Zanzibar Vacation Overview

Zanzibar Beach

Zanzibar isn’t one specific beach, but rather an archipelago off the coast of Tanzania known for its many stunning beaches. Each beach has its unique character and offerings, so the “best” beach for you depends on what you’re looking for in a beach vacation.

Here are some of the most popular beaches in Zanzibar:

  • Kendwa Beach: Another popular beach on the north coast, Kendwa is known for its stunning sunsets and excellent kitesurfing conditions. It’s also a great place to go for diving and snorkeling, as there are several coral reefs just off the shore.
  • Matemwe Beach: This quiet beach on the northeast coast is perfect for those seeking a more relaxed and secluded experience. There are a few luxury resorts here, but otherwise, the beach is largely undeveloped. It’s a great place to go for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling.
    Pongwe Beach: This beach on the east coast is known for its calm, shallow waters and beautiful coral reefs. It’s a great place to go for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. There are a few small resorts here, but the beach is generally less crowded than some of the other beaches in Zanzibar.
  • Paje Beach: This beach on the southeast coast is known for its long stretch of white sand and excellent kitesurfing conditions. There are also plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops along the beach, making it a great choice for those who want to be in the heart of the action.
  • Jambiani Beach: This beach on the south coast is known for its laid-back atmosphere and traditional fishing villages. It’s a great place to go for swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the local culture.

No matter which beach you choose, you’re sure to have a relaxing and enjoyable time in Zanzibar. Just be sure to do your research and choose a beach that matches your interests and preferences.

Our tour guide Godfrey did the most amazing job We used Explore Green Africa Safaris during our time in Tanzania. Our tour guide Godfrey did the most amazing job and took us to some amazing places which were not advertised as much as others. Raul even went to the efforts of going to the town and bringing us some delicious treats for us to take back home. We did many exertions, including the Tanzania safari and Memnba Island tour. Well trusted and would definitely recommend.

A better experience with Michael Shayo I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Michael Shayo at Explore Green Africa safaris! He took such good care of us and always had a bright smile on his face! He was punctual every time he picked us up or brought us somewhere. He kept a cooler stocked full of water and soda and brought us small snacks to make sure we were always well supplied. I have nothing but positive things to say about Explore Green Africa safaris and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania.

We had an amazing time on safari We had an amazing time on safari with Explore Green African Safaris Campany, the Team was very knowledgeable and clearly very experienced. We saw a lot of amazing sights all thanks to him (as we only managed to spot pumbas instead of cats ourselves!) In particular he was very skilled at driving during the difficult wet conditions we had in the Serengeti. Asante sana, Explore Green African Safaris Team.

Exhilarating and exciting four-day An exhilarating and exciting four-day safari with jakson john made our trip 'a dream' come true. We enjoyed Jackson sharing his knowledge and experience of wild life and the culture and traditions of his country while on safari. He is professional, personable, and very knowledgeable. Our trip to Tarangire and Ngorongoro was mind-boggling. We even saw hippos and rhinos. Thank you, jakson, for a wonderful safari experience and for sharing your knowledge with us. I highly recommend Explore Green Africa safaris, as they are able to cater to your individual needs and timelines.

I recommend the staff for better service Our Tanzania safari was organized through Explore Green African Safaris Team, though we didn’t book directly with them and it was booked via our local travel agent. Our accommodation was all Serengeti Heritage camps and thalodges on safari the accommodation was comfortable and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and we especially enjoyed the entertainment. Our guide, james was the best! He was very knowledgeable and very patient with us.. We can’t thank him enough for an unforgettable experience! Highly Recommended Explore Green African Safaris.

Comfortable and had the experience we were looking for I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Explore Green Africa safaris Team! From the first moment when he picked us up in Arusha, he was kind and informative. We were on a 6-day safari, and every day he went to great lengths to make sure we were comfortable and had the experience we were looking for. We saw all but a rhino from what we wanted to see and always felt we were in safe hands in every situation. I would recommend Explore Green Africa safaris team for sure!

Wonderful days in Tanzania on the game drive We had wonderful days in Tanzania on the game drive with Explore Green Africa safari are commitment to offering the best experience on our safari. We saw lions, buffaloes, and elephants for the first few hours. We saw hippos, zebras, and giraffes in different habitats. In short, a wonderful experience with the best service and all the team are supper. I can without a doubt give my warmest recommendation for this. However, this went great, so even if you need to do so, do not hesitate to choose Explore Green Africa safari, driver, and host in Tanzania.
