Zanzibar Holiday Packages After Your Safari

Our Zanzibar holiday packages are the perfect way to relax after the dust and early mornings of a safari. Just a short flight from Arusha, the Serengeti or Dar es Salaam, the island offers white-sand beaches, warm turquoise water, historic Stone Town and the scent of cloves and cinnamon on the breeze. Browse the packages above or let us build a trip around your dates.

Best Beaches for Zanzibar Holiday Packages

Nungwi and Kendwa in the north have deep water for swimming at most tides, lively restaurants and beautiful sunsets. Paje and Jambiani on the east coast are famous for wide tidal lagoons, seaweed farms and kitesurfing. Matemwe is quiet and close to Mnemba Atoll, while Michamvi offers peaceful sunset views over Chwaka Bay.

Things to Do in Zanzibar

Explore the narrow lanes, carved doors and markets of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit a spice farm to taste fresh nutmeg, vanilla and cardamom, and take a boat to Prison Island to meet giant tortoises. Snorkel or dive around Mnemba Atoll, sail on a traditional dhow at sunset, walk among red colobus monkeys in Jozani Forest, or spend a lazy afternoon on a sandbank.

When to Book Zanzibar Holiday Packages

The best weather is from June to October and from late December to February, when days are sunny and the sea is calm. March to May brings the long rains and some hotels close for part of this period. November has short showers but is still a good month for beach time and fewer crowds.

Safari and Beach Combinations

Most guests combine Zanzibar holiday packages with a northern circuit safari. A popular plan is five or six days in Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, followed by four to seven nights by the sea. You can fly from the Serengeti airstrips or from Arusha straight to Zanzibar, so no time is wasted on long drives.

Honeymoons and Special Occasions

Zanzibar is one of the most romantic places in East Africa. Couples can enjoy candlelit dinners on the sand, sunset dhow cruises, spa treatments and private beach villas. Let us know if you are celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary or birthday, and we will add thoughtful touches to make the trip extra special.

Where to Stay

From barefoot beach bungalows to boutique hotels and all-inclusive resorts, there is accommodation for every budget. Families often prefer the north for swimming, while couples love the quieter east coast for honeymoons. We will suggest the right area and hotel for your travel style, and every one of our Zanzibar holiday packages can include airport transfers, excursions and meal plans to suit you.
