The ultimate guide to Zanzibar beaches
Zanzibar and islands
Zanzibar and the Islands
Made famous for its spices and the slave trade of the 19th century, Zanzibar Island is much more than a stopping point on an itinerary, and can be seen as a destination in itself. What the island offers is a unique combination of outstanding beaches, along its eastern edge, interesting activities, such as visiting a working spice farm, and the cultural delights of Stone Town, with Arabian fortresses and minarets.
Mainland Coast
Mainland Coast
For those looking for a bit of rest and relaxation close to the city then the small inlets and secluded beaches that run to the south are just the ticket. While most of the resorts and lodges here don't offer diving, what they do offer is great value for money and total seclusion, away from the madding crowds on nearby Zanzibar. Quite often used in an itinerary for a few nights at the start of an itinerary to relax into a trip, they constitute a good alternative to resorts on Zanzibar.
Western Tanzania
Western Tanzania Safaris
The western safari parks of Katavi and Mahale are the “road less travelled” in safari circles. Due to the relative costs and inaccessibility of the region (a 4hour flight from Arusha or a night stop over from the south), only those both rich in funds and time tend to be able to get out here...but this is a huge shame as this really is an outstanding region of Africa and, in our opinion, really deserves to be ranked in the all time great trips on the continent.
Southern Tanzania
Southern Tanzania Safaris
Often overlooked by many safari operators in favour of the northern parks, the southern parks of Nyerere National Park (formerly the Selous Game Reserve) and Ruaha National Park are worth serious consideration and are the preferred destination for most who are really keen on their safari.
Diving and Snorkeling in Tanzania
When taken in comparison with some of the world’s best dive spots, such as Sipadan in Malaysia, or the Blue hole, Tanzania may not rank all that highly but this is to do it a disservice in our view.
Tanzania Safaris
A specialist, in depth guide to a Tanzania safari with an expert's guide of when to go, where to stay, what to see and a range of different Tanzania safari itineraries to choose from.
Tanzania
Walking safaris are, for many that regularly return to Africa, the ultimate way to experience the bush. While countries such as Zambia and Zimbabwe tend to steal the limelight for their walking itineraries, Tanzania does also, in fact, have some very good walking safaris and, when the troubles in Zimbabwe happened many of the top guides from there headed up to Tanzania to ply their trade and thus raised the bar as far as what you can expect.
