One of the most desired beach destinations in Africa is the paradise island of Zanzibar. Its international airport allows great access to visitors from across the world, and with many domestic flights offered, it is the perfect destination to combine with an African safari. The island homes a wealth of accommodation for every budget, ranging from comfortable resorts to luxurious boutique hotels, suited to all types of travellers, be it large families or romantic honeymooners. With its location, barrier reef and outstanding beaches Zanzibar can offer all of the attractions that most crave such as scuba diving, glorious beaches, fresh seafood and much more.
There are also stretches of coastline along the mainland of Kenya and Tanzania that are beautiful and worth spending a couple of nights on. For example the south coast of Kenya offers a wide range of different options for the discerning beach-goer. From the wide, white sand beaches of Watamu and Diani, to the hidden coves of Funzi Keys and the secluded luxury of Msambweni and Kinondo Kwetu, there is something for everyone’s palate.
Whilst falling asleep under the African sun, or reading a book in a swinging hammock are the ultimate relaxation activities, the beach properties across East Africa offer a variety of watersports and water-based activities for those looking to be more active. These include snorkeling, diving, dolphin trips, kite surfing, sunset cruises, fishing and many more. If you are particularly interested, please see the snorkeling and diving page.
