and unhurried compared to the tourist-packed options. You'll taste fresh cardamom, cloves, and vanilla straight from the plant.
Visit Nungwi Mnarani Marine Turtle Conservation Pond at low tide around 6am when the turtles are most active and the crowds haven't arrived. Entry is a small donation; you can swim alongside the green turtles.
Watch the sunset from the rooftop of Emerson on Hurumzi in Stone Town — the hotel charges a cover for non-guests at sunset but it's worth every dollar for the 360° view over the old town and the harbour.
Eat at the Forodhani Gardens night market on the Stone Town waterfront for Zanzibari pizza (a thin stuffed crepe), grilled lobster, and fresh sugar cane juice — arrive after 7pm when it's fully set up and negotiate prices before ordering.
Travel tips
- →Dress modestly outside resorts — Zanzibar is predominantly Muslim and Stone Town is conservative
- →East-coast beaches have huge tide swings; check timing if you want to swim, not walk
- →Buy a Zantel or Airtel SIM at the airport — resort WiFi is generally poor
