Zanzibar
The Zanzibar Archipelago has some of
Africa’s best beaches: gorgeous, long stretches of fine white sand fringed by
palm trees. You’ll find a wide variety of hotels and lodges: something to suit
everyone from luxurious, all-inclusive resorts to ‘barefoot luxury’ private
islands and simple, inexpensive beach retreats. In addition to tours and
relaxing on the beach, we can arrange deep-sea fishing, snorkeling and SCUBA
trips. In addition to flying into Zanzibar, several ferries runs between Dar es
Salaam and the island. Let Kilimanjaro Vikings arrange the island getaway of
your dreams.
Stone Town
The heart of Zanzibar, Stone Town,
was constructed during the 19th century: a labyrinth of narrow alleys complete
with palaces, mosques, and tiny shops. It’s noisy, busy and not very clean –
but it has a vibrant, exotic atmosphere that can be enticing! Stay here for a
night or two – it’s often convenient for international flights – at one of the
beautiful converted merchant’s houses, and look forward to eating out.
Northern Zanzibar
Two or three hours drive from Stone
Town, the village of Nungwi marks the northern-most tip of Zanzibar. The
turquoise-blue ocean surrounds it on three sides; Nungwi has long been a magnet
for visitors seeking paradise. Come for some good diving and beaches, and
proximity to a lively village where there’s always a lot going on.
East Coast Zanzibar
The northern part of east coast
Zanzibar is lined with long, powder-white beaches. We’ve included the pick of
the small resorts here; all quite different – although their beaches are
similar! Offshore you’re find the magical Mnemba Island – the ultimate island
lodge for those who can afford it.
Michamvi Peninsula and Southeast Zanzibar
South along the east coast of
Zanzibar and the beach remains stunning: powder-white sand with a barrier reef,
lots of palm trees and a significant tidal range. The villages become a little
sleepier and more relaxed as you head south, and Jambiani, in particular, is
very relaxed indeed. For an authentic visit to a friendly village, you can’t
beat it.
Southwest Zanzibar
Fumba Peninsula is south of Stone
Town. Like the south-east of Zanzibar, this is a very relaxed and friendly corner
of the island which has seen few visitors. There are two good lodges here ––
whilst offshore is the award-winning eco-resort on Chumbe Island.
Pemba Island
Pemba is a 30-minute flight
northeast of Zanzibar. Though comparable in size, its economy is largely rural
and agricultural. It’s almost exclusively Muslim, with a people who are more
traditional in their occupations, and more conservative in their approach.
Mafia Archipelago
Although not part of the Zanzibar
Archipelago, the neighbouring Mafia Archipelago is a group of equally magical
Indian Ocean islands, just south of Zanzibar – which has just a handful of
small lodges. These are more remote, and quieter, than many places on Zanzibar
– and the diving and snorkeling are generally better here.
Kilimanjaro Vikings will be glad to
organize your beach experience fitting most budgets either as a stand-alone
adventure or as an extension to a Kilimanjaro climb or a safari
