Zanzibar Holidays - Enjoy a range of beautiful hotels and lodges on city, beach and safari holidays in Zanzibar with Africa Sky

Zanzibar Holidays

In the Indian Ocean, adjacent to the coast of Tanzania, is the island of Zanzibar - home to amazing Zanzibar holidays. Zanzibar was once the commercial centre for East Africa, and the last country to abolish the slave trade. Today, you can expect a fusion of ancient ruins and Arabic styling along a white sandy beach.

Zanzibar hotels and the local vicinity offer serene reefs for snorkelling in some of the most attractively clear blue water that you would find anywhere in the world. The area is also well known for its great deep sea fishing and water sport activities. The freshly caught fish is delicious, and makes a great addition to your daily diet. A Zanzibar safari is also a great way to explore some of the island’s indigenous wildlife including the Red Colobos Monkey and the elusive and possibly mythical Zanzibar leopard.

Visit the spice plantations for local exports such as cloves, vanilla and cardamom, or explore the capital, Stown Town, to complete your Zanzibar holiday.
