Pristine white-sand beaches, historic Stone Town, and turquoise Indian Ocean waters — the perfect post-safari relaxation.
Zanzibar is the perfect complement to an East African safari. This semi-autonomous archipelago off the Tanzanian coast offers pristine white-sand beaches, warm turquoise waters, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Stone Town.
With its winding alleys, spice markets, carved wooden doors, and centuries of Swahili, Arab, Portuguese, and British history, Stone Town is a cultural treasure. Beyond the town, explore spice plantations, snorkel the crystal-clear waters of Mnemba Atoll, sail on a traditional dhow at sunset, and relax at world-class beach resorts.
Recommended: June to October (dry season); December to February

Dry Season
The short dry season brings clear skies and excellent game viewing. Vegetation thins out, concentrating wildlife around remaining water sources. This is one of the best months for photography with golden-hour light across the savanna.
