Zanzibar is an island located in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of mainland Tanzania. On your visit to Tanzania for a Kilimanjaro climb or safari, you shouldn't bypass this archipelago. The islands are divided into several sub-islands, such as Pemba and Unguja — the major one, and the one most people mean when they say "Zanzibar". Here you'll experience magical, pristine beaches, hidden forests with rare monkeys, enclaves favoured by dolphins, and an ancient town with narrow, stone streets steeped in history. The south-east has continuous waves favoured by surfers and dolphin watchers, while the north and west of the island offer endless beaches with turquoise waters and coral reefs.
Visitors can experience a variety of excursions, such as touring a spice plantation, walking through Jozani Forest, deep-sea fishing, meeting the impressive tortoises on Prison Island — some over 150 years old — swimming with dolphins in the deep water, and scuba diving. Those seeking deep relaxation can enjoy a massage and sundowner drinks on the beach — the perfect close to a Tanzania safari or Kilimanjaro climb.
