Spice Island beaches with Swahili soul.
Zanzibar is the perfect post-safari beach reward — a 90-minute flight from Nairobi, a UNESCO-listed Stone Town, and some of the most photogenic beaches in the Indian Ocean. Nungwi and Kendwa give you the classic powder-sand-and-turquoise-sea shot; Paje on the east coast is kitesurfing heaven; and Stone Town anchors the trip with Swahili history, spice tours, and rooftop sunsets. We book the whole island — from boutique stays to all-inclusive five-star resorts.
Who it's for
Honeymooners, beach lovers, divers and snorkellers, and anyone pairing a Mara or Serengeti safari with a tropical finish.
