DISCOVER ZANZIBAR

The Spice Island of the Indian Ocean

Zanzibar is a tropical archipelago off the coast of mainland Tanzania, famous for its white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, rich Swahili culture and centuries of history.

The main island, Unguja, is commonly known as Zanzibar Island, while the archipelago also includes Pemba and several smaller islands.

Known as the Spice Island, Zanzibar has a long association with cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and other spices. Its cultural heritage reflects centuries of connections between Africa, Arabia, India and Europe.

Beyond its beaches, the island offers a remarkable variety of experiences, from historic Stone Town and spice farms to coral reefs, marine adventures and wildlife experiences.

ZANZIBAR’S BEACHES

Nungwi & Kendwa — Northern Zanzibar

The northern coast is ideal for travellers looking for beautiful beaches, swimming, restaurants and a lively island atmosphere.

Nungwi Beach is one of Zanzibar’s most popular beaches, known for its white sand, turquoise waters, restaurants and vibrant atmosphere.

Kendwa Beach is famous for its soft white sand, spectacular sunsets and relatively smaller tidal changes compared with many beaches along the eastern coast.

Paje & Jambiani — Eastern Zanzibar

The southeast coast offers a more relaxed and local atmosphere, together with excellent opportunities for water sports.

Paje Beach is particularly popular for kitesurfing and other water activities.

Jambiani Beach offers a quieter and more traditional coastal experience, with long stretches of beach and a strong connection to local village life.

The eastern coast is strongly influenced by tides, creating dramatic changes in the shoreline throughout the day.

Matemwe — Snorkelling & Marine Experiences

Matemwe is a peaceful coastal destination popular with travellers seeking a quieter beach escape.

Its location also makes it a convenient base for marine experiences around Mnemba Atoll, particularly snorkelling and other ocean activities.

Michamvi & Pongwe — Peaceful Coastal Escapes

Michamvi and Pongwe are suited to travellers looking for a quieter and more secluded Zanzibar experience.

The coastline offers beautiful beaches, peaceful surroundings and spectacular sunsets.

Kizimkazi — Dolphins & Southern Zanzibar

Located on the southern coast, Kizimkazi is known for marine excursions and its connection to Zanzibar’s history and culture.

It is also a gateway for dolphin-watching experiences, depending on seasonal and local conditions.

BEST TIME TO VISIT ZANZIBAR

Zanzibar can be visited throughout much of the year, with different seasons offering different conditions.

June to October

Generally dry and comfortable conditions make this a popular period for beach holidays, sightseeing and outdoor activities.

December to February

Warm temperatures and generally favourable beach conditions make this another popular period for enjoying Zanzibar’s coastline and marine activities.

ZANZIBAR TRAVEL INFORMATION

ARRIVING IN ZANZIBAR

Most international visitors arrive through Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ), located on Unguja Island, approximately 5–6 kilometres from Stone Town.

Private airport transfers can be arranged as part of your Zanzibar holiday.

Visa

Visa requirements depend on your nationality. Travellers should check the current entry requirements before travelling to Tanzania.

Yellow Fever

A yellow fever certificate may be required for travellers arriving from certain countries where yellow fever is present.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is strongly recommended for your journey. Zanzibar may also have specific inbound travel insurance requirements, which should be confirmed before travel as regulations can change.

Respecting Local Culture

Zanzibar has a predominantly Muslim population. Visitors are encouraged to dress respectfully when visiting Stone Town, villages and other cultural areas.

When photographing local people, always ask for permission first.

IMPORTANT TIDAL INFORMATION

The tides are an important part of the Zanzibar experience, particularly along the eastern coast.

At low tide, the ocean can retreat significantly from the shoreline, exposing sandbanks and tidal pools. This creates beautiful opportunities for walking and exploring, but swimming conditions can vary throughout the day.

If swimming directly from the beach is a priority, your AMARÉA travel specialist can help you select a location that better matches your preferences.
