About Zanzibar
White-sand beaches, historic Stone Town, spice farms, dhow cruises and the lively Forodhani night market.
Zanzibar is an island archipelago in the Indian Ocean, a short flight from the mainland. It combines white-sand beaches, clear water, spice farms and the historic streets of Stone Town.
Wildlife
Highlights are the red colobus monkeys of Jozani Forest, dolphins on the south coast, giant tortoises on Prison Island and the marine life of the reefs.
Best time to visit
June to October and December to February are the driest, most pleasant months. The coast is best avoided during the heavy rains from March to May.
Where to stay
