Travel Advice & Information
Spice Islands and the Tanzanian Coast holidays are the perfect feet-up finish to an exhilarating safari in the country’s savannahs. Swap majestic land mammals for colourful underwater creatures and the lapping waves of the Indian Ocean as you relax and revive on some of the planet’s most picture-perfect beaches. Uncover the true flavour of the region as you island hop between a handful of its star players; Zanzibar is the most frequented and developed island in the archipelago, a sparkling gem of sugary sand beaches, designer hotels and an atmosphere rich in culture; the island of Pemba is an exotic jewel of a destination with watersports aplenty and Mafia Island is a truly unspoilt Eden.
Spice Islands and the Tanzanian Coast holidays are as much a paradise for weary travellers looking for the ultimate zen escape as they are for energetic sports fanatics eager for a thrill. Tropical days can be spent fishing, snorkelling, hiking and sailing. There’s excellent diving, too – Mafia Island has the country’s first marine park with some of the best coral reefs in the world. Perfect beaches, amazing food and next-level hotels also make for serious honeymoon goals.
The hotels in this part of the world invite unadulterated luxury – imagine you’re a (very fortunate) castaway in one of the beachfront eco lodges on Pemba Island, just north of Zanzibar. Each elegant dwelling balances on wooden stilts between the jungle and the ocean and is only accessible by boat. Alternatively, settle for a cottage on the powdery sands of Pangani Beach, located on Tanzania’s southeastern shore. Voted one of the best beaches in the world, here you can endlessly rotate from a sun lounger on your private veranda to the sparkling azure waters. Or opt for a converted Sultan’s palace in Zanzibar’s historic Stone Town, complete with four poster bed and rooftop terrace. When it comes to blissed-out luxury, Spice Islands and the Tanzanian Coast holidays are an authority.
